Not if he fires Shanahan after 3 years. It would basically fall back directly into his pattern.

Sorry but that's just ridiculous. Three years is a lifetime in the NFL and everyone knows Mike's record here is abysmal. He's even seen as an expensive joke, which is worse than the simple joke I've been calling him lol.

To the contrary, showing Shanny the door indicates a franchise serious about getting on the right track and winning. And RG3 will attract coaching talent regardless. In fact I think potential HCs will jump at the opportunity, exactly the opposite what you believe.

Actually I never stated my belief in whether a coach would want to come here or not, but since you asked (not really but dickishly implying you knew my opinion on the matter will suffice), I think there are a ton of coaches who would embrace coaching this team. Snyder's money, coaching in a major market, the ability to coach RG3, the landscape of the division (2 declining & aging teams, 1 consistently mediocre team) and the rare opportunity to be an NFL head coach isn't something many would turn down.

What I believe is that Snyder is not going to make a move at the head coaching position this year absent us losing the remainder of our games in a devastating manner. As much as you're gonna hate it, a rookie QB, a young roster and major injuries to key personnel will be more than enough to buy MS another season (at least) at the helm.

Alright I'm admittedly confused. What were you referring to or implying with respect to replacing Shanahan?

...and I'm not a d!ck, I'm an a$$hole, you pu$$y

Sorry, wrong side.

Your implication that I believed nobody would want to come here to coach is incorrect. I believe he won't get fired but that has nothing to do with the allure of our job.

So what's the relevance/impact of Snyder falling into his same old habits?
