Former Shanahan quarterbacks pile on | ProFootballTalk

One of my business partners is acquainted with Plummer and says he's just about the most stand up guy around. Think I've mentioned all this before and probably in more detail, anywho...

What if it's Snyder's people putting out all these rumors, including the one about Shanny cleaning out his office?

Thing is Shanny has yet to flat out deny that report. He's always been quick to shoot down reports in the past if there's nothing to them. He also said there are partial truths out there to the rumors.

What would the logic be behind Snyder doing it?

Maybe the rumor's partly true, but it was leaked to make Shanny look bad?

From what little I've seen of Shanny talking, and I trust you that Shanny hasn't been blameless in this, him not really addressing that rumor at all seems weird.

Shanny looks bad enough with his W/L record. That alone is enough to get him fired and nobody would be able to blame Snyder for doing so.

Too many things point in the direction of Shanahan on this.

If people accuse me of things I'm not involved in, I'm quick to shoot it down and clear my name.

The fact that Shanahan hasn't even tried to deny any rumors, doesn't make him look real innocent.

Agreed. Maybe the rumors true, but he didn't leak it? I dunno. I'm just struck by the way we're trashing Shanny for a move most people agree with. And one or two opinion articles have been posted here that Snyder's previous debacles with coaches really weren't primarily his fault. I feel like we're getting carried away with our Shanny hate, and that point, so I'm questioning everything about what's said now.
