NFL Coaching Rumors and Moves

He'll sit out the year and wait for next year when someone comes crawling for his services.

Well if we don't finish at least 8-8 we all know shanny will be on the hotseat

I would give Shanahan 2 more years.

Agreed, although if he pulls stupid stuff like this year, it'd be hard to keep him for a third year. Although I really hope this doesn't happen, I hope that we turn it around this year.

I think he already asserted himself and let everyone know who's the boss.

Well that's great, but it gave us a shitty season. We have a lot of rebuilding to do, but it would be nice to see the team play well and for the team to avoid more drama between the coach and the players and to be competitive against teams instead of getting a beating like we got against the Eagles. Hopefully MS is done showing off who's the boss, and he can focus on improving this team.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Fire Haslett, hire Fisher. Haynesworth becomes defensive MVP. Super Bowl!!!
It's highly doubtful that he'll take a coordinator position

Eagles already got Washburn as DC. Something smells rotten in Tenn. I think the owner is really pissed at him and waited till all the openings were filled before firing him.

Washburn is the Eagles d-line coach. The d-coordinator job is still open.

There was no way this Redskins team was going to be a playoff bound team from the get go. MS was/is the type of coach that all of us were begging to have, and now it seems like fans are complaining because he wants to have control of his team. Dysfunction begets a dysfunctional team. Discipline begets a disciplined team that wins more often than they lose.

Think of it like this. If a mechanic wants to rebuild an engine, he doesn't just simply add parts to it that he needs, he takes the engine apart, tests parts that he thinks works, gets the parts that he needs to replace, puts it together, and then tweaks it until he knows it working in unison with the other mechanical parts of the car. That's pretty much what Mike had to do this year. He's in the taking things apart and testing each piece deal. Next year, he knows a little more about what he needs and hopefully once he gets the pieces in place (which might take a couple more seasons,) he should then have a team that just takes a few tweaks here and there, but is ready to compete.

I agree and was going to say the exact same thing but you beat me to it. I've come to the realization that the NFL is just like politics. No matter who is in power there are always going to be supporters and detractors. You are not going to be able to please everyone all the time.

I am also surprised by the number of people dumping on Shanny so soon. Yeah he didn't make some of the best calls, but when you are dealing with an ass clown like Haynesworth its not an easy situation to deal with. Things will get better... If people who are hating on Shanny already think Zorn or even Gibbs 2.0 could do a better job they need to start following a different sport.

Well, I'll say this about Gibbs 2.0. For the mess that the Redskins were in before he came back, he did a great job with getting the team to two playoff appearances in four years. yeah, he had two losing seasons, but that was by far a lot better job than what we had witnessed with previous coaches. Personally, if not for age, Gibbs the second time around would have eventually built a great team, but I think he realized he wasn't going to be around past his initial contract, so he wanted to put together a team he felt could win right away.

As far as Zorn, he just was not given a chance to succeed. A great opportunity, but not one that he would have been very successful with.
