It's like taking your family member off life support. The family member in this case being the team.

Now let's make a smart hire that will finally right the ship after 20+ years.

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.

Re: It's official: Shanahan fired

Now to the issue of who will fill Shanahan's empty chair. We desperately need, for once, to make a smart HC choice.

This all day. The FO Structure of a separate GM and Head Coach needs to be propped up and utilized in the next regime.

The next few days of sports talk in the DC area will be stellar to listen to.

Bruce Allen is meeting with staff 1 on 1.

I hope they keep Bobby Turner and Sean McVay
