Mike Shanahan has a lot more football credibility than Allen or Snyder. End of discussion.

I don't think anyone denies that.

But his fingerprints are all over our mess just the same.

Mike Shanahan was a good coach and is more credible than Dan Snyder. He should have never been allowed to hire his son as the OC and he should have be held accountable for the poor performance of the defense and Jim Haslett.

I do not understand this love for him after they way he left the team.

Thats not the discussion here. The question is did Shanny run the team or did Dan? To me, it all boils down to whether it was written into the contract that he had full control. If so, the RG3 trade was Shanny, not Danny.

You dont just point a finger at an alpha male personality and they roll over. I dont buy that Shanny rolled over for Dan on everything like Shannys mouth pieces are now describing. Why demand full control and have it given to you, sign the contract, and then give up all control the next day. That just doesnt make sense to me since we are dealing with alpha male personalities.

Shanny had no problem patting RG3 on the back claiming him as his guy when we were winning 7 in a row to go to the playoffs. Now... Shanny had nothing to do with it. When the praise was being handed out, Shanny was front and center. Now that the praise is no longer there, Shanny is hiding behind Schefter and Steve Young who are claiming that Shanny never made a single decision in 4 years of "full control" except the decision to bring on Kyle. Sorry, I just dont buy it.

Having said all of that... All Hail Scot McCloughan. I would rather have him than anyone that has come and gone during Snyders reign of terror as owner.
