I don't have a strong opinion on either the validity or impact of this article, so I'm just going to leave it here for Gameday reading. Beat the Chiefs, PLZ.
Mike Shanahan was ready to quit Washington Redskins after 2012 season - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10101919/mike-shanahan-was-ready-quit-washington-redskins-2012-season)

There is probably some truth to this story. It is well known that Snyder likes to pal around with certain players. To me it is so unprofessional for the owner to do such things. From what I've heard, Snyder was the one wanting RG3 to play the first few weeks, while Shanahan wanted to hold him out.

SPONTANEOUS STRONG EMOTIONAL OPINION ALERT
No sympathy here from me for Shanahan. The owner was a known farce when you accepted the job, a job you accepted because 1) it paid more, and 2) you thought it would be easier to win, than the other jobs would be out here. Then you go and trade for a star quarterback and are SHOCKED when the owner (who has a history of doing this) buddies up to him.
Just leave, Mike Shanahan. Don't ever come back.

I think if Shanny is not fired after the season ends he will leave... He will not get an extension...

I believe this story. See past examples Clinton Portis and Lavar Arrington.
RG3 better realize that Snyder will turn on him just as quick.

True but what if it was Snyder that was pushing for the trade? Rumors keep popping up that Shanahan wanted Tannehill and keep the picks.

Mike is done here and that was obvious after the whole off season RG3 tension going around. Honestly it doesn't surprise me , this organization is a joke and always has some stupid drama going on smh

Rumors keep popping up that Shanahan wanted Tannehill and keep the picks.While I doubt Shanahan was the number one voice in the building in favor of the RG3 trade, he wanted a slow rebuild under Tannehill about as much as he wanted to jam an ice pick in his eye. He had to win in 2012 or not only would he have lost his job here, he wouldn't have found anyone else willing to offer.
Given that he sees himself as still employable in the NFL, I think he should be really thankful he got that trade done. Saved his career. Meanwhile, the jury is still out on the quality of the trade for the Redskins organization. Shanahan won it personally when he won the NFC East.

Speaking of f-ing farces: It takes five years to rebuild a team. Unless I decide theres something I don't like in the organization after year three. Then it can't be salvaged.
What a loser.
