It's OK.


Yep, happy day today! I'm shocked it happened and ecstatic that it did!

Apparently for GM you can get around the Rooney Rule, if you name your GM VP of Football Ops. I think that position does not need the Rooney Rule, but GM does.

Yeah but Sherm Lewis and Blache should not be uttered in the same sentence as Gibbs. Vinny considers them all great and only Gibbs is.

it is a parting shot at Zorn, and for the Skins to release that statement, indicates Zorn is the ultimate lame duck

Sounds like you've got better news coming shortly. Congrats

I think the whole deal about Shanahan being nothing w/o Elway is way overblown. The guy has won a ton of games in this league, he's a brilliant offensive mind, and he's well respected.

Thank you. I've never seen such deep-rooted hatred for an available head coaching candidate with back-to-back Lombardi trophies on his resume.

GMANC71 what about 2007 for Shanahan?

Hey, like I said, I am in favor of Gruden. I'm no big Mike Shannahan fan or anything, but I just dont see where this whole Elway was the only reason he was any good idea came from. Did he win a Super Bowl with anyone else? No, he didnt. Did Holmegren win a Super Bowl without Favre? Did Walsh win one without Montana? Lombardi without Bart Starr? (We can go on and on) I mean I am just saying he's a good coach. John Elway didn't make Mike Shannahan.

And what about 2007 for Shannahan?

Ok, what about 93,94,95,96,97,98, 01,02,03,04,06 and 2009 for the Redskins? I'll take what Mike Shannahan did without John Elway over our record the last 15 years anyday.

All I'm saying is he's a good football coach. Did Elway help, absolutley. Does Shannahan win a Super Bowl without Elway, maybe not... but he still coached a Broncos team year in and year out that was in the thick of the playoff race or in the playoffs.

I want to win a Super Bowl yes, thats all I really want and waht the goal should be..but we have to have a good regular season to have the right to play in January and that guy did it consistantly. Theres no arguing that.


EDIT: I'm an idiot, I didnt see I left 2007 off, I thought that was the losing season you were reffering to... he was 7-9 that year so thats two losing seasons in 9 years... I still stand by my points, though.

Ok, All i meant is in your showing the w/l record, i didn't see 2007, and i wondered what that was. But I agree 100%. Gibbs only won 3 SB, but what mattered is every year, almost, the Redskins were relevant and feared. I would like to get back to that.

funny thing is right after I posted mine, I saw your edit. Made me laugh

thanks smoot.

[hooskins]

Another thing to add about Gruden is his connection with Allen. I think that is a huge positive.
