Whilw we're at it, let's blow up FedEx field.

Yup and let's go back to RFK and wear the Gold Pants with the Burgundy tops and the Helmet with the Spear on it but only during games that start at 1:00 and the date is completely divisible but 5 because that's how many letters are in the name Cooke !

Oh yeah and Dan Snyder has to sell the team and sell it to John Kent Cooke for 6 dollars but then donate that money to The Washington Post !

Yea, we should make it a rule that the Redskins get a new coach every year.

From this moment on, I am turning over a new leaf.

Same here, some things aren't even worth validating with a response.

i think andy reid went from position coach to head coach. some guys can do it and i though mike s. was going to be a great hc. i think his old school ways kind of did him in. all that getting in the players faces and berating them doesn't work in todays nfl. also i remember reading that his practices were a mess. very unorganized and messy. john gruden will be their next head coach.

He has been only out of coaching 1 year, unlike Gibbs who was out 12 years.

I truly understand where everyone is coming from, because there is no stability here. But Honestly Do you all think Shanahan will be here for over 3 years??? No.. With the talent this team has, we will continue to be an under .500 team for the next couple of years. And if you think Danny Boy is just gonna sit and let that happen. Whew, yall have something coming. As the stadium continues to have more and more empty seats due to the losing season. Danny Boy will make a splash move to get people back in the seats.

Diehard I understand where you are coming from but I believe you are contradicting yourself. It seems that you were saying that Shanahan should watch his backe because he hasn't done much besides sign Torrain and that you feel that the game has passed him by.

Then you say that Dan Snyder will not sit and let the team play sub .500 ball. So which is it ? Or are you one of those fans that really needs and wants that splash so that you can care again, but just can't admit it ?

Shanahan signed a 5 year deal, I expect he will be here for at least that long. I don't think he came back for a quick hitter.

Ok, Since Snyder has owned the team, when has he let a coach continue to keep the skins under .500? Shanahan is not going to be the savior all redskins fans are looking for. Reasons I say he must go, What goes thru his mind thinking he can have Grossman. That was definitely a Kyle move. There are so many things that he has done here in one year that it explains why he was fired in Denver. As far as being a fan, all this drama that has occured in the past 3 years, I am completely tired of all the big splash crap that has been going on in this organization.

[Jontrem]

Shanahan better be here for the entire 5 years. I really cant take any more "change" we need some consistency more than anything else.

[MTK]

Gibbs was under .500 for his 2nd stint here, and DS would have let him continue on and heck he wanted to sign him on for an extension.

So were you fine with Zorn as the HC ? Say Snyder went out and found some young guy and we are at 6-9 with that coach, would you be here calling for his head ? Only masking it with Snyders name ? Dude, we were OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS when they made the move to Grossman. WHAT IF they are saving McNabb for next year. Seeing what they have in Grossman as a #2 ? Who knows. It is Mikes first year here, give him the patience that you have wanted for all of the 3 years that you have suffered. So what who's move it was, we as fans bitched and moaned about Coaches being able to make decisions because we say that Snyder is doing it all so let the coaches do their job. So I guess you didn't like that McNabb splash either ? You should be happy with a lesser known, lesser hyped QB in Grossman shouldn't you ? Less of a splash wouldn't you think ?

Tough situations for Singletary to inherit but he made a good run lack of QB play really hurt but that team is underachieving they are young and likely to make it a run for the division nest year b/c Hasselback isnt getting any younger and the cards are dismantling just leaves Stl.
