He's not ancient at 59 either. He could coach another 5-7 years no problem. He doesn't seem like the type that wants to hang things up early and go play golf all day.

Ugh. Didn't we just go through this last year with McNabb?

Matty, I just don't think we can reconcile consistently failing with consistently wanting to prove that failure must of been a fluke. I think I COULD see Mike Shanahan coaching 5+ years here, but doing so while losing every season would be completely unprecedented. I'll repeat that: completely unprecedented. It hasn't happened. It won't ever happen. He needs to be winning.

Expecting Shanahan back in 2012 or 2013 is logical only if you believe that this team is on the right track, and really should win as much as it loses. The idea that he'd be completely okay with sustained losing so that he can rebuild the team before handing the reigns over to Kyle (or whoever) doesn't have any basis in reality.

Let's see how this year goes. He's had one year for crying out loud.
