Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

How do you know? Ive heard inside sources say he has

I assume you are being funny.

UUmm...no

DONT YOU QUESTION ME!!!!! Seriously though, to an extent I feel he has. I mean Lorenzo wasn't too happy about his comments, and according to reports he isn't the only one pissed about it. Look at the penalties we're racking up? The outburst by players? I don't know. Just doesn't seem like a smart coached team at the moment IMO.

Wheels are coming off.

From frequent Shanahan critic Jason Reid, Mike Shanahan deserves a chance to build upon RGIII foundation - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/mike-shanahan-deserves-a-chance-to-build-upon-rgiii-foundation/2012/11/06/23012622-281e-11e2-96b6-8e6a7524553f_story.html)

Fair points, I'd have to agree

You nailed it

If you were paying attention you could. The Niners were a 'sleeping giant' for years out west. Remember, most pundits picked them to win the West the year Singletary crapped the bed with them. They had talent but needed it to come together. Can you say we've had comparable talent? Really? No other team has completely remade their roster and had fast success.

So based on you rattling off Harbaugh, Coughlin, Belichick, Smith all of the 'good coaches' are you implying that any of them would be winning with our current roster (and injuries) AND that talent is secondary to coaching ability?

Many considered the skins a sleeping a giant. We were always in games but because of questionable coaching and the lack of a QB we couldn't win. We have the QB and now we are still losing. Yes I believe a better coach would build a team that would show a lot more progress than we have had the past three years. Coughlin took the Jaguars to the playoffs multiple times, the giants were not "talented" until he took over, same thing with Belichick with the Patriots and Smith with the Falcons. Part of being a great coach is getting the best out of the talent you have.

Who considered us a sleeping giant in 2010? C'mon dude, we were a well earned laughingstock.

Agreed, we are still losing. Understand we are missing our #1 WR, our #1 TE, our starting RT, best pass rusher, starting DE and both projected starting safeties. Do you think any of those would make a difference in our record or it is all on Shanahan the coach?

Do you distinguish between the coach and the GM? I give the GM a 5 for roster composition but the coach an 8 for us being competitive in each game. Even the Steeler game if we execute we are in the game. The last 3 games have been crippled by turnovers (NYG), dropped passes (PIT), penalties (CAR) and blown assignments/missed tackles (ALL). We've had 3 TD taken off the board by penalties in those games. Think those are on the coaches ability to get the best out of the talent you have? Those end up on the coach because he has to get them to execute but do you think the players are not put in position to make winning plays?
