On Doug Williams and Washington’s Front Office

We spent a day with first-year Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay as the youngest coach in the NFL attempts to make his mark on his team at a recent minicamp.

There was a distinct “stay in your lane” element to Washington’s front-office realignment Tuesday. In fact, the big winner in the reshuffling—Super Bowl 22 MVP Doug Williams—used those words with me late Tuesday.

Which means the real winner might be club president Bruce Allen, because it’s likely he’ll continue to have final say on personnel matters—only with stronger input from Williams. With former GM Scot McCloughan having been banished after two years, Washington went the safe route.
