Looks like a 5 year, 7 million deal.

Plus he still gets his 3.5 million from Denver for the next 2 years. 10.5 mill for two years. Nice paycheck.

I remember Denver being able to take any running back and making them into 1,000 yard rushers. Every year I try to avoid getting excited about the offseason, but screw it, yipppieee!!

I think KS will need to emphasize the run a bit more than in Houston to be successful in late Nov. / Dec. in the NFC East, but that shouldn't be an issue, especially if Alex Gibbs is coming to run the OL. Zimmer will likely stay with the 4-3 (I'm not sure where the 3-4 rumors are coming from) and greatly improve our defense in terms of 3rd down % and turnovers.

It's the off-season, time for eternal optimism.

Yeah. That's got me pretty stoked too. I think we're going to see a real change....for the better.

I am pretty sure its a version of the WCO. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong but Shanahan is from the Walsh coaching tree, along with the likes of Andy Reid, Gruden, Holmgrin, Marriuci(sp), and others...

Sorry if I mis-spelled any of the coaches names...

Shanny's run game is also predicated on zone-blocking schemes... the tailback makes one cut and goes up-field. He's made ordinary backs look tremendous, but we've got to have those athletic guards that can move.

I am surprised at the terms of the deal..any news as to whether it is really 7 mil a year, isn't that substantially less than the 10 mil range we were thinking it would be?

KLHJ2 · 01-05-2010, 11:48 PM

To reiterate what has already been written, Shanahan runs the West Coast Offense. He will probably change the running scheme to a zone blocking one which will make us a true WCO. Shanny's version of the WCO emphasizes the running game.

Can we get Bobby April for special teams please?

MS, can we please be consistently competitive?

CultBrennan59 · 01-05-2010, 11:56 PM

--Is Bobby April a better special teams coach than Danny Smith?
--I thought Gruden was under the Mike Holmgren coaching tree?
--Zimmern reportedly ran the 3-4 in dallas under parcells so that's where those rumors are coming from.
--Whens the soonest we can cut players?

LandrySlice · 01-05-2010, 11:58 PM

This is a wonderful day for me, I predicted this guy would be the head coach a year ago if that bastard Greg Novis didin't win the job! Welcome to DC SHANNY!

If your refering to the Skins possibly utilizing the 3-4 then the rumors surfaced because people learned that Adam Schefter mentioned that Shanahan and Slowick were visiting both the Steelers and the Patriots camp last Aug. because Shanahan was interested in the 3-4 and wanted to see how the better teams that use it make it work. Rumor sort of came from Schefter meaning Shanahan might use the 3-4 where ever he landed his next job.

It was also rumored that he told Buffalo he wanted to empliment the 3-4 when he was interviewed by them.
