Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

[Darrell_Green_28]

I wonder if they talked to Sherm and he said no he didnt want the HC job. and will use that in the Rooney Rule..

Here's the scoop from SS who texted me:

-Shanahan was not in DC today

-Terms of a deal have been in place for a while now, the holdup was he didn't want Vinny in a decision making role, he doesn't want to take over during the season, and he wants to wait until after the Texans season is over to bring his son Kyle with him.

-He's also waiting to see what will happen with Dallas, but his focus has shifted to the Skins now.

-Skins are also interested in bringing in Doug Williams but it probably wouldn't happen until March, if it does at all. DW might not be as interested as the Skins though, thinks he may have more upside with Tampa.

Good news I hope Shanny brings in Kyle & Allen brings in Doug that would be a good look.

Thanks for the update and thanks to Smoot for sending it.

Great stuff as usual from Smootsmack. Lol, wouldn't it be crazy though if they brought back Spurrier?

Ironically though a few things need to come to fruition to make this official. First the Texans need to loose their next game to knock them out of the playoffs, that way his son Kyle can be brought in as the OC/Assistant Head Coach. On top of that, as sick as it is, the Cowboys need to be the playoffs, at least for this deal to be on the safe side. I still feel like the Redskins will get Shannahan even if Dallas doesn't make the playoffs, but at the same time it would be a slam dunk for us in terms of getting Shannahan if they did.

Are you implying that the Redskins should loose to Dallas to prolong their season and the Redskins jump on Shanahan? That would be pretty entertaining.

Ha ha, no no, we're just talking. Though it would be kind of ironic. Still, as I said before (not that I'm an insider like Smootsmack), I feel like the Redskins have a lock on Shannahan. As others have stated, they have his personnel guy, they have a defense, he can bring his kid in as the Assistant Head Coach/OC. I think the more vital component is having the Texans loose and miss the paloffs.

Also on a side note if Shannahan not wanting to work with Vinny helped lead to his dismissal then we should be welcoming him with open arms.

For the record that was like a week ago.

I actually liked Zorn but it seems to me that Snyder is willing to put his ego in check to some degree by bringing Shan in.

i have a bad feeling this whole thing falls through and shanahan winds up in dallas and we're forced to hire another zorn-esque coach.

Hmm...I think this one is a wrap for the Skins. They just didn't start talking last week. I think the only way Shanny ends up in Dallas if:

a) The bottom continues to fall out through December in a major way.

b) Jerry Jones offers Shanny more than Snyder is willing to pay, which we both know will be hard. Also, somoneone here pointed out that Jerry has too much money tied up in that stadium to go too far out on limb.

c) Jerry gives him the type of personnel control he's looking for.

C) is very unlikely to happen and is one of the reasons his focus has shifted to the Skins. SS mentioned that Jones isn't too keen on Kyle and one of Mike's big sticking points is having control over his staff.

Not if the deal is already done. Kind of like we said.
