Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

I will say this for Shannahan, if he does get fired today. The team as a whole is in a much better position talent wise than we were 5 years ago. I do think he has made alot of mistakes with coaching positions and schemes, but talent wise you have to give them credit there..... I did not like us losing some of our guys to other teams, but we are better off than we were 5 years ago.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;1051908]99% of the locker room wants him back according to Trent Williams. Fletcher, who's not going to be here anyways, has publically pleaded for him to stay. I'd love if we signed him to an extension. In five years, you'll all be bashing Snyder for allowing a diva qb and his dad to run an excellent coach out of town. I'd love for mike shanahan to stay (not Kyle) but there is zero chance of that happening.[/quote]

If true then why fire the man the players want to play for ,if the cap truly is the problem then the man deserves another year .

Because this is a marketing organization that owns a football team and it's hard to market a 3-13 team that kept its coach. On to a new marketing strategy for 2014.

That's just players being politically correct. They are saying what is expected of them to say. If the players want the coach so bad why don't they play for him better and execute his so called good schemes. Look at the results, this is the NFl you perform like Shanny performed and your're gone. You should know that Sally.

I know that Nancy and so does MS, he said as much. I think Shanny should go but that doesn't change the fact that the Skins are marketing first football second.

I agree with you on that one.

Mike ran himself out of town with a 24-40 record.

Players will almost always back the HC publicly. I don't put any stock in what they're saying right now. They're just worried about covering their own asses.

Shanahan is at Redskins Park meeting with Snyder now.

24-41. I know we all wish that game never happened, but he went 0-1 in the playoffs, 24-40 was regular season.

And I agree, players will say anything now, who knows where they will be next year, they don't wanna burn any bridges.

I think inheriting the mess he did from cerrato and zorn The first two years, and then having no cap room to sign players to make the team better the next two more than explain the record. There's not a coach in the league that could have been successful under those circumstances.

He's moving into a career in broadcasting. He's also a class act, I wouldn't expect him to have anything negative to say.

You giver Shannhan more consideration than RG3. RG3 gets no excuses and Shannahan gets many excuses. Thou art using a double standard.
