LOL @ Redskins

Back when Marty Schottenheimer (sp?) was hired as the Redskins coach I was ecstatic. Well, it took me three weeks and I was ready to toss him back to Cleveland, which also fired him (before KC also fired him!). He tried to tell Darrell Green how to play cornerback!!! He said he was a teacher of football, and Green had been playing his position wrong! Eventually Marty got fired after one year so the ‘Skins could bring in the inept Steve Spurrier and Green ended up in the Hall of Fame. So now we have Shanahan, who was fired by Denver, and then Mike hired his son as his offensive coordinator, and the playcalling looks kind of strange to me. Now Kyle is trying to teach McNabb how to play QB (he says his stance is wrong and he’s trying to get McNabb to change it!!!). McNabb will eventually end up in the Hall of Fame (presumably because of his “bad” stance when he throws!!!) Woe is me…Why do coaches go brain dead when they are hired by the Redskins? And why can their sons call good plays in Houston but suddenly are the height of ineptness when they reach the Redskins? The ‘Skins looked lost on defense against the Eagles, just as they looked lost against the Colts. Fire Haslet now!!! Next to go would be Kyle if the offense doesn’t improve!

Kyle Shanahan did not go braindead when he got here. One huge change for him is that he had Andre Johnson to catch the ball thrown by his QB in Houston and he had NO ONE here in Washington who is half as good as Andre Johnson.

I happen to think Kyle Shanahan is very overrated as an "offensive genius" and that if his name were Kyle Flabeetz he would still be a quality control coach at a Diovision 1-AA college somewhere, but his success in Houston came because he had some REALLY good players there and he has precious few of them here.

Yeah but, wouldn't that be the same argument for Bill Walsh? If he hadn't had Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, etc... all hall of fame players, that he wouldn't be held in high regards as a coach?
