You really think a franchise will offer him an HC job anytime soon?

[quote=Bucket;963942]No because the economy sucking and the unemployment being high is actually facts.. There is numbers and stats behind it.

I've seen this before on different scales around the league. People here something, and then assume it's right and then spread it around for a little jest.

Ill start believing a rumor when it's not a RUMOR :) Till then, i'm just going to enjoy the game this Sunday and the rest of the season.[/quote]
Well I guess the difference is I believe what this LL dude is reporting is true. Partly..because what he is saying doesn't seem that farfetched considering the way we've been playing and previous reports about Hasletts relationship with Fletch among others...and a big part has to do with Smoots opinion of this guy. As far as numbers...3-6...losing to the 1-6 Panthers at home etc. Those are my reasons for regarding his statements more than "rumors". On that note... I hope we both enjoy the game Sunday. :)

Im pretty sure that nobody would be happy with loses. I dont doubt that people are unhappy with Shanahan and Haslett because I am too, but hes not getting fired at the end of the year. He said 5 years and its been 2.5. I want to win too but when you tell a guy hes allowed this much time then try to shit on his face because hes not there yet..

Well its just typical Redskins nation.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

Mike Lombardi sure didn't sound optimistic about the skins on the radio blog. Future looks bleak due to cap space and the amount of holes to fix.

Who said anything about him getting fired?

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

[quote=The Goat;964006]Sorry but that's just ridiculous. Three years is a lifetime in the NFL and everyone knows Mike's record here is abysmal. He's even seen as an expensive joke, which is worse than the simple joke I've been calling him lol.

To the contrary, showing Shanny the door indicates a franchise serious about getting on the right track and winning. And RG3 will attract coaching talent regardless. [B]In fact I think potential HCs will jump at the opportunity, exactly the opposite what you believe.[/B][/quote]

Actually I never stated my belief in whether a coach would want to come here or not, but since you asked (not really but dickishly implying you knew my opinion on the matter will suffice), I think there are a ton of coaches who would embrace coaching this team. Snyder's money, coaching in a major market, the ability to coach RG3, the landscape of the division (2 declining & aging teams, 1 consistently mediocre team) and the rare opportunity to be an NFL head coach isn't something many would turn down.

What I believe is that Snyder is not going to make a move at the head coaching position this year absent us losing the remainder of our games in a devastating manner. As much as you're gonna hate it, a rookie QB, a young roster and major injuries to key personnel will be more than enough to buy MS another season (at least) at the helm.

[quote=SmootSmack;964097]Who said anything about him getting fired?[/quote]

Some are wanting it that way. Sorry, I might of worded my sentence a bit wrong. I wasn't assuming he's getting fired. I was responding to the 35 pages of the same people who want him to BE fired.. I'm just trying to inform them that in my opinionated and most excellent professional response.. That he wont be fired.

There... That's better

Hey new topic. Do you think the insiders at ESPN and NFLN know about the strife within the Redskins organization? If so, why don't they report it?

I'm not suggesting they should, in fact I wouldn't agree with it, but still curious...if you feel like sharing :)

Alright I'm admittedly confused. What were you referring to or implying with respect to replacing Shanahan?

...and I'm not a d!ck, I'm an a$$hole, you pu$$y :D

Sorry, wrong side.

Your implication that I believed nobody would want to come here to coach is incorrect. I believe he won't get fired but that has nothing to do with the allure of our job.

I had made a comment about Snyder staying out of football issues with the current regime and he Pain said "not if he fires Shanny after year three". Which might or might not be true depending on how they spin it. Anyway i believe that is where the confusion started.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

So to fully clarify:
I think if Shanny is fired it will be perceived as 'same old Redskins/meddling Snyder.
If that happens, it won't deter anyone from seriously considering the head coaching job.

I hate bye weeks.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

On last night's blogtalk radio, they were saying Haslett and Slowick are gone when the season ends. The possible DC candidates (if they get fired by their current teams) are Rivera or Crennel. Most preferred Rivera.

Rivera would be awesome. Shanny gonna depart from Slowick? That would be great, Slowick been with him a pretty long time.

The guys on the show ripped Slowick
Saying the LB's have regressed because of his shitty coaching (especially Riley). They said he couldn't even coach a high school team.

Crennel and Rivera are interesting choices. Hadn't heard any Crennel rumors myself.

I've heard people talk about Rivera but not to any extent that I took it seriously. I myself hadn't heard anything really concrete that would indicate the Redskins are interested.

So these guys have different info, but I trust it.

Names I've heard are a bit more obscure, so maybe the names I've head are the backup choices.

Im fine with anybody as long as they dont look so God damned confused on TV. Ugghh.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

I think they have regressed. The Lbacking corps were a bright spot I thought at the beginning of the year. Now....not so much. And I don't think it's the players. I think it's gonna be a pretty good group.

Space Odyssey.

I think sometimes people confuse their opinions with "inside info". They may just be talking about the different prospects that could potentially be out there. Now, when they start mentioning "I'm hearing" or name off some obscure name, chances are that's the real intel.

I haven't had a chance to hear last nights podcast, but I'll be happy with anybody but Haslett or Morris.

Rivera was inside info from them, think Romeo may have been too

[quote=The Goat;963309]If Shanahan said this or anything like it publicly Snyder needs to fire him immediately, as a matter of principle.

No link; it's a paid download. I love PFW, but you have to pay $4.99 to see story.

Nice article. I question a lot of the decisions Shanahan has made in terms of personnel. Hankerson, Aldrick Robinson, Roy Helu Jr., and Dennis Morris should have never been drafted. After drafting Kerrigan and Jenkins last year, none of the stockpiled picks haven't panned out.

I like those picks, except for the Dennis Morris pick. They were low round picks except for Hank and Helu, I still think they will pan out.
