Reputation of Sherman Lewis- our new play caller

Did anyone hear the news that just broke on fanhouse.com and 106.7 the fan? Apparently Danny boy tried to hire Shanahan to come in this season to replace Zorn to be the head coach, and he declined, some one needs to start a new thread

it was discussed a couple of weeks ago.. and there is a thread about it now as well

A full page of replies and not a single serious response that adds anything about the guy's history as a play caller.


I see you're new here. Welcome. Sherman Lewis sucks.

lol yupp when was the last time we actually contributed to anything? ever?

Being a long-suffering Orioles fan, I can see some loose paralells to the initial period of Peter Angelos' dictatorship. Oriole fans typically refer to this general set of behaviors as management being "Stuck on Stupid".

LOL. Nice

This may be old news but when we spoke last about this topic it was wild rumor. This now has been confirmed as truth.

Most the things we speak about on here are basically what ifs because we don't really know what the front office does behind closed doors but this affirms that they committed this action during this offseason.

I think it speaks volumes about what they plan to do this offseason and how they plan to structure the future front office...with or without Vinny.

It also speaks about how they are going to treat the next coach who comes to DC. They offered a job to someone without first having a vacancy. If that is no big deal to you then you're probably not one of the perspective coaches for the Washington Redskins because they'd probably give this some thought.

This is so unfair...how come I didn't get a call to "be an extra set of eyes" for the Redskins?

I don't get how you make the leap from how/if someone else was approached to 'that's how they are going to treat the next coach'. As far as I know, Snyder has treated all of his coaches in the same manner. Turner, he berated and fired publicly. Schotty, he challenged and fired. Spurrier resigned with little resistance. Gibbs retired. Zorn is clearly a lame duck and a conversation was had. How is that a precursor to future behavior?

I don't really see anything wrong with asking your preferred choice, 'Is there a circumstance that you would come and take over in season?' It's not like they were negotiating contract terms while Zorn is putting together the gameplan. I'm not a big Snyder guy but he gets shredded for everything, even if it's not a big deal.

This is so unfair...how come I didn't get a call to "be an extra set of eyes" for the Redskins?After watching the Skins this year I may need an extra set of eyes because there's a good chance I gouge mine out with a spoon.
