It's official: Shanahan fired

Burns officially fired.

thank the lord

Who is the weakest NFL head coach still employed at the moment? Schiano? Garrett? Seems like the NFL has done a leaguewide purge of the my-way loser coaches. Redskins finally decided to join the party today.

Well, back to square one now. Oh well. As far as the assistant coaches go, doesn't matter who we keep for now or who we let go, I expect the new coach will make final decisions as to who is on his staff.

Garrett and Schwartz by far

I'm glad to see Danny eating that last 7 million dollars. How long til the Shanahan apologists come trolling in and start blaming Snyder for being an awful owner?

He hasn't always made the best decisions but dude wants to win, period.

Snyder is not w/out blame here. Obviously he did some things that undermined his head coach.

Closer to $13M for the whole staff, and another $10M or so to hire a new one. That's a lot of cheddar.

Garrett and Schwartz by farSchwartz is a meh coach.

I'd milk one more year out of him in 2014. You can still try to sell the 2011 playoff appearance to the fan base. If you wait until after 2014 to change coaches, you're one year closer to getting out of cap hell. If you change coaches now, it's auto failure for the next guy. Stafford isn't an NFL quarterback.

Exact same situation in Dallas with Garrett, except that I feel his decision making is actively part of the problem. Dallas can milk a rebuilding year out of him, but they have to change before they compete.

Absolutely. MS was the established pro coach the team thought it needed after the Zorn mess. Unfortunately the owner is still involved in draft decisions and being players buddies. Until that changes this team will continue to be a joke.

I don't know if anything I can say to make you understand that Shannhan drafted RG3 to save his hide. Shannahan had complete control of personnel. All decisions were Shannhan's. Owners always have relationships with their super stars. To say Dan should not speak to RG3 is crazy.
