It's official: Shanahan fired

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.

According to Shannahan.

- Tied worst record (3-13) in team history (1994).
- Most points allowed in team history (478). Beat previous record by 46 points.
- 4th worst point differential in team history (-144), worst since 1961.
- Longest losing streak (8) in over 50 years.

What a waste of 4 years. Good riddance. F the Shannys.

you dont go 3-13 in this glorious train wreck fashion without fault at every level from owner to coach to player to ball boy imo.

i personally am not interested in trying to figure out what percent of the FU pie each deserves. they all get to eat shit in my humble opinion.

- Tied worst record (3-13) in team history (1994).
- Most points allowed in team history (478). Beat previous record by 46 points.- 4th worst point differential in team history (-144), worst since 1961.
- Longest losing streak (8) in over 50 years.

What a waste of 4 years. Good riddance. F the Shannys.

Wow. Just wow.

Better days ahead.

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.

I think he showed himself to be an incredibly bad in-game coach for us personally.

Don't worry, I fixed it.

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.

Not to mention...there are only 32 of these jobs in the world.
