I think at a minimum, this is a virtual guarantee.

If I look into my cloudy crystal ball, I see Snyder telling Shanahan that he won't fire him but he also won't give him an extension. Snyder will ask for Haslett and Burns to be replaced and for Mike to take over offensive play calling duties himself. Shanahan will resist but won't resign immediately. After a couple of days, they will negotiate a buyout of the final year of the contract and 'mutually part ways'.

Just listening to Schefter lately, who has stayed a Shanny confidant, he has said that 'both sides' need to evaluate what they want to do which is an indication to me that Shanahan isn't 100% committed to the Redskins going forward no matter what.

Around the league there don't appear to be too many coaches in trouble (Washington, Houston, Jets, Vikings, maybe Bucs) so it will be interesting to see the names that are bandied about among those openings. I'm of the opinion that Gruden, Dungy and Cowher are all off of the table for any opening.
