Thing is, Im pretty sure Briles not taking a OC job from a HC position where he's excelling. The move would be for a HC job.

Roman not looking too hot this year.Not at all

Been wondering about this for a long time actually. Seems like the assumption is a college HC automatically gets a pro HC gig, but I don't see the logic. It's a huge step and whole new world in pro football. Going from college HC to pro OC/DC seems more reasonable to me.

SmootSmack, what's your take on the college to pro transition?

Seems to me, I have read some of the same complaints about G. Roman this year as many are making about K. Shanahan.

When your QB is sophmore slumping, the seat can get a little hot

Mike Shanahan.

The question is: Will Dan Snyder demand that Mike Shanahan make sweeping coaching changes in order to stay on as HC for another season without a contract extension?

If so, Mike might just refuse to do so and then it would be over for Mike.

Surely, if the team continues to lose, Kyle Shanahan will see the writing on the wall and, seeing it, he might be inclined to make it easy on his father by finding a graceful way to move on.

The current situation with the Skins is why I've never endorsed the idea of father and son coaching on the same NFL team. It messes with their personal/family relationship.

At a minimum, Haslett, the dude who coaches ST, the QB coach, and the WR coach need to go.

I think the assumption is Mike (control freak) won't allow this to happen. Everything has to be on his terms, period. And while he may show Haslett the door he'll still want the final say on the new DC and our scheme, which has proven to be a fucking disaster under Mike as it was for so long in Denver.

But the bigger issue is Kyle, and unless Kyle gets a great gig somewhere else Mike won't send him packing. Do you honestly believe Kyle will land that gig? I can't imagine it. Not at all. His play-calling has been abysmal save for a brief stint last season when the RO had defenses on their heels. Defenses are now verbalizing how easy Kyle is to predict, but frankly any two-bit football fan (me, for example) has seen this for years. Kyle doesn't deserve to be in pro football, though with the legacy name and connections he'll likely get OC gigs, albeit in crap markets/teams, for years to come.

The bottom line is Mike's decisions have held this team back one way or another. His choice to blow up the defense and start over with a DC who doesn't know the 3-4. His choice to let Kyle build the offensive scheme. How do you punish other people for Mike's decisions and expect the team to follow him?

Skip this post.

David Shaw is a one trick pony...his offensive play calling is unimaginative and when you couple that with an atrocious defense you have a disaster. You bring in David Shaw and watch us give up the most pts and score the least pts in NFL history.

I voted for Shanahan. Mainly because I want to give him the opportunity to have a full offseason with RG3 and a return from cap purg. Not that I don't see the risks involved though.

[Bucket]

I know it wont happen, but this thread is about what I WANT to happen.

Sadly, it wont.

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.
