Re: Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?
 

I heard a rumor that the Denver owner admitted making a mistake when he fired Shanahan and now wants him back. Then I heard this morning about the rift between Snyder and Shanahan. Could Shanahan be trying to worm his way out of his contract as HC of the Redskins? This could seriously upset Snyder, and I wouldn't blame him for being upset. Everyone jumps and concludes that it's Snyder's fault, when in fact it may be more of a problem with what Shanahan is doing. Personally I would tie a bow around both Shanahans and ship them back to Denver, along with Jim Haslett!

Re: Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?
 

Until Shannahan shows me something other than another year we're not in the playoffs, I will continue to be dismayed. Although, I will gain a lot of confidence in him if he drafts the right QB. If he screws that, I'm finished with him.

Mike Shanahan working for John Elway? Not gonna happen.

[quote=firstdown;776801]Right Coles. You can say it was all GW but at the time he was the face of the team so DS let it go on and backed GW.[/quote]

So Snyder SHOULD HAVE meddled in personnel?!

Re: Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?
 

What I have heard is that Snyder was "less than happy" with the contract extension given to McNabb in light of the "messy divorce" that went down just a few weeks later.

That does not translate into a rift between Shanahan and Snyder - - but it does mean that the coach and the owner were not on the same page on at least one significant issue in the 2010 season. And that issue cost the owner a couple of million bucks...

Do not discount the sources of Jason LaCanfora or Jason Reid when it comes to getting inside info on the Redskins. They may not always report stories that fans want to hear - - but it does not mean they are wrong or that they are "making stuff up". Both guys are competent reporters/journalists.

And I am sure he, his 2 SB rings, his hot wife and his millions of dollars will be [I]deeply[/I] dismayed to learn they have lost your confidence.

And what did all of that get us? A 6-10 season.

First year, coming off a 4-12 season with what seems to be one of the easiest schedules in all of football (Faced 5 teams that drafted in the top 10 in 2009 as well as the Chargers in week 17), going into a year where they had to go against one of the toughest schedule's they've had in a while.

Not to mention a team that was learning a new offense and new defense.

I mean what did you expect was going to happen?

If Snyder is hell bent on keeping this franchise in perpetual disarray, and Shanahan is fired (to the delight of many, it appears), then it'll be interesting to see if the next coach is held to the same impossible standards.

It's going to be extremely difficult for any coach who comes here, having to deal with the unrealistic expectations of both the owner and the fan.

For years now we've heard the complaints about a meddlesome owner who lacked the patience necessary to see anything through. It's gotten to the point now where it's a toss-up between the owner and the fans as to who is lacking in patience.

Re: Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?
 

The fans are clearly in the lead when it comes to pure lunacy. Just the thought of wanting to get rid of Shanahan right now is laugh out loud hilarious.

Re: Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?
 

I had better not hear another fan moan and complain about Daniel Snyder and then say in the same breath that they want to see Mike Shanahan out of Washington after one season. You are the ones delusional.

Well when you sweat blood for a team that can put both Albert Haynesworth and Donovan McNabb on the bench in the same season, it's no wonder some of us fans are loony.

That scenario would not happen on any other team in the NFL.

Other teams don't bench guys eh?
