Bruce Allen to replace Vinny : Hours after the resignation of Vinny Cerrato, Redskins hired Bruce Allen and executive vice president and general manager on Thursday.
Allen, son of former Redskins coach George Allen, is the former GM of the Raiders and Bucs, of whom he was fired in January.
“Bruce Allen is the embodiment of victory to the winner and said,” team owner Daniel Snyder in a statement. “Our fans know his legacy, and we know its capabilities. Is the right person to lead the club.”
It is not clear whether Snyder joined the provisions of the Rooney Rule requires NFL teams to interview minority candidates for openings in the coach and general manager.
Allen will work with the Redskins on the spot. The first major decision of whether to retain the coach can Jim Zorn, who went 12-17 in two seasons in Washington.
“This is an exceptional opportunity and one of the world’s most successful sports privileges,” Allen said in a statement. “I love everything about this task, and I know what it means to be dedicated for theRedskins. I can not wait to get a job.” – Sean Leahy
