Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I think we have a good shot at beating Carolina. 4-5 at the bye wouldn't be so bad.

Do you realize where our offense ranks? Not sure how you can talk about lack of productivity. Today was apparently a off day for all of our WRs. Probably why Kyle ended up running a screen for Paulsen. He was the best out there today.

RG- 3 / Morris/ oline. Can you honestly say Hank or Robinson have anything to do with that? Garcon certainly doesnt he is hurt. Morgan? Moss has been pretty decent but the wr's havent exactly carried our offense NC.
Edit: i did not mean lack of productivity from the offense i meant strictly from the wr's.

Yeah Snyder fires him at midseason. Are you thinking before typing this?

He is asking for opinions and threw that out there as an option - its a pretty open ended question. You should share your thoughts on your opinion of Shannys job security.

If Shannahn doesnt workout, what coach would or could you see with the skins in the future with RG III?

I don't think firing him during the season would help. I don't even know if he should be fired after the season. I don't know, I really wanna give the guy the benefit of the doubt but I'm seeing very little in the way of whole team improvement. The team is practically the same as last year except now we actually have a quarterback. It's like throwing a new gloss of paint on an old shitty car; It looks nice at first but then you realize it's still your same old shitty car.

Or a new coat of paint on section 8 housing. Inside, It might have a 70 inch LED 3dtv (RG3), but you're still in downtown detroit. Our defense would be the crumbling foundation, and the old lead based paint chips falling off all over the place. Of course our corners would be the overflowed toilet, and our safeties would be the rat and squirrel droppings in the dark dank corners.

(I don't know why I just typed that, I just kept going, just like the vast majority of my posts........)

Shanahan deserves time now that he has RG3, you can't just give up on him after he gets a rookie QB; plus it hurts our rookies progression. Shanahan is smart by buying himself some time by drafting RG3. If shanahan doesn't help this team in terms of wins next year, he'll definitely be a fired candidate. But I believe, and I hope Snyder has learned (plus Snyder went to great lengths to get Mike to coach this team) that you need to give a coach time to get his team together. Now that Mike has his QB, his time is starting now.

I agee. He needs at least one more year.

If i compare his drafts to years gone by ( outside of RG-3 - even Vinny couldnt have missed on that - rite?) i see alot of quanity and a little quality. In the past we had zero quanity and a little quality. Samuels, lavar, cooley, rak, jansen, etc. We would fill our team with veterans, now we fill them with young guys - but i think alot are misses. There has to be a happy medium between quality and quantity.

I understand what you're saying. My point was more about continuity with the coaching staff/front office (the thread is about whether or not Shanny should be fired, which is what I was trying to disagree with here). Check who the coaches/front office staffs were who drafted Jansen, Lavar, Rak and Cooley. Off the top of my head I believe it's three different coaches...that's my only point.

It was sarcasm... I couldn't care less if they fire him or not. The Skins will never be a great team. Well not for a long time anyway...

Exactly, its going to take at least another 4 or 5 years until we are playoff ready. It takes time to build a winner. The past 3 years have been the PRE-rebuilding phase. Fans just need to shut the phuck up and be patient. Jeezus christ. It takes a long time to get above .500, even with an ALL UNIVERSE quarterback. DUH. Shanahan will turn us into a perennial contender, just you wait and see (4-5 years). Mike Shanahan has lost his edge (Elway), so its just gonna take him a while to get it back. Thats all..........





/sarcasm

Mike Shanahan has absolutely disappointed, and I believe no longer is qualified to coach any team. His successes this season are completely attributed to Robert Griffin, just as the defense being completely run into the ground, burnt up, then defecated on can be directly attributed to him. I don't know what its going to take to prove the game has passed his geriatric ass by, but sorry to say it has. Denver fired his ass for a reason, we were just so desperate for a good coach, we thought that we could put some good pieces around him, and waalaah, at least have an 8-8 team. Guess we were very wrong. I just hope we cut bait after THIS season, instead of giving him and Haslett one more year of stunted progression. (Other than RG3, regression might actually fit better as the term there.)

Our new coaching staff should be:
HC-Sam Huff
OC-Sonny
DC-Larry Michael
ST-randle el

I'm a little surprised that Fire has only three votes (for the record, I'm on the fence), because it's a private poll. Not surprised that "No" is in the lead.

How many of you would extend Mike Shanahan's contract today? I'd have to assume between 50-70%...otherwise it would suggest that people are more scared of the alternatives than supporting the status quo.
