A couple of days after the Redskins

Published on 7 December 2019 at 02:29

A couple of days after the Redskins abruptly fired cheap authentic jerseys general manager Scot McCloughan last month and an anonymous team official said McCloughan “had multiple relapses due to alcohol,” Redskins defensive back DeAngelo Hall tweeted in support of Redskins President Bruce Allen. Hall also wished McCloughan “nothing but success in the future,” which is about the only thing Allen would say publicly about the decision at the time.

Sixteen days later, Allen finally broke his silence about McCloughan’s firing, which happened on the first day of free agency.

“I thought it was the right thing to do for where we were at the time,” Allen told The Post’s Liz Clarke. “We wanted to give clarity to our free agents and to our staff of where we were going. For Scot, it was good timing because it allows him to be hired by anyone right now before this draft.”

While some Redskins fans continue to blame Allen for firing McCloughan, perhaps out of jealousy or as the result of an internal power struggle over personnel control, Hall stands by what he tweeted last month.

“I still support Bruce Allen and this organization 100 percent,” Hall told Chad Dukes on Tuesday on 106.7 The Fan, when asked about his previous tweets and how players avoid getting involved in front-office drama. “I think the way you get around it is, at the end of the day, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I want to happen, those guys in the front office get paid for a reason and so they’ll make all those decisions. It doesn’t matter if I say yea, nay, I want this guy, I don’t want this guy, fire this guy. It doesn’t matter. They are going to do what they feel is in the best interest of the organization.
