Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

KLHJ2 · 12-21-2009, 02:56 PM

The media makes it a soap opera, because they don't know yet so they make up stuff in an attempt to get the truth out. When the HC replacement become official we are going to find out that the Skins fllfiled their obligations to the Rooney Rule from the league office and we still will not find out who the minority candidate was, just like when Allen was hired. Some stuff is meant to be confidential and will remain that way.

CP wanted more money in Denver but I'm not sure how much animosity, if any, there was between Shanahan and Portis because of that. Does anyone have the scoop?

I think Shanahan felt he could turn any RB into gold so they cut ties with CP.

If I recall correctly, there wasn't any huge animosity. Portis just wanted more money, and Kubiak was the real fan of Portis and the guy who pushed for the Broncos to draft him. Not so much Shanahan

Portis spoke today about Shanahan

The ink is all but dry on Shanahan by the way, barring a drastic last minute change, he will be our next head coach

I personally think Portis is full of s**t. I look at it as him kissing up to Shanahan. If CP stays he'll probably practice like he should have been the entire time he's been here. Then he'll have a good year and it'll look like it's Zorns fault for not using him like he should have, or he'll blame the line we had this year instead of taking any responsibility as usual. I understand I'm pissed after the game, but I've been tired of his BS for a long time.

That makes me pretty happy.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see Shanny run the opposite direction after that shit show last night.

Actually, if Shanahan signs with us then last night was actually a very very very good thing - it means he'll be more incined to take an Offensive linemen in the first round than a quarterback. Our OL was simply the worst i've ever seen it last night.

I remain uncertain because memories fade but I think this year's OL is the worst Skins OL I have seen in almost 40 years of watching.

He may not be the GOAT as a coach...but Shanahan will at least make us a respectable franchise again.

BTW- People keep asking "why keep Zorn around"...to ensure we tank the last couple of games and get a to 5 pick!

that's absolutely great news. thanks for updating us.

So when you say the ink is all but dry, does that mean he has actually signed some sort of secret paperwork, or have he and "SnydAll" simply reached an agreement in principle?

I doubt the former is true, so if the later, do you have any idea what the terms of the contral will be (i.e. years/dollars/control/title(s), etc.)?

If the former is true, then have the skins somehow found a way to satisfy the rooney rule even though there is no head coaching vacancy at present?

Don't really know any of those specifics. Just had someone verrrry close to Shanahan tell me this afternoon he'll be coaching the Redskins. They could be wrong, and things could change, but it's one of my best Shanahan sources (not that I have many)
