Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

1) By all reports, DS told Allen he would step back and Allen's contract garauntees him full control. Whoever Allen hires as head coach will not want the previous HC within 100 miles of Redskins Park. It would create too many problems and has ZERO chance of working.
2) For all intents and purposes, Zorn has already been stripped of every bit of dignity he had, yet he didn't quit. There's no way Zorn would quit this job. In his three year contract, he's undoubtably made more money than he has his entire career. his wife would undoubtably kill him.

I agree, I don't see the point in keeping Zorn around, or anyone else on the staff for that matter. Let's cut all ties and wipe the slate clean.

I would like to get rid of everyone, except for Kirk Olivadotti and Danny Smith. The rest can go bye, bye.

Why would you want to keep Danny Smith?
Have we had one return cross midfield?

good luck to you bruce allen cause we are pulling for you to starighten this mess out and last night you now know first hand what it is going to take.

Why wouldn't they fire Zorn now and bring in a new head coach? Why not? They're going to fire him anyway. Let the new coach start bringing in people now. The last two games could be to see who makes the team.

Question, Why is this thread title "Shanahan to DC done deal" when it definitley isn't, Zorns still our head coach, and who knows shanahan could take the job somewhere else. My point is NOTHING is definite yet.

Danny Smith has done a good job of devising special teams plays. I like the guy.

like the one from last nights game? or how he trots out A.R.E to return punts? Smith needs to join the rest of these lame ducks

Danny Smith isn't the only guy picking who returns punts.. and he's saved Zorn's ass a few times this year with game/clock management.

I'd keep him, Olivadaotti (guy has been around through several coaches so he's probably pretty decent), maybe Gray, and Wachenheim.

You know, one of the big fears i had about Shanahan is that he'd get rid of our defensive coaching staff, but at this point, i think all our coaches need to go. Haynesworth and Orakpo are grossly mis-used. Our DBs - many of whome are talented - can't cover at all. I agree its time to completely clean house. I think Kirk Olivadotti and Jerry Gray have bright futures... but i think a complete staff overhaul is necessary to "right the ship."

I hope your right. We have a lot of talent in that secondary and they have looked pathetic recently.

I am convinced that almost all of our secondary problems are coaching. Landry needs fundamental retraining. He is missing tackles by two yards.

I sure as hell hope so.

I just hope that Kyle comes with him.
