Shanahan presser thread

Who was it that said Allen kinda sounds like Gruden? He sounds a lot like Gruden to me, he even has some of the same facial expressions when he talks. It's weird.

Thought this was good

D.C. Sports Bog - Shanahan enters, Snyder steps aside (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/01/shanahan_enters_snyder_steps_a.html)

And Snyder was like Obama thinking he could fix everything with money.

No, Snyder actually wants his team to WIN!

Alright sorry for making the reference to Cheany. I was just proposing the idea that the underling had more power and influence then the head guy. Please no more politics.

Maybe we'll get lucky and play Indy and GB after they have locked up #1 or #2 in their respective conferences. Maybe Minnesota will win the superbowl and Favre will retire. APs hit a wall and their offense will be nothing without Favre. Ok, i think that's enough optomism for me for one day...


Dude, seriously if you are this disgruntled with the Skins maybe you should jump on a current winning teams band wagon and then come back here in a year or two, damn

Anyone else find Shannahan's quote from Marty, in that he said "if you have a chance to work for Snyder, take it." surprising?

I have sirius and marty does a show on there and he has on many occasion been asked about snyder and has always said the same thing, he likes snyder and his passion but he loathes vinny and said snyders problem was vinny 100%. remember marty fired vinny.

Love it! HGTV & espn could simulcast: historic paint colors, colonial recipes & redskins training camp! The history channel could also get involved & talk about our name & the native americans down the road at Jamestown.

I'll be waiting w/pint in hand at the green leafe!
seriously wouldnt that be sweeeet! You remeber they had some talks with W&M a few years back but they declined the offer from snyder. oh well nice thought though.

just got home and saw the first visual footage of the presser, i really like the fact that snyder walked in with allen and shanny, shook shanny's hand and then took a set with the rest of the onlookers instead of sitting up there with them, maybe he is finilly getting it, i sure hope so

side note i'm in love with shanny after his first refernce to snyder was "dan"

gonna be a good offseason can't wait to see the team grow in the next few years HTTR!!!

I think a lot of us are forming our opinion of Snyder based on speculation. We don't know the full extent of his involvement when it came to hiring coaches and bringing in players. I'm sure that he will allow Shanahan and Allen to run this football team. These are guys are great football minds. Why does everyone assume that Snyder will interfere with them running our football team?

Because that's what he's always done in the past and we know old habits are hard to break. We all want to feel the way you suggest and hope him stepping back will be the case, but many are not throughly convinced mainly because his track record so far has not shown that to be true. Therefore, there are still some content to take the wait and see attitude.

Very weird. You would think they had hung out together all their life or were related.
