HTTR!

Yes. HAIL!

I see us finishing 6-10, but I have hopes that we'll get two more wins and they'll be divisional wins (1-1 with each of our divisional rivals) since we are, on paper at least, more competitive this year against them.

If that 6-10 sees a dramatic improvement from our offense with RGIII and the rest of the additions .... if the defense is at least as consistent as last year's ... if we are in the games even if we lose ... then yes, keep the Shanahans. We NEED consistency, we NEED continuity, and despite the offensive woes of the last three years the team is on the right track.
