If Shanny's Not Your Man, Then What Is Your Plan?

well, if our entire team were RGIIIs and STs, that'd actually work really well.

sadly, the reality is a bit different.

Where did you get the idea that if a fan advocates that Shanahan be replaced, that he should have a plan to fix everything after Shanahan is gone?

A fan doesn't need to have the answers in order to clearly see the problem. Shanahan has quit on the season and I, for one, don't want a quitter for a Head Coach. I know he tried to back off of his post game remarks but I don't believe he misspoke.

Also, he regularly blames his players while defending his coaches which apparently has caused some resentment among the players. Some players have been courageous enough to speak up about the intractability of Jim Haslett, in particular. Surely, there are more players who believe that they alone are being blamed for what is wrong with the team. If so, I'm sure they would view that as unfair to them. In short, I think that he has probably lost the locker room.

Not to mention that the fans need only look at Shanahan's win/loss record as the Head Coach of the Redskins to figure out that he hasn't exactly set the NFL on fire.

Personally, I'm just about done with Shanahan. As I said above, I don't think I need to know how to fix the Redskins in order to justify my having that opinion. If Dan Snyder decides that Shanahan should go, then it's his job to figure out what to do next.

So your saying I just want him gone and I dont have a clue about who we should bring in. Nice

No, not common sense because I'm not a professional football executive and I'm not qualified to figure out the solution.

Your right your just a fan who wants to fire a coach every 2 or 3 years and wonder why we have been a big shit show for the last decade.

I like the thread paintrain and its funny that all the Shanny haters could not come up with a solid plan to replace him. Its easy to say fire a coach but when things are not going well. We need to stop having knee jerk reactions when the team loses. Hey we have a ton of injuries and a rookie qb that is a difference maker. Look every one is on the Colts bandwagon cause they have a winning record now. Tell who have they played this year. Their schedule is garbage but hey they are winning against bad teams so I give them some props. As for the Redskins we need to learn how to have a home field advantage thats the most disappointing thing about this team is our poor home record. Damn are our fans that bad we can't win at home. Im supporting Shanny and I know he wil turn this thing around.

If there's a college i like, it would be Stanford's David Shaw. He's was flying low under the radar, Stanford beating Oregon just put him into the spotlight. Last year he had Andrew Luck. This year they lost many key players from last year, including making a QB switch 2 weeks ago.

Shaw does have a history with Allen. He's a great guy

History shows that college coaches (with no NFL background) simply do not do well in the league. Different game. The only college coach that's been successful has been Jimmy Johnson. Even then, he couldn't duplicate that success at Miami. Even the "great" Nick Saban was a bust in the NFL.

He hasn't won anything yet really but SFRedskin would respond with "Two Words: Jim Harbaugh"

Shaw has some history with the Eagles..Raiders and Ravens.

You are right!! Shaw has proven this year that he can win on his own without Harbaugh. Last year he inherited an excellent team (2 players from that team were drafted in the 1st round and 2 in the 2nd). This year he had to fill many holes, switched to a new QB 2 weeks ago, a redshirt freshman (Kevin Hogan) and beat #2 ranked Oregon in Oregon and held them to 14 pts. As for being ready for the NFL, I would give him one more year, but would put him under consideration. By the way, he has been an NFL assistant for 9 years before going back to college.
