I would figure that in Shanahan's contract it says something about him being the HC on Jan 4, 2010.

I was thinking the same when it comes to Zorn, fired by lunchtime if not sooner. Shanahan though may take a couple of days, maybe a Wednesday press conference. Even though it's a done deal, Snyder will want to let the news cycle of the coaches fired throughout the league on Monday & Tuesday die down so he can own the headlines.
