Let's spin this conversation forward then..

So as one of the 'Fire Shanahan' proponents, what is your (or anyone else who wants to fire Shanny) SPECIFIC plan to get this team back on the right path?

Who would you have picking personnel?
Who would you hire as head coach?
What offensive system would you want in place and who (OC) will run it?
What defensive system would you want in place and who (DC) will run it?
Who are your building block players for the systems you recommend?

Although I doubt if Shanahan gets fired, I'll answer these questions.

#1. I would prefer having GM Bruce Allen picking the players.

#2. If Mike Shanahan is fired, I would pick a coach like Mike Singletary. Singletary wasn't good in SF, but neither was Bellichick in Cleveland.

#3. I would employ a west coast offense. If Singletary opts not to keep Kyle Shanahan around, I would definitely see Brian Schottenhiemer or maybe somebody who is well versed in the west coast system.

#4. I like that DC from Notre Dame. He runs a crushing 34 defense.

#5. Hard to answer this question. But I would get draft picks and key free agents to bolster this defensive system. I like who we already have, but the entire secondary would be revamped.

This should be a fresh thread.

This is the only reason I'm not for firing Shanahan. Who is going to replace him? What is the FO structure going to be like?

People say Sean Payton but he is not coming here, vacancy or not. Even if he did its no guarantee that he will turn the Skins into a success story. Why would he or any up and coming candidate come here? Without first round draft picks and a reduced salary cap starting a team and getting him what he'll need will be difficult, at best. And with it being his first year any forward progress won't be seen for a couple of years.

For better or worse we're stuck with MS. I don't see things getting but stranger things have happen.
