Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

Here's some more regarding T.O.:

T.O.'s time in Buffalo is nearly over | ProFootballTalk.com (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/01/02/tos-time-in-buffalo-is-nearly-over/)

Ross, if indeed Mike Shanahan becomes the new Redskins coach, I suppose he will bring the vaunted zone blocking scheme he used to run in Denver. If so, what kind of lineman are better suited for this kind of scheme and what made it so successful back in Denver?
--Ethan Sloan, El Centro, Calif.

I am pretty sure Shanahan will want to run the zone blocking scheme and have it led by an assistant like Alex Gibbs, Rick Dennison, or even Jeff Jagodzinski. Either way, the scheme works best when the linemen are leaner and quicker so that they can make the critical cut-off blocks on the backside of those runs that lead to the gaping holes.

Did you see this?

Sources: Buffalo Bills, Bill Cowher have 'stealth meeting' - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4792467)

Billick is meeting with the Bills as well this week

I think though that in the end the sleeper choice there will be Brian Schottenheimer

I think Billick would take it but I would be shocked if Cowher did.

Of all of the jobs that are potentially out there, Cowher wants Buffalo?

Charlie Casserly on CBS Pregame expects Mike Shanahan to be Skins Head Coach - Kyle Shanahan to be Off Coor & Mike Zimmer to be Def Coordinator..

According to pft, mort said the league is requiring the skins to interview a minority candidate again after Zorn is fired. This could delay things or create problems if no minority candidates agree to a sham interview. At this point, jerry likely knows he won't be retained in any capacity so I don't know what motivation he has to interview again.

This is complete and utter bullshit if this is true.

I'm still not 100% on Zimmer. I mean I think that may play out for a while while Zimmer sees what other opportunities may be out there

Kyle Shanahan for sure, he'll be on board probably at the end of the month
