The Scot McCloughan situation

Scot McCloughan - G - Redskins

In a wide-ranging column detailing the Redskins' impending split with GM Scot McCloughan, the Washington Post explains the separation was caused by arguments over control and whether to sign Kirk Cousins long term, and the Redskins' lack of support for McCloughan.

We would recommend reading the piece below if you're any kind of NFL fan. McCloughan felt disrespected the Redskins did not defend him when Chris Cooley spread a rumor McCloughan had relapsed into alcoholism. McCloughan also told people in 2016 he would have signed Cousins long term "if he had full control," which "angered" team president Bruce Allen. McCloughan and the coaching staff clashed over McCloughan's preference of more-talented Rashad Ross over coaches-pet Ryan Grant. The Post reports McCloughan never stopped drinking, but "several peers all agreed they didn't believe McCloughan's drinking ever hindered his job." Per the Post, the Redskins and McCloughan are now "in the process of working toward a buyout." Allen and coach Jay Gruden won the power struggle.

Chris Cooley seems like a real shithead to me. Always has. Don't know why.

so a man who has a multi million dollar position that men across the nation would envy, he has total control and endless resources and is in the midst of losing it all because of alcohol. I'm sorry but that sounds like a controlling disease

I have been an addict for a large portion of my life. My youth was spent with drug abuse, then alcohol abuse, then drug mixed with alcohol abuse. 

I have been to more NA and AA meetings than I care to count. Truth be told they are just replacing one crutch for another. That once you are an addict you are for life thing is good for business but frankly falls short of reality.

Cancer is a disease. Alcohol abuse is a coping mechanism. Like seeing someone that weighs 300 lbs. That's not a disease either. It's lack of willpower to get control of your poo.

Just my opinion of course but from someone that has been around it forever it's all a farce.

Some people definitely seem more prone to addictions than others, but yeah, it's primarily a self inflicted issue. I'm fortunate in that I've never had an addictive personality. Plenty of drugs when I was younger and still drink, heavily on occasion. Never had any issues. Plenty of friends can't say the same.
