As with any winning coach, their main goal is to build a championship team the way that has worked for them before, but also, to put themselves in the best position to win right away.
Mike Shanahan hasn't even begun to build the team yet. Any thought of him turning this team into an instant winner this past season is hilariously retarded.
He brought in guys who he thought could contribute and possibly help mentor the younger players....players who he thought could run his son's offense for the short while, but in no way was he ever thinking of building his team around any of those veterans. Maybe McNabb, but in the back of MS's mind, I'm sure he knew that he would be drafting a QB in the up and coming seasons, maybe just not this soon.
Overall, I would question the sanity of any Redskins fan that would want to jettison Shanahan after one, even two seasons. Perfection doesn't come over night nor does it come easily.
