Updated/Merged: Shanahan Rumors (Will He or Won't He?)

[Mechanix544]

Does anyone get the sense that Snyder runs this team kinda like a 10 year old buying and trading his baseball cards?

[JLee9718]

Shanahan isn't the answer! The 'Skins will be the same no matter who the head coach is. Change players, not coaches...Although some of the coaches need to go, too.

So how many more games do we have to lose for everyone here to say that the seasons over?

I guess his relationship with Cerrato isn't enough to overcome the little voice in Shanahan's ear that tells him coaching for Snyder is career suicide. Cowher has also allegedly rebuffed Snyder several times. Dungy essentially made fun of Snyder on the air last week. So now, of the big names available in the offseason, we're left with Gruden and Holmgren. I think Holmgrens smart enough to reject any offer Snyder makes, so that leaves us with Gruden. If even Gruden won't work here, then we're left with hiring dumb 3rd or 4th tier assistant coaches and repeating the disaster we made with Zorn. When will the madness end?

It won't until Snyder sells.

Pick up a couple more LB's. Dump Betts, Cartwright, and evaluate Portis as keeping or trade bait or simply cut(with no CAP).

Give total football control to M.Schottenheimer, DS just simply write the checks and enjoy the game.

I like your ideas. A lot. I still doubt Snyder will ever turn the team over to anyone, regardless of how proven they are or how big their reputation is. My guess is Cerrato is still here a year from now, two years from now, because it allows the tiny man to play he de facto GM game he likes so much. He'll continue to burn through coaches and players, but it makes exactly no difference who those people are because the shit show will always be the same.

Have to say, if anyone actually believes that the redskins will turn this season around. They are absolutely crazy. The redskins have the become the team that hands out victories to winless teams. I know Kansas City is glad their playing us next. Bring in Holmgren or shanahan. Whoever the coach will be, they must have complete control just as gibbs did.

The NFL is a copycat league why aren't we copying from the successful teams. Get a stellar o-line & d-line like Eli, Peyton & Brady has win those battles first. Get a some playmakers but with your stellar line you exactly need a AP at RB & you could afford to trade a Clinton Portis and not skip a beat. Things like this for starters

I totally agree with you however as stated a few days ago ....DS had so much money tied up in the Gibbs2 era coach's he could not fire current coach's and still pay them according to their contracts and let any new HC bring in his people also and be paying them. Most likely why no one wanted the job or turned it down. Bite the bullet DS, take a loss for once and write it off on your taxes and get "Experienced" people in.

I hope not cause he floundered with the Ravens more then he soared. Part of it being with the QB's he chose.

I'm done. Oh I'll watch, but I won't expect a win. The Giants beat us ...understandably. They are good. The Rams suck....we lost to them. Detroit sucks ...we lost to them. Tampa sucks we squeeked by them. Carolina sucks and we lost to them. The only other team that we might get lucky on is KC, other then that we play a bunch of good teams the rest of the yr. Our easy part has past us by and we either lost or barely beat the teams we should have won by a huge margin. Please don't get the idea this team is going to all of a sudden pull a magic trick and look like the Giants. Especially now that we are having injuries. Zorn and even the players are saying "this is us, we have to find a way to win these games." So if you think it's DS or Cerrato forget any changes....DS is making money which any business man knows if it aint broken don't fix it. If you think its the coach's, scheme, or players ...nothing is going to change. We are what we are. Unless people start getting canned.

call me a blind optimist but I'll keep believing until we're mathematically eliminated

[SBXVII]

Do any of you all think this is the year DS has his come to jesus meeting and realizes that with his meddling and Cerrato in place no decent HC will take the job? and if so do you think he will make the change that's best for the team or will he let his EGO get in the way and take what he can get and settle for more of the same mediocracy?

Nitpicking alert!

We beat the Rams

Back to the regularly scheduled Snyder bashing.

[CultBrennan59]

we've got some pretty disperate fans on this thread thinking that the season could still be a success...wake up people seasons over, start looking toward the draft.
