Bruce Allen, new Washington Redskins Executive VP! Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen will take over as executive vice president of football operations and general manager of the Washington Redskins as Vinny Cerrato resigned.
Bruce Allen who was fired from the Buccaneers along with coach Jon Gruden in January, is the son of former Redskins coach George Allen and grew up in Virginia, near Washington. His father is still a legend in Redskins circles.
The hire fuels speculation that Gruden will reunite with Allen with the Redskins, with many believing second-year coach Jim Zorn will be fired at the end of the season. Gruden has downplayed talk of a return to the sideline, signing a multiyear deal Nov. 16 to remain as an analyst with ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
