What about the Washington Redskins will help lure in a new general manager after Scot McCloughan’s firing?

When the Washington Redskins fired their former general manager Scot McCloughan, there wasn’t a plan to replace him immediately.

Weeks have passed and the team is moving on. No one want the job after seeing what could be the worst exit interview in the league. NFL Network’s Mike Mayock was rumored to be a candidate for the job, but he killed that noise quick:

Shortly after this announcement, the Redskins moved forward. There have been no names to arise in the rumor mills of the NFL. They know they’ve blown any chance at finding a general manager, for the moment at least.

In response, they’re putting all the pieces in place to present a complete package. The team will look different, it will play different, and it will be operated different. No matter what the critics think, the Redskins will be the perfect business model for any GM prospect this season.

Yes, there’s a bit of unrest, but the positives outweigh the negatives here. With that in mind, here are three factors in play with the Redskins that make them an attractive landing spot for a new general manager.
