Shanahan The New Head Coach Of the Redskins

Report: Mike Shanahan, Washington Redskins agree to contract - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4799532)

Its a done deal.

Jason Reid of the washington post says that these reports are premature and haven't been confirmed yet.

I think Snyder's statement that nobody is satisfied w/ the team's record over the last two years shows he has learned very little. Refresh my memory, was his team any good before he hired Zorn? The last decade of failure is Snyder's failure...he's got a few dopes fooled but the vast majority aren't ready to take him serious.

I hope Mike brings a passion to win and he and Allen make the football decisions while Snyder stays out of it. I think we'll only know if this is the MO in a couple years, based on the W-L record.

It's on NFL.com as well.

Welcome to the Shany! Let's see whats next.

glad its finally solved. it will be interesting to see who we retain, if anyone. im sure all of the offensive staff will be gone.

I too am excited to become the 2004-2008 Denver Broncos. May we have at least as much success as they did.

Im glad this is a done deal. The article also states that Shannahan will have the final say in football decisions. I don't see Shanny backing down to Snyder. The last guy that didn't back down was fired though. :)

Now the speculation can really begin!!

If so, the era of "The Rat" begins. By the way, ESPN news is confirming it as a 5 year contract and VP of operations title.
