Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?

#2- Allen and Shanahan are good friends and both came to an agreement prior to being hired by Snyder that they would work their next gig together. So the loyalty is leaning toward Allen/Shanahan not Allen/Snyder.

#3- Snyder can be pissed all he wants to but "his" way of handling the team proved to not work out well over the course of the 10 yrs and "if" DS is truly about turning over a new leaf and letting the right people run the team then DS needs to shut up and look the other way. He admitted that how things were being run was a failure.

Lastly I find it interesting that DS goes out of his way to pick up Allen/Shanahan to make this team better and instill discipline and he would be upset at how McNabb and Haynesworth was handled? Funny cause if I was the owner I'd be more pissed at the players.

Haynesworth for not getting with the program and McNabb for the bad decision making.

But thankfully I don't believe any of the BS.

I'm just writing what I heard on The Fan this morning. Is it BS? Probably and I personally don't think Shanahan is going anywhere. But I'm sure DS isn't happy about how Shanahan has handled some things.

Really because if you ask me it seems that Shanahan handled Hansworth about the same way Snyder handled a few players. Think about Lavar and the WR (forgot his name right now) from the Jets.

Coles, Lavar was all Gregg Williams

That's true but Lavar and Coles didn't get 40 mil and both of them at least produced for us on the field. What has AH done? Play a handful of games and underachieved in most of them. Ah is more in the wrong for not being a pro but Shanahan also should take blame for changing a defense to the 3-4 and not having the personel to run it....which in turn made fat Albert cry and pout more.

yeah glazer mentioned this a bit back.. nothing more has come of it yet though.. and JLC has been right on a lot of stuff this year but he's gotten quite annoying, preaching everything with I told you so to the point his statements are dripping with insecurity or at the least a slap in the face to his critics, much like Glenn Beck

Name me something JLC has been right on when it comes to the Redskins this year? If he is "right" he's usually about 2 months behind.

Snyder - he's as relevant as he is short.

Shanahan - top dog. He oversaw everything in Denver. His OWN book mentioned that"

"Now, is it error free? No, nothing is. But by having scouts talking with players, position coaches studying players, coordinators supervising their decisions and me overlooking everything, we have prepared ourselves to limit our mistakes."

Bruce Allen - salary cap/contract master. Also probably does the wheeling and dealing for whatever Shanahan asks of him, i.e Shanahan wanted Campbell gone, Allen did the talking with Al Davis. After all, it's unlikely Al Davis and Shanahan could get far in negotiations.

What I have heard is that Snyder was "less than happy" with the contract extension given to McNabb in light of the "messy divorce" that went down just a few weeks later.

That does not translate into a rift between Shanahan and Snyder - - but it does mean that the coach and the owner were not on the same page on at least one significant issue in the 2010 season. And that issue cost the owner a couple of million bucks...

Do not discount the sources of Jason LaCanfora or Jason Reid when it comes to getting inside info on the Redskins. They may not always report stories that fans want to hear - - but it does not mean they are wrong or that they are "making stuff up". Both guys are competent reporters/journalists.

We need to start giving JLC the Florio treatment.

this is such a load of crap and a non-story .. i love that Jay Glazer "reports" that Gruden could end up here .. come on man .. unless shanny goes 3-13 next season he will be coaching the Skins' in 2013.

Some thoughts:

Glazer is great. I don't necessarily agree with his methods, but he's really really good at what he does. Even the best are wrong sometimes though

Gruden and Allen have an interesting relationship. They watched a lot of games together last year and sometimes I couldn't tell if they hate each other or love each other. Maybe a little of both. But I kind of got the feeling Gruden is ready to be on his own. Allen's not as concerned with being "the man"

Snyder's biggest "issue" with the McNabb benching was that he wasn't in town when it happened. But that issue was blown way out of proportion
