Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

No one answered me the first time yesterday so I'll ask again.

I know it's never happened before but could/can DS tell Zorn he's moving him to QB coach?

If DS fires Zorn he still owes him for next year which is like 3 mill. I guess it's chump change for him but was wondering because if DS can tell Zorn he's moving him to QB one of two things will happen

1) Zorn stays and makes 3 mill at QB coach, which he's actually good at and is humiliated by being demoted. or....
2) Zorn says no way and resigns. Meaning he leaves and DS does not owe him a thing.

Can he re-assign him to a different position w/o Zorn's consent? I would highly doubt it. I'm sure any NFL contract wouldn't allow such a thing.

Interesting idea, but i see two problems with it.

1) By all reports, DS told Allen he would step back and Allen's contract garauntees him full control. Whoever Allen hires as head coach will not want the previous HC within 100 miles of Redskins Park. It would create too many problems and has ZERO chance of working.
2) For all intents and purposes, Zorn has already been stripped of every bit of dignity he had, yet he didn't quit. There's no way Zorn would quit this job. In his three year contract, he's undoubtably made more money than he has his entire career. his wife would undoubtably kill him.

Question, Why is this thread title "Shanahan to DC done deal" when it definitley isn't, Zorns still our head coach, and who knows shanahan could take the job somewhere else. My point is NOTHING is definite yet.

I agree, I don't see the point in keeping Zorn around, or anyone else on the staff for that matter. Let's cut all ties and wipe the slate clean.

I would like to get rid of everyone, except for Kirk Olivadotti and Danny Smith. The rest can go bye, bye.

good luck to you bruce allen cause we are pulling for you to starighten this mess out and last night you now know first hand what it is going to take.

Why wouldn't they fire Zorn now and bring in a new head coach? Why not? They're going to fire him anyway. Let the new coach start bringing in people now. The last two games could be to see who makes the team.

Most of the assistant coaches are on other teams. We would have to wait till the seasons over to interview them.

Why would you want to keep Danny Smith?
Have we had one return cross midfield?

Danny Smith has done a good job of devising special teams plays. I like the guy.
