Give me a break.

To me the best way for Shanny to repair his legacy would be to return next year and field a respectable team. Afterall, he has 2 good QBs, 2 good RBs, a promising young TE, and a WR who just broke the franchise record for yards in a season. The situation is not that bleak. If we can grab a good CB, a decent safety and a right tackle in FA. Then go into draft looking for interior lineman, and a middle LB we would compete for our division next year.

I think the fact that this front office/coaching staff has played with a major salary cap penalty the last 2 years should give them a mulligan. I for one don't want to tear down and rebuild when we are 4 or 5 starters away from being a solid team. So, personally, I hope we keep Shanny.....

....now Haslett, on the other hand? Do what you want with him.

Well said 81, I just hate the way the whole thing is playing out in front of us in the media. I would love to have stability at the head coach.
I really don't know who to believe anymore.

Agreed on just about everything. I do think our OL is weak other than TW, and our DL isn't bad. Of course we have no good safeties, maybe Rambo and Thomas will emerge next season.

Shanny has not justified a new contract. But the media frenzy lately has been ridiculous. I still want Haslett gone, (though I wanted Danny Smith gone too so what do I know.)

I will laugh my *** off if Shanny gets his 5th year here. Would love to see us make the playoffs next season if he does. (OK, I want us to make the playoffs regardless of who's coaching, you know what I mean.)

Actually, the "intelligent fans" (myself included lol), got our way in firing Danny Smith. How'd that work out? Still feel confident knowing what our team needs are?

Pfft to hail with this legacy business Shanny just wants to get paid! He's in this just for a paycheck like anyone else who works for a living. Only difference if you suck at your job you're not getting a paycheck after your sacked.

ummmmm, you trying to say danny smith was good? Cause he sucked, and shanahan replaced him with someone WORSE. I wonder if shanahan still feels confident. Just cause Burns sucks too doesn't mean that fans don't know that particular part of our team most of the time looks like a retard trying to play pattycake.

You've channeled your inner Monkeydad, I see

Man how many times do we gotta keep quoting the same string of pictures? Whoever quotes this ish next, just replace the links with "failures of the Shanny regime montage" please?

Also I know I'm not the only one who felt we could do better than Danny Smith, and now regrets him leaving. So if you're one of those guys like me step up. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

[Mechanix544]

Hey, to be fair, I've never seen a Shanny montage.. My wife made me post it though, even though the pre nup we both signed gave me complete control of any forum posting related decisions. I really wanted to post this........(and keep my draft picks). See? I was right all along.

Oops...logged onto the wrong account when I posted that...hard to keep all of them straight.

Dan Snyder was standing behind Shanahan when this picture was taken but he's so short that it's not possible to see what he was doing. One can only guess based on Shanahan's expression.

Me too. Careful what you wish for because you just might get it.

When you're 3-10 and ranked 31st in the standings, with a struggling & benched primadonna QB, brewing QB controversy, broken locker room, media frenzy on the coach, impatient owner, and facing giving up our upcoming #1-2 overall pick to the Rams....

How much worse can it get anyway?

I'm not a Mike basher, but do want him to go.

This article is pretty good old read, not that BR is very accurate. Mentions stuff that has happened here.

I want Mike gone from a personnel standpoint, he is killing the roster.
