I imagine there'll be more names associated with this, maybe even Jimmy Raye since he's unattached but well established and recently interviewed for the Assistant GM spot.

Worth pointing out this might not necessarily be good news for Jeff Morrow who, despite his title (Executive Director of Player Personnel), has primarily been tasked with running the college scouting department for the last few years.

Morrow and Matt Allen are the last executive level holdovers from the Richardson era.

Purge them all.

Bio copied from last year's Washington media guide...

Cole Spencer enters his 11th season with Washington and his ninth season as a college scout for the team in 2020. Spencer oversaw scouting operations in the Southeast region from 2011-18 before being promoted to the role of national scout during the 2019 offseason.

Spencer originally joined Washington in 2010 and served as a scouting intern where he assisted in advance scouting and evaluation of NFL personnel. He also helped coordinate free agent workouts and college player visits. Prior to entering the NFL, Spencer worked at Eastern Illinois for a year as Football Operations and Defensive Quality Control Assistant.

Spencer graduated with a degree in economics and a minor in history from Northern Illinois University where he played tight end before an injury cut his playing career short. He played for Olentangy H.S., near Columbus, Ohio, where he grew up.

Spencer learned the game at a young age from his father, Tim, who is currently the running backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His brother, Evan, is a wide receiver who was selected by the Redskins in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Never held a true administrative role from what I can see (neither had the other guy we were reported to have interviewed).

As mentioned, I'm wondering what this could mean for Jeff Morrow.

maybe let's just update this thread with the Cole Spencer news

https://www.washingtonfootball.com/video/meet-the-scouts-cole-spencer-20363618

One of the first results that came up when I searched him.

Lotta teams don't even put their scouts on the team site, so it's not easy to find stuff on em.

Update: Official Announcement

Didn't Morrow get promoted? Although, I can easily see this being a switch with WFT. And who is our Southeastern scout?

I think the promotion to his current job came two years ago.

Morrow's in a funny spot because he and Pat Stewart have the same title, only difference being that Morrow has "executive" in front of his.

What's even more "funny" though is that, despite his elevated title, what he's actually been doing the last few years is acting as the director of college scouting...

...the job they just hired someone else to do.

Makes you wonder if he's getting reassigned, promoted or let go.

He didn't get interviewed for Assistant GM, so "promoted" doesn't sound likely.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
