But that’s just the beginning of this troubling story.
According to an unnamed source in The Washington Post’s article on the firing, the Redskins made the move because of “McCloughan’s ongoing problems with alcohol.” McCloughan also was fired from the San Francsisco 49ers’ and Seattle Seahawks’ front offices due to problems with alcohol, according to the Post.
“He’s had multiple relapses due to alcohol,” the official told the Post. “He showed up in the locker room drunk on multiple occasions. . . . This has been a disaster for 18 months.”
