Re: Shanahan The New Head Coach Of the Redskins

If so, the era of "The Rat" begins. By the way, ESPN news is confirming it as a 5 year contract and VP of operations title.

Mike Shanahan signs five-year contract with Washington Redskins - ESPN

portis will be gone i think, i dont think he and shannahan got along well. im sure shannahan will bring his own offensive staff since he has his own distinct style of offense. im sure he will bring his son in to be the offensive coordinator, and who knows maybe his son will be groomed to be a future head coach for us. id like to see jerry gray retained on defense, but other than him i dont really care too much either way on anyone.

Re: Shanahan The New Head Coach Of the Redskins

Say what you will about Shanahan's end tenure at Denver, he is the best coach available, he is a known for building high-power offenses, he is "fresh" hasn't been calling bingo or running a nascar team, and has a strong relationship with the GM.

I call it a win.

This is the first coach we've had since Marty with the balls to tell Synder NO, when it comes to personnel decisions (and I include Gibbs 2.0...he was just too damn nice).

This team is a two year project for anyone, but this is the most hope I have had for a competitive team since 2004. I'm interested to see who is coming in at director of player personnel...that is Mike's one glaring weakness and he needs a strong person there along with his son.

I believe this entire coaching staff will get the ax. Players, I have a few longtime veterans in mind that may not be back. The speculation from now until training camp and beyond is what's going to keep it interesting.

Does this mean we're going to have to deal with your whining about this? Seriously, if you can't see this as an upgrade you are in the .001 of anyone with a ounce of football knowledge. I suppose there always has to be one.

Re: Shanahan The New Head Coach Of the Redskins

Mike Shanahan is the new Redskins Coach

Looks like a 5 year, 7 million deal.

Plus he still gets his 3.5 million from Denver for the next 2 years. 10.5 mill for two years. Nice paycheck.
