To be completely honest, im starting to think there is a chance (although not a overwhelming one) that Shanahan comes back next year.

Of course DS is behind it. It would cost him 7 mill if he wasnnt. He is admitting fault about the Seattle game now just to back up his benching of RG-3. It is all a chess match now between him and Snyder and there is 7 mill on the line.

Man you guys read way too much into stuff when you get mad at someone. lol.
MS admitted at the end of last year he should have taken RG3 out of the game. But I don't see how that detrimental to the team? RG3 is a grown man and could have said "coach my knee is busted up I can't play" <did he do that? no. I think it falls on both of them AND the damn doctor who failed to check him out when he came off the field.

How anybody is is beyond me. This is all about money and being fired with or without cause. His contract says he has total control and if Snyder overrides his decision to bench Griff than Shanny will want to walk with his money.

I'm in a win/win situation. If Mike gets the team winning and Snyder decides to let the contact play out then I'm happy. If Snyder fires Mike tomorrow I'm happy.

I think it would be a huge slap in the face if Cousins plays better and the team wins. Against a decent Falcons team. Then plays well and wins against two division rivals whom RG3 could not beat this year. < that makes me giddy. I'm for the under dog.

Think about it though. Talk with MS, fire Haslett after this season, bring in someone with a different idea for DC, fix special teams maybe a new coordinator, have a good draft, pick up key pieces with the $36 mill, cut some older players and bring in more youth

or....

Fire everyone and start all over and expect another 3-5 yrs for this team to get on track again with a new scheme.

No way he comes back. Man has failed in almost every possible way. The team needs to be blown up. There are only a few players that are even worth keeping. It will be 3-5 years anyway in my opinion before the Skins are competitive just because of talent level.

Well, that presser was awkward...

I think he was pretty honest in his presser. The only thing he's hiding is part of this benching is performance based.

I doubt 3 games will amount to much performance wise for RG3. Maybe if the team was in the play offs or something but I doubt 3 regular games will not hurt RG3.

I don't understand why he just doesn't come out and say it. Putting him as an inactive player was a little far in my opinion though. It should be Cousins 1 and RG3 2 at this point.

Shanny can't return, he just can't. It's over.
