Anyone BUT Shanahan and his cronies, relations etc.

The man has won one playoff game in soon to be fifteen seasons of coaching. That sucks, but people still talk about him like he won his two SBs last year.

Some are assuming he'll make some good FA moves, sign people, etc with all this money the Redskins are allegedly going to spend to buy a champion. But people forget other teams will have money too, and they don't have the legacy of utter dysfunction that this team does now. Oh they might come here since the Redskins also are well known for throwing millions at any shiny toy Danny wants...but I bet most want to go somewhere more reliable and that isn't in turmoil.

Besides...will new players stop the rash of all the usual Shanahan hallmarks? Teams being unprepared. Players racking up tons of killer stupid penalties, especially the personal fouls, unsportsmanlikes, etc. Poor clock management. Awful game plans. Lack of adjustments. Will 18 mil of new players fix all that? Will it fix the fact that this franchise for years has been more about marketing jerseys than winning games? Will it make Shanahan and Griffin less arrogant and full of themselves? Will it get Griffin off the social media for five minutes?

New players might help but only if there is a total regime change. Shanahan's day has passed him by and the results prove that.

Blow it up. Not that it will make much difference. The Redskins are so easy to predict. Wash, rinse, repeat, it's been the same for 20 years.
