The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

Was told that Dan Snyder has informed people around the league that Bruce Allen was already informed of the change. Heard he will stay on to lead the new stadium process. https://t.co/UgUHdgatc3

Some of you sound like anything short of Bruce Allen getting strung up or run out of town on a rail is unsatisfactory. Slow your roll. Pro football is a game. ‘Hate’ and ‘punish’ should be reserved for things that really matter. Guy is human and hasn’t killed anyone.

I will say Bruce has been one of the worst things to happen to this franchise..but Skins fans talk about him like he’s El Chapo
— I’m Dre (@MrDcSportsBack) December 29, 2019
This isn’t and shouldn’t be good enough for #Redskins fans. Happened before with Scot McCloughan and Allen took back power. Also suspicious why Allen would accept a lesser job https://t.co/Ci4duck7XX
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 28, 2019
If Snyder is leaking news that BA will be out of football ops just to see if folks will be okay with him in a lesser position, let it be known that it’s a resounding “no, fam.”

There’s significant league buzz around Ron Rivera and the Redskins, with several sources believing he is a prime candidate for the job. ‘He’s being strongly considered,’ said a source of the minority candidate.

Ron Rivera:

Winning record ✅
Leader ✅
Playoffs & SB experience ✅
Defensive focus
Overall not the ideal candidate but a LOT of positives — and, perhaps more importantly, Snyder could do much worse.

People are actually complaining that Sammy Baugh made the NFL's All-Time Top 100 players. If that's you, you don't know or care about football history. That's fine. You can be a football fan and not a football historian. But this was the "all-time" team. Of course Baugh was on it

NFL Twitter seems to believe the sport was invented circa 2003.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) December 28, 2019
Baugh was simultaneously a great QB, safety and punter. He's a Babe Ruth level individual. Leaving him of the century team would simply be absurd. https://t.co/Q77tISSgpI

These are ... interesting ... candidates for the Redskins.
Still no word on GM, the most important component to all of these moves. #FireBruceAllen https://t.co/Pmucu1ixZO
As mentioned yesterday, still hearing Marvin Lewis' name. Source indicates Lewis believes he's among final candidates. Just a guess but Rivera may be top target but likely has more options. My preference, Rivera before Lewis but I like both as long as Bruce is out. #Redskins

Unclear but vital: is #Redskins’ new non-#BruceAllen front office or #DanSnyder leading coaching search that has #MarvinLewis, #RonRivera, Bienemy, etc. as candidates? New & improved FO must pick next HC, not be force-fed one. #Skins’ lack of organizational alignment has to stop.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) December 28, 2019
Dan Snyder would like to introduce a new head coach Monday, Urban Meyer "could be under consideration for a front office role," and Louis Riddick is a strong candidate for the #Redskins' GM job, per @Lescarpenter and @MarkMaske.https://t.co/UjAJOdkzs0
— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) December 29, 2019
Says Riddick is a strong possibility for the GM position. Riddick declined comment for the story https://t.co/0un1MkHAJ0
— Marshall (@MWharam7) December 29, 2019
If you take Dan Snyder's word that he wants to hire a coach "Monday" then Eric Bienemy is out. He can't interview until KC's bye week (if that is even attained). #Redskins https://t.co/XvivZagPdX
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) December 29, 2019
If the Redskins don't land Ron Rivera quickly, they would return to a list of coaching candidates that would include Marvin Lewis and Eric Bieniemy. Lewis could be the favorite at that point but he could interview with multiple teams.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) December 29, 2019
Ron Rivera is "a strong possibility" for the Redskins coaching job, source says. But Rivera could have several options. The Giants job might be attractive to him if Pat Shurmur is fired.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) December 29, 2019
News moving quickly now. Rivera and Lewis getting the most buzz. Might be in the minority but I still think they are both distractors.
— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) December 29, 2019
I will say there remains a lot of smoke over the possible changes. Sounds like DS doing the coach search. What does that mean? We shall see. Keep saying anything can happen. Gut feel says DS already knows. But unless he’s sharing, we piece together ... fun times
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 28, 2019
For all of the bloodthirstiness over firing Bruce, more and more I think the #Redskins fan base won’t be satisfied when the dust settles ... most of the front office jobs may just be internal hires and the head coach may be a retread https://t.co/YhtQ2SfuAf
— Mitchell Tischler (@Mitch_Tischler) December 28, 2019
Marvin Lewis brought a TRASH organization to relevance. Navigates incompetence well (relevant to this job). Spent a year embedded in the NCAA. Probably keeps KOC and brings in a much better defensive staff. I’d love to complain about fluky stuff happening in the playoffs.
— Marshall (@MWharam7) December 28, 2019
Guess the Urban Meyer portion may turn out to be false but everything else about it seems to be turning out right. https://t.co/rToNmChpYH
— Robbie Duncan (@RobbieDuncanOL) December 28, 2019
Many will laugh at the Redskins strongly considering Lewis, but I like it. CIN was a laughing stock prior to his tenure.

Oklahoma losing was probably a blessing in disguise for #Redskins fans. Lincoln Riley was one of Jerry Jones' premier candidates to sign on as Head Coach.

The first home game at Fed Ex 2020 would be sold out. That’s how loyal the fan base is. #HTTR
I don't think it's people being too smart, it's the fact that we're jaded. The worst thing has happened to the Skins fan base- we're just apathetic now. If you told me 20 years ago that someday I wouldn't care whether they won or lost, I would have never believed it. Sad.
