With that said, we have to take a look at the big picture and everything that has happened to this team. The injuries have been horrid this year. Can't really blame the coaching staff for that. If the Redskins don't have those injuries, things could be a lot different for this team. IMHO, Mike is as much in teacher mode for these young players right now as he is in coaching mode. He wants these players to work hard and to play smart. He wants to see how they react in certain situations on the field. Yes, this stuff should be seen during preseason, but in all honesty, I don't think you can clearly get the full answer until you put these players in those situations when it actually counts.
With that said, I really don't have an opinion either way. I don't believe one can truly assess this coaching staff until all the pieces are in place. I think until the Redskins find their franchise QB, build depth on that OL, have their players in skilled positions healthy, then how can we really truly assess Mike Shanahan? I'll admit, I'm a bit skeptical on the Kyle philosophy meshing well with the Mike (run first) philosophy, but I'm willing to keep things as is until we get better players on this team. I believe it's just as simple as that. I think you assess the coaching staff once the rebuilding has been "completed". In other words, I'd wouldn't assess the coaching staff until season number three has been completed.

Exactly, Mike already gets a free pass for this season. Very few coaches would be able to turn what this team currently is into a winner. Our team is dreadful from the center to the quarterback, we're absolute garbage right now.
Our defense on the other hand would undeniably be in the top 5 with a little bit of help. There are a lot of teams that would switch defenses with us.
