The Washington Redskins have fired General Manager Scot McCloughan. They are now searching for his replacement. The best choice the Redskins could make is to hire NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock to fill the position.

Dysfunction is running wild as dawn breaks at Redskins Park. The Washington Redskins fired GM Scot McCloughan on Thursday night amid speculation of alcohol problems from anonymous team officials. Star players are leaving the team faster than people trying to escape a burning building. The attempt to calm the storm was signing two average at best defensive lineman to contracts worth around $5 million annually.

The mounting problems are even worse because of their bad timing. In Indianapolis, the NFL Combine took place and the Redskins front office decided it wasn’t important to have a GM in attendance. Then, the NFL Free Agency period started on the day they fired their GM. Now, the NFL Draft is just over a month away and the GM that put your draft strategy together is gone.

While change seems like the norm at Redskins Park, some things do stay the same. Team owner Daniel Snyder continues to remain silent while Team President Bruce Allen stands tall like the Washington Monument. It has become clear that the future of the Washington Redskins is in the hands of this 2-headed monster. This is a major problem for the team and their fans.

This dynamic duo has been behind many of the Redskins greatest blunders. They gave us Donovan McNabb when anyone with a brain knew that a team would not trade a franchise quarterback that could still play to a division rival. Because the Eagles knew he was finished they had no fear of facing him two times a season and maybe in the playoffs. When Brett Favre wanted a trade to division rival Minnesota, the Green Bay Packers traded him to the N.Y. Jets instead because they knew he could still play at a high level.

The greatest comedy skit from “The Dan and Bruce Comedy Hour” was trading for Robert Griffin III aka R.G.Me. This brain trust gave away three first round picks and one second round pick for a quarterback with no experience running a pro style offense at Baylor. Unless Mike Shanahan and Jay Gruden decided to call plays on poster boards with pictures of the Aflac Duck and Mickey Mouse symbolizing plays, this was never going to work. The Snyder-Allen decision-making combo has left us wanting a football mind to rescue the franchise. Enter Mike Mayock please.
