Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?

[JLee9718]

I heard a rumor that the Denver owner admitted making a mistake when he fired Shanahan and now wants him back. Then I heard this morning about the rift between Snyder and Shanahan. Could Shanahan be trying to worm his way out of his contract as HC of the Redskins? This could seriously upset Snyder, and I wouldn't blame him for being upset. Everyone jumps and concludes that it's Snyder's fault, when in fact it may be more of a problem with what Shanahan is doing. Personally I would tie a bow around both Shanahans and ship them back to Denver, along with Jim Haslett!

Mike Shanahan working for John Elway? Not gonna happen.

Until Shannahan shows me something other than another year we're not in the playoffs, I will continue to be dismayed. Although, I will gain a lot of confidence in him if he drafts the right QB. If he screws that, I'm finished with him.

And I am sure he, his 2 SB rings, his hot wife and his millions of dollars will be deeply dismayed to learn they have lost your confidence.

And what did all of that get us? A 6-10 season.

First year, coming off a 4-12 season with what seems to be one of the easiest schedules in all of football (Faced 5 teams that drafted in the top 10 in 2009 as well as the Chargers in week 17), going into a year where they had to go against one of the toughest schedule's they've had in a while.

Not to mention a team that was learning a new offense and new defense.

I mean what did you expect was going to happen?

If Snyder is hell bent on keeping this franchise in perpetual disarray, and Shanahan is fired (to the delight of many, it appears), then it'll be interesting to see if the next coach is held to the same impossible standards.

Wow. Just wow.

The fans are clearly in the lead when it comes to pure lunacy. Just the thought of wanting to get rid of Shanahan right now is laugh out loud hilarious.

Well when you sweat blood for a team that can put both Albert Haynesworth and Donovan McNabb on the bench in the same season, it's no wonder some of us fans are loony.

That scenario would not happen on any other team in the NFL.

I think most fans are intelligent enough to realize that Shanahan needs more than one year. But after seeing this guy for a year he just seems like a total dick to work for and has isses with communication.

On the outside looking in, Pro Football Talk tabloid type of stuff, sure it could look that way.

But that's not the impression you get from the majority of players, former and current.

I don't get that from the players at all. And Mark Schlereth has remarked....many times of the respect and admiration he has for Shanny. How much fun he had playing for him.
I think it must be more of a case of that intuitive....."fan" intelligence channeling evil thoughts in the Shannahan camp?

Well for every Mark Schlereth there's a Jake Plummer. Year one I'm just not impressed with the guy. From the way he handled McNabb, to how he insisted on running a 3-4, to his letting his son run the offense. Let's see how the off season goes and next year. I'm interested to see which direction they go. Chase a bunch off FA's??? ... which I think is what they're going to do, or try and rebuild, ... which I think they should do.

Probably more like for every 100 Schlereth's, there's a Plummer.
