Shanahan wants control AND somebody to blame that's above him, so I'm not sure that I see this happening.

We can blame Dan Snyder for everything now!

dan Snyder and V. Cerrato are clearly both in control of the reigns for the Redskins. Vinny just because he is "best buds" with Snyder and is riding his coat tails as far as Snyder lets him. This being the case, they both will want a "Yes man" that they can control. Zorn is just that at this point in his career. Zorn is not the problem with the Redskins and their performance issues. The Redskins have to start acquiring players that are more productive and can allow the Offense (especially) to open up without so many limits which they have had over the past seasons.

Can we lock this up and bring it up after the draft?

No offense but why does everything that seems ignorant to some have to be locked up. It's a message board. If your not interested in the topic don't post. That's the mature thing to do. Better yet don't even entertain the mouse click.

I know it seems like a stupid thread and one on the cusp of a very important draft, but I can't say this has not entered my mind as well. I think it's obvious that if Zorn fails he's gone for one of the fancy smancy coach's that are available. I also half believed the whole Cutler issue was due to Shanahan. Possibly looking toward his future with the team.

To be honest I'm not a Shanahan fan. He's made playoffs many of times only to lose the division title. What one SB? He's not my first pick. Cowher is not much better. He's done the exact same thing. Chucky?...he went to the SB with two different teams who were built by other coach's.

I'm not sure who a good fit would be but I would think it's someone DS can get along with. Chucky is about his age but I forsee a personality conflict. Shanahan, if he truly would want total control will not get the job. That leaves Cowher and to be honest I would guess he would want as much or more control then he had in Pitt which probably will not happen with the Skins. Plus there are to many teams out there that would pick up one of those coach's in a heart beat and give them the control they would want.

I like Jim Zorn, and I want to see him get a fair shot.

My first thought would be here we go again, in start over mode yet again. :doh:

Exactly what I'm thinking. We'll AGAIN have the wrong players for the wrong scheme and AGAIN if Shanahan doesn't produce a champion in 2 years, we'll be doing the saaaame thing again.

I think Shanahan in an uncapped world would be tough to beat.

But that's only if you actually give Shanahan time to shape things the way he wants them, and it's only if you stay out of his way, and only if you commit to him. It's hard to see that happening.

And like Matty said, it sucks starting over every other year.

I totally agree. Its impoossible to be successful when you keep changing coaches every couple of years.

And couple that with constant changes/uncertainty at QB and it's a recipe for 8-8
