Day 1 of the thread. Bruce Allen is 59-90 (39.5 winning %) in charge of the Redskins. He was given a larger role this offseason. #FireBruceAllen
Day 2. Someone else already said it better. There is no metric that justifies continued employment for Bruce Allen. He should be fired today. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/Ourlads_Sy/status/1176545682875998209?s=20
Day 3. In 2016, the Redskins were 3rd in home attendance. In 2018, they were 27th. Bruce Allen, who presides over the business & football operations, was given more power this offseason. #FireBruceAllen
Day 4. Bruce Allen, who is in charge of football ops does not stand in front of assembled media & answer questions. He went on a publicity tour post draft but can't be bothered to address issues for an embattled team that has lost his entire tenure. Fire him today #FireBruceAllen
Day 5. In Bruce Allen’s 9 full seasons with the Redskins, the team has finished 3rd or 4th in the NFC East 7 times, gotten 8 or more wins 3 times. Based on record alone, he should be fired. #FireBruceAllen
Day 6. Local tv ratings, more alarming than attendance numbers, have rapidly declined to unprecedented lows in recent years. Fan disinterest & apathy once thought impossible, are here. Bruce Allen should be fired today. #FireBruceAllen
Day 7. The Redskins best player hates the team & is still holding out. #FireBruceAllen
Day 8. The Redskins interviewed several candidates to be their defensive coordinator this offseason while they still had a defensive coordinator. None of those candidates wanted the job so they pretended those were consultations. #FireBruceAllen
Day 9. Maybe the Redskins can go 28-0 over their next 28 so Bruce can close the gap on the juggernaut that is Jeff Fisher. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/BigReesh/status/1178716560468463617?s=20
Day 10 Bruce gave Kirk Cousins 2 franchise tags then let him walk, receiving a 3rd rd comp pick. He traded Kendall Fuller & a 3rd rd pick for Alex Smith & gave him 4 years $94 mil. Smith will never play again. He turned Cousins into losing Fuller & a huge cap hit #FireBruceAllen
Day 11 Bruce Allen trots out Doug Williams to press conferences when there's bad news but told him to turn his phone off when making a major organizational decision on the Alex Smith trade. #FireBruceAllen
Day 12 Bruce Allen went on a media tour after the draft as praise was heaped for a perceived solid class. Despite his authority over football & business, he cannot be bothered to answer questions from media. #FireBruceAllen
Day 13 Since 2012 the Redskins have spent the following assets on QBs: 3 1st rd picks & a 2nd, 2 franchise tags, traded a quality young CB (for a team struggling to cover)+ a 3rd & paid 4 years $94 mil, traded a 6th rd, used a 1st. None of them will start today #FireBruceAllen
Day 14 In 10 years of Bruce Allen stewardship, what do they have? A stadium overrun by opposing fans, welcomed for their $ & no new deal for a new stadium in sight. We know the team's record. He has failed at every aspect of his job. #FireBruceAllen
Day 15 In Bruce Allen's meandering, pandering, & convoluted press conference yesterday, not once, did he accept culpability for his terrible record as the lead executive & decision maker for the worst organization in sports. #FireBruceAllen
Day 16 The Culture Is Damn Good #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/p_connerjr/status/1181739758583762944?s=21
Day 17 Under Bruce, a savior has been trotted out & sent on a media tour. That person has then become the scapegoat & thinly veiled & vindictive leaks have come out besmirching the former hero. He is responsible for a toxic & myopic culture of losing. #FireBruceAllen
Day 18 It's been reported that Bruce Allen's plan w/Trent Williams is to continue to fine him in the hopes that he comes crawling back to an 0-5 team that just fired its coach. He said he has not considered trading him. Bruce Allen should be fired today. #FireBruceAllen
Day 19 The Redskins have been the most injured team in the NFL over the last several years. They commissioned a study to tell them how great they were doing. No substantive changes have been made. #FireBruceAllen
Day 20 After Bruce’s embarrassing ‘Winning off the field’ press conference, the team hired Scot McCloughan. They had their best 2 years under Dan & Bruce. Then they fired him & made sure everyone knew how problematic he was as if it made themselves look better. #FireBruceAllen
Day 21 The Redskins triumphed over the Miami Dolphins, a team actively building for the future, by virtue of a dropped pass on a 2 point conversion. They were even with a team that is tanking. Bruce Allen should be fired today. #FireBruceAllen
Day 22 Setting people up to fail has been a staple of Bruce Allen’s disastrous reign atop the Redskins org. A favorite is forcing players that a coach doesn’t want or that fit & then blaming that coach when it doesn’t work out. Damn good culture. #FireBruceAllen
Day 24 This will change if Bruce pulls a rabbit out of his hindquarters but as of now, this is the latest blemish on his terrible record. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/Jake_Trotter/status/1184522144962748417?s=20
Day 25 Bruce Allen is the least trusted & among the least prepared executives in the NFL. #FireBruceAllen https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/04/19/nfl-agent-poll-bruce-allen-redskins-bill-belichick-demaurice-smith/528741002/
