It's official: Shanahan fired

Since we're cleaning house can we fire the strength and conditioning coach? Look at all these f'ing people on IR!

57 Nick Sundberg LS (IR)
41 Phillip Thomas SS (IR)
25 Chris Thompson RB (IR)
90 Doug Worthington DE (IR)


and fire Niles Paul too!!!

This just in. Kyle Orton caught trying on Tony Romo's panty hose.

Good one! :laughing2

And they fit nicely, too. I could hardly tell the difference between them.

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.

He's doing a conference call right now, he thanked Shanahan for drafting him, said he learned a lot from him, and that he's looking forward to a new year.

Did he forget to take away TJ's bong?

One thing Ill take away from this season is the fact Skins knocked out Romo for the season effectively knocking them out the playoffs for a second year in a row

Great point! Thanks for the sunshine on a cloudy day.

You on drugs???

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.

This. Elway has had success without Shanny. Shanny is a loser.

Well I counted up all the people on IR

We only lost out to the Bucs. Aw. We can't even win the injury race.

What's a better alternative? You have the 2012 ROY at QB, the league leader in receptions, a 1600 yard rusher, one of the best Left Tackles in the league, a promising young Tight End, a roster that just won the division last year, a division that is the worst in the league, and the best CAP situation in the NFC.

These men aren't babies. They aren't going to be scared off by Snyder. That's an average Joe fan illusion.

Or you could look at it this way. You have to work for an owner who pals around w/ the QB, you have two young QB's and don't know if either are the long term future, one of which might be hard to coach, 2-3 starters need to be replaced on the o-line, need another wr or two, TE can't stay on the field, no pass rush, no safties, no MLB and no first round pick. This isn't one of the top jobs anymore. The Lions job is better job than this one.
