Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

[drew54]

Smoot, how much buzz is there about Shanahan going to the Bears if Lovie were to be fired? This would reunite him with Cutler.

Almost 10 years worth quite honestly. Allen has been rumored a couple of times before to come here. And it definitely intensified in the last 18 months. The feeling among most though was that Allen and Snyder would always be in close contact but wouldn't necessarily ever officially ever team up, just because they had come so close before only for one of them to decide not to move forward with it.

I think Shanahan is better than who we have, and probably whoever might be available, but there are two things that bug me about his record:

• The Broncos have had the best home record in pro football over the past 32 years
• He has won only one playoff game without Elway / Davis

Now, his results might be better in Washington, but if there's one thing that is a common theme is that people get worse when they come here. Still, winning two super bowls back to back requires significant coaching and personnel. Hopefully if we bring the right personnel here with our new FO layout, we will enjoy some good football around here.