Day 26 When the Redskins signed Reuben Foster on the heels of his release. Bruce had Doug Williams take the podium despite leaking that he himself had ‘masterminded’ the signing. Doug claimed the team had interviewed the Alabama players on the roster. They hadn’t #FireBruceAllen
Day 27 This is asinine and borderline malpractice. Fire Bruce Allen today. During the game. Post it on the Jumbotron and the place goes nuts. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/mikegarafolo/status/1185593667710533635?s=21
Day 28 Bruce Allen has repeatedly asked for the team to be judged by its record. The record under Bruce is terrible. Here's another example! #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/CraigHoffman/status/1186003603208769538?s=20
Day 29 #FireBruceAllen Current state of the Redskins: https://twitter.com/funnydanny/status/1186287292635340801?s=21
Day 30 Congrats to Bruce for hitting 60 wins as the senior Redskins executive! Unfortunately, he also has 93 losses. He received more power this offseason. #FireBruceAllen
Day 31 The Redskins play tonight against their former QB. Interest is paltry. Something once thought impossible, has happened. Fans have been driven away in droves. The man in charge of football & business has presided over all of it. #FireBruceAllen
Day 32 Look at the response since the firing! So much responding! Bruce was so right. They’ve solved the problem. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/andrea_kremer/status/1187526196516589570?s=21
Day 33 The Redskins are 16-36 in prime time games since 2002. That includes a 2-16 record on MNF since 2008. Bruce Allen should fired immediately #FireBruceAllen
Day 34 This is among ol’ Bruce’s greatest hits. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/recordsandradio/status/1188451955775102976?s=21
Day 35 NFL trade deadline is tomorrow. The Redskins will likely not be trading their desirable assets, of which there are few, for future picks. Bruce Allen sets the direction of the franchise. He should be fired immediately. #FireBruceAllen
Day 36 Brian LaFemina, who is well respected & honest was trotted out by the org for months to try to reach out to Redskins fans & repair the damage of the last several decades. He was fired less than 8 months later & Bruce absorbed power & hired his old cronies. #FireBruceAllen
Day 37 The Redskins are 1-7 & going nowhere. They made 0 trades to acquire draft picks for their future. Bruce Allen is in charge of this & the rudderless direction of a moribund franchise. Every day Bruce Allen is employed is an insult to fans. #FireBruceAllen
Day 39 Back in training camp, Bruce Allen told the media he ‘knew the truth’ about the Trent Williams situation. Was this it? Sitting out just enough weeks so he could accrue a season, a flimsy attempt to trade him, & a future grievance hearing? #FireBruceAllen
Day 40 The Redskins under Bruce Allen are up to their usual behavior. In this case, anonymously contradicting details of Trent Williams accounting of events. Per usual, even if they are ‘right’ they are still wrong. Pointless futility. #FireBruceAllen
Day 41 Today, we will see the Redskins 'Damn Good Culture on Display'. Remember Bruce's rambling, contradictory, and circuitous press conference after the firing of Jay Gruden as the game plays out today. He should be fired immediately. #FireBruceAllen
Day 42 The Redskins have no touchdowns over their last 13 quarters. #FireBruceAllen
Day 43 Bruce Allen believed this team was close. The most important job of football executives is to properly self-evaluate. That's the only way to know what's needed. Bruce has consistently failed colossally in this (and every other) area #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/PeteHaileyNBCS/status/1191425315224076290?s=20
Day 44 Bruce Allen gave complete control of the roster to a guy who was 27-22 at Nebraska & who’s offensive ideas belong at Nebraska in 1992. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/jpfinlaynbcs/status/1191798981296295939?s=21
Day 45 The Redskins have been bad for a long time. When teams are bad, they try new things in an attempt to get good. Bruce Allen is still here. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/firebruceallen0/status/1192096944035905537?s=21
Day 46 This entirely avoidable situation has no winners. A futile display of obstinance by a myopic, duplicitous & inept yes man. Bruce Allen should be fired immediately. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/rapsheet/status/1192548300161003525?s=21
Day 47 When giving the state of the Redskins, Bruce Allen, in an effort to quantify all the losing, famously said ‘we are winning off the field. We have to start winning on the field’. That was 5 years ago. It’s gotten worse. #FireBruceAllen
Day 48 This past offseason, the Redskins interviewed multiple experienced defensive coordinators. The job still belongs to Greg Manusky. Bruce Allen claimed they were consulting interviews. None of them wanted the job. Damn Good Culture #FireBruceAllen
Day 49 Bruce Allen has a lifetime record as an executive of 98-134-1. That's a .422 winning %. 15 years of sample gives us a pretty good idea of who he is. He should be fired today. #FireBruceAllen
