I like Shanahan as our coach, but I don't think much better of him. He still is showing his arrogance every so often whether its how he views his team, how he treats his players, or how he deals with the media.

I will say that he is light years beyond what we've had compared to Zorn (although the win record doesn't show it, which still concerns me). He is somewhat comparable to Gibbs in his second stint, but Shanahans going to be here in the long run, I believe, whereas Gibbs just wanted to be with us for a few years to make us relevant and get a little cash on the side along with getting Snyder to stop blowing up his phone about coming out of retirement and coaching again.

I will say though that I'm also upset with Shanahan in the sense that you see bad teams in the league become good overnight just by the coaching change. Perfect example is San Fran. 6-10 in 2010, to 13-3 the next year. Showing that yes, if you get the right coach you can become good just like that. Shanahan bought himself sometime by drafting RG3. But he can't keep giving excuses or trying to sell us on old players or piss poor starters are 'capable of winning.'

I just feel like Gary Kubiak is the reason for both Shanahan's success in this league (and John Elway). Kyle is just streaky as a play caller. He was great in Houston then comes here has problems with McNabb, endorses Beck, and now we're left with a still overrated OC. He better make RG3 good or else he'll be gone next year.

1 thing I do Love what Shanahan does is he's patient with the draft and FA and is a man with a plan. He doesn't pull the trigger on any player or offer Vinny Cerratto amounts of picks or money either. Perfect example is the other day. KS said he'd like to have Steve Slaton if he was available. Dolphins wanted AA and a pick for Slaton. Cerratto would have given them a 7th rounder and AA. Instead we waited, didn't budge, and low and behold, we cut AA and they cut slaton, we could have lost a pick if it wasn't for this smart regime.
