Other than that...yeah. You'd have to be a brave soul to take the Redskins job right now with all the drama.

And if the next HC does not do better than say 6-10 in 2014, they'll get another top 10 pick and Shannahan gets the key to the city.

sandtrap - i have stuck up for you in the past but i cant defend these comments or your timing given your absence from here during the season.

your better than this.

Either you misheard something or someone doesn't know what the heck they are talking about.

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.

Again, go to the audio vault and listen. I'm sure I'm not the only one that heard them talking about it. It was around 1:30.

i honestly am not sure if i would have a problem with this. i want to build around rg3. at least for the next 3 years or so and if things dont work at that point then id assume rg3 and the coach handpicked to suit rg3 would be gone.

from a lockeroom standpoint it might not be good and certainly would be claimed as the main reason why things failed if it didnt work out in the end.

winning cures all.

just win baby!

seriously, i dont care how or who.

if it requires a coach willing to scheme exclusively towards the one player on offense who touches the ball every time .. i am all for it. if it works, no one will say shit.

It could have been a dig at Robert from Kirk, but either way he said 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.
