It's official: Shanahan fired

"And the only thing Shanahan has to show for it, is a broken QB with dreadlocks."

The Redskins job is a desirable HC job insofar as getting a fat paycheck. I would pick any job over the Skins, well, maybe not the Raiders job.

How much impact do you guys think RG3 had on this decision? The guy left Redskins Park without speaking to the media and hasn't endorsed Shanahan like other players (Reed Doughty, Chris Neild, etc.) have done on twitter and in public.



Can we deem RG3 a "Coach Killer"? I really like the guy but I'm starting to see how he really is. Stubborn and doesn't like to be told what to do.


I was listening to 980 an hour ago and Kevin, and Tom where discussing Kirk Cousins interview about the coaching change. In the interview Kirk mentioned Roberts name as part of the coach hiring committee. I sure hope that isn't the case..

bs.

raiders, bills, lions, dolphins, bucs, cardinals, redskins = teams that have sucked for decades now.

I think lions fans are most heart broken. you have the best offensive weapon in c johnson, a highly drafted qb in stafford and an absolute beast in suh .... yet they still cant put it together. not to mention that city really needs something good to happen to them.... ouch. but i guess they are in the best position to break out of the loser pack i listed above.

The Redskins job is a desirable HC job insofar as getting a fat paycheck.

The location is a bonus, too. DC/Northern Virginia is a nice place to live if you have money.

Other than that...yeah. You'd have to be a brave soul to take the Redskins job right now with all the drama.

Cute. I look at it this way. Shannahan maybe done in DC, but he'll never have to pay for a beer in St Louis in appreciation for delivering the Rams the #2 overall pick in the draft.

And if the next HC does not do better than say 6-10 in 2014, they'll get another top 10 pick and Shannahan gets the key to the city.

sandtrap - i have stuck up for you in the past but i cant defend these comments or your timing given your absence from here during the season.

your better than this.

bs.


Kirk's statement is BS, or the fact they were talking about it?

Either you misheard something or someone doesn't know what the heck they are talking about.

It's become clear to me, and I think to a lot of people, that Shanahan was largely the beneficiary of coaching John Elway in his prime. If it wasn't for that he would have never been as successful as he was. I don't see him finding another job now.

I tend to disagree with that notion. Shanahan, from a pure coaching perspective (X's and O's, coaching guys to play above their normal threshold, etc) is a fantastic coach.

He calls a good game, plays the odds, and I've always respected his accomplishments on the field in a game. I think where he implodes is on any personnel decisions. That's why they gave him the boot in Denver, and ultimately why he has failed here in D.C.

Either way, he's gone. Good riddance. I'm not excited this go round for out coaching change. Quite frankly, I'm extremely pessimistic. I think there are some good choices out there (Jay Gruden HC, Raheem Morris DC, Hire a true GM), but I simply think we won't do it.
