The Redskins don’t do customary, and after dabbling in transparency and accountability for a few months last year following the hiring of Brian Lafemina from the league office, they apparently decided they’re not too keen on those two things either. Lafemina, who, in one of his first moves announced that the Redskins’ season ticket waiting list was no more, was ousted after eight months on the job. Meanwhile, Redskins team president and de facto general manager Bruce Allen, as well as owner Daniel Snyder, have remained silent about the direction of a franchise that missed the playoffs for the fourth time in Coach Jay Gruden’s five seasons.

General managers from 13 of the 20 teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs, including several that didn’t make head coaching changes, have met with reporters in the two weeks since the regular season ended. Except for the Redskins, every team’s general manager (or equivalent) has fielded questions from reporters in a group setting within the last year. The last time Allen took questions during a news conference was on June 13, 2017, when he introduced Doug Williams as the Redskins’ senior vice president of player personnel, three months after Scot McCloughan was fired as general manager.

“One of the things we wanted to do this offseason, from the beginning, was find out what we did wrong,” Allen said that day, before referencing a loss to the Giants in the 2016 regular season finale that cost the Redskins a playoff berth. “We should not have lost the last game of the season. From that Giants game on, the direction of this organization was, ‘We have to get better. We have to find out ways to win that game when we have that opportunity.’”

The Redskins haven’t gotten better, finishing 7-9 in consecutive seasons, and Allen, who is 59-84-1 in nine seasons at the helm, hasn’t answered for any of the team’s recent failures. He also declined to speak with reporters after the Redskins claimed former 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster off waivers in November, two days after Foster was arrested on a domestic violence charge for the second time in a year. (The charge was later dropped.) Instead, the team issued a statement attributed to Williams, who later apologized for comments he made on a radio show about the team’s heavily criticized decision to claim Foster. Allen wasn’t heard from after the Redskins released Pro Bowl safety D.J. Swearinger for insubordination on Christmas Eve or when Lafemina’s ouster was reported two days later.

A month after announcing Williams’ promotion in 2017, Allen invited a small group of reporters to Redskins Park, where he read a brief statement explaining Washington’s failed efforts to negotiate a long-term deal with Kirk Cousins before the deadline. Allen pronounced Cousins’s first name “Kurt” at least six times during his two-minute statement and declined to take questions.

Allen did conduct one-on-one interviews with reporters during the league’s annual meetings last March, more than nine months ago.

Perhaps Allen is still embarrassed by what transpired the last time he gave an end-of-season address, following the Redskins’ 4-12 campaign in 2014.

“It eats away at your core when you lose,” Allen said during that 40-minute news conference. “But we’re going to make sure everyone understands that that’s not acceptable, and that everybody is working together in order to get success on the football field and off the football field. I do think our charitable foundation does a fantastic job. We’re winning off the field. But we’ve got to start winning on the field.”

In fairness to Allen, there’s not much he could say — short of “I no longer work here” — that would appease the disgruntled Redskins fans behind the #FireBruceAllen movement on social media. While he has granted one-on-one interviews within the last year, his lack of news conferences puts him in a class of his own among his NFL peers. Most teams’ front office heads take questions from reporters multiple times a year, including at the combine, before or after the draft and during training camp. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones speaks with reporters after almost every game. At the other end of the spectrum, Bengals de facto general manager Mike Brown rarely meets with the media and didn’t speak at a news conference announcing Coach Marvin Lewis’s firing last month, but even he makes time for reporters once a year.

Obviously we’ve done a pretty extensive overhaul with the roster. We consistently talked about culture and building a winning culture. It’s a team that had to learn how to win again, so I feel really good about the foundation that we’ve started to lay. I’m not happy with 5-11, nobody is, but I feel good about where we’re headed.”