Day 50 Bruce Allen has run some very successful people out of the building. Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, Brian LaFemina, Morocco Brown, Kirk Cousins, Preston Smith, Lorenzo Alexander & many others. Today is a great day to fire Bruce Allen. #FireBruceAllen
Day 51 This was 5 years ago. It's worse now. #HarvestFest #FireBruceAllen https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/12/01/bruce-allen-turns-a-question-about-rgiiis-benching-into-an-answer-about-harvest-fest/
Day 52 The Redskins under Bruce Allen have finished 3rd or 4th in the NFC East in 8/10 years. He should be fired immediately. #FireBruceAllen
Day 53 Fire Bruce Allen. Fire him. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/dcsportsbog/status/1194275018458439680?s=20
Day 54 The Redskins have a worse record than the openly rebuilding Dolphins with a fraction of the future draft capital. Simply put, the team is in a terrible position. It’s architect received more power this offseason. #FireBruceAllen
Day 55 In addition to ruining the football operation, Bruce Allen appropriated the business ops after ousting the respected Brian LaFemina. Fan interest has never been lower. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/JeremyRachlin/status/1195740977178300422?s=20
Day 57 Reminder, Bruce Allen is in charge of business operations too! #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/BrianKapur/status/1196499993542176769?s=20
Day 58 The Redskins have been very bad under Bruce Allen. They have been especially bad at home. Now is a good day to fire Bruce Allen #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/granthpaulsen/status/1196454944272003074?s=20
Day 59 The Redskins have lost their stranglehold on a once captivated & obsessed audience. Something that was unthinkable only a handful of years ago. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/RickMaese/status/1197491898891550720?s=20
Day 60 Bruce Allen's marquee free agent signing! #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/CraigHoffman/status/1197648232920309760?s=20
Day 61 We always hear that Bruce Allen can help 'get a stadium'. Billionaires can get a stadium at any time. What this means is that someone else foots the bill. The public has 0 interest in paying for this poorly run franchise. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/sfcpoll/status/1197849730996408320?s=20
Day 62 Bruce hired a guy w/documented alcohol problem, trotted him out as the savior, had their best 2 years since '99/'00, lied about where he was/what he was doing, leaked stories about his issues, went after his $ in grievance hearings. Damn Good Culture #FireBruceAllen
Day 63 Trading for Smith & keeping the vets this year was Bruce believing the team was close & to prove they're better off w/out Cousins & others. High $ vets like Norman/Trent/Reed should have been traded/released this offseason. None contribute to a 2-9 team. #FireBruceAllen
Day 64 #FireBruceAllen
https://twitter.com/jpfinlaynbcs/status/1199309026510725120?s=21 https://twitter.com/jpfinlaynbcs/status/1199309026510725120

Day 65 Trent Williams still has not played for the Redskins this year. Bruce Allen told everyone he knew the truth. Was this what he knew? Should be brought up every day. #FireBruceAllen
Day 66 Bruce Allen is grateful, on this day of giving thanks, that he’s employed by Dan Snyder & the Redskins. Only here could someone fail in every aspect of their job for 10 years & get promoted. #FireBruceAllen
Day 67 We’re not that far removed from Bruce Allen wanting time sit in with the team replay guys & let the coach know when to challenge something. He is a dinosaur. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/jpfinlaynbcs/status/1199780901460295680?s=21 https://twitter.com/JPFinlayNBCS/status/1199780901460295680
Day 68 The Redskins had nearly 1/3 of their salary cap not play for them this past Sunday. This is a direct reflection of poor management. Bruce Allen is that manager. Still. #FireBruceAllen
Day 69 (Nice) There are thousands of fans just like me who love the Redskins despite near 30 years of ineptitude, the previous 20 under Snyder, & the worst decade of my fandom under Bruce Allen. Many can be brought back with a simple, long overdue act. It’s time. #FireBruceAllen
Day 70 Bruce Allen, as the top executive in a multi-billion $ company with huge public interest, went about 600 days without taking questions from media. The lack of basic accountability is a hallmark of his disastrous regime. #FireBruceAllen
Day 71 Bruce Allen is and has been, disastrous as an executive with the Redskins. #FireBruceAllen https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/a-decade-ago-the-redskins-ushered-in-a-beacon-of-hope-his-name-was-bruce-allen/2019/12/02/f8062d5e-152e-11ea-a659-7d69641c6ff7_story.html
Day 72 Regardless of wether or not you agree with the decision to move on from the coach is irrelevant. This is accountability. This is what it is supposed to look like. Imagine Dan or Bruce doing this. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/1201996758416547840?s=20
Day 73 There is no greater example of this phenomenon than in DC. The owner has had an unqualified disaster in charge of his org for decades who remains by running others under the bus. #FireBruceAllen https://twitter.com/thefootballgirl/status/1201967223184584704?s=20
