Color me surprised that Cal hasn’t reached out to his kid’s god father for advice on this Clowney situation. Or just operating without a GM for a year period.

Sources: Redskins came close to hiring ex-Texans GM Rick Smith as president before Ron Rivera hire

Before they hired Ron Rivera as their new head coach this past week, the Washington Redskins came close to hiring former Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith as their president to run the team, league sources told ESPN.
Smith and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder had multiple meetings in the Bahamas, formulating a vision for the struggling franchise, according to sources.

Sources familiar with the situation expected a deal to get done and Smith to be in charge of the Redskins.

But Snyder ultimately opted to run his franchise through his head coach instead of a president, bestowing the power to Rivera, who was officially hired Wednesday.
The meetings in the Bahamas also proved that Smith is ready to return to the NFL at a time when some wondered when or whether he would, with good reason. Smith has spent the past year out of football, tending to his three children after his wife, Tiffany, died of cancer Jan. 31.

Smith got far along in his talks with Washington, and one source predicted it won't be long before he returns to a prominent position in the NFL.

I think would be interesting to see what kind of success (or lack thereof) Ricky would have as GM for another team.

It doesn’t seem fair to put him with Dan Snyder. Give the man a chance.
