Shanahan is a good coach. Shanahan is a bad GM. That pretty much explains it.

Shanahan is a bad GM. He is not a good coach. He does not do very much coaching. He's a community organizer in charge of a billion dollar football operation. He's over his head.

Truer words...

Sounds like it'll all be over tomorrow. Better days ahead.

I hope that isn't the case. The skins will gain nothing by firing him now as opposed to waiting until the end of the season. And it could definitely hurt us. Snyder will have a tough time convincing coaches to work for him; it will be even harder if he fires a coach during the season.

i tend to agree with this. I also believe that leak about him wanting to leave last year does more damage to the organization than it does to him. So if he is fired during the season, no coach thats worth anything will want to come here. We will be just like the Raiders with Al Davis and have to hire bums.

I'm sure Shanahan is making these comments, and equally sure it's only to distract from his own failures. Aside from a brief stint in Denver where he was given the keys to a SB caliber team Mike has been an utter failure as an HC (Oakland and DC).

i personally saw competent play calling for once in a long time. one of the best running offenses the past 2 years. one of the best points per game last year.

do we not remember all the years of not cracking 20 points a game? atleast we had a professional offense. HC and OC also did a great job last year of play calling and play action as many times a long pass play only worked if the first read was wide open .. and last year RG3's first read on long pass plays were wide open.

the defense absolutely sucked ass this year. the secondary is atrocious. no way to hide that.

at least mike gave us a fun team to watch (sans today). i dont want to go back to boring predictable low scoring redskins football.

The coaching staff did a great job for 7 games during their 4 year tenure, I agree.

The rest of the time Shanahan has been here, the team has been terrible. It has been just as bad as any other year under Snyder.
Shanahan was blinded the money and now he understands why no coach will succeed under Snyder unless they tell him to shut up and get out of operations.

Last year, Alfmo was incredible.

Lately, Alfmo has had under 50 yards and less than 15 carries over the last 3 games. It's getting the point where he barely gets any carries. I don't blame him at all for that, but the guy has zero help. Between a terrible offensive line, bad playcalling and completely getting annihilated before half-time in the majority of our games this season, I don't think the running game is that good but it's NOT Alfmo's fault. Everything Alfmo has gotten statistically, he's done it all on his own with what little chances he's getting.

Rg3 is an idiot. He has been a cancer to this team and organization and should learn to at least shut the hell up. He is not a franchise quarterback. Franchise quarterbacks don't cause the problems he has, and don't say the things he says.

Definitely glad fans aren't in charge of the team. What a difference a year makes.

Where are our spies? I mean in the past people would tell us where Redskins1 was heading possibly who DS was meeting with. We got nothing.
