Interesting. Well I guess we'll settle for the young prodigy.

Shananhan, Kyle, and Zimmer sounds like a great mix.

I just find it hard to believe that Zimmer will be here. He is still coaching and is still focused on the bengals job. How can he come here or have thoughts of coming here even as the Bengals have won thier division and are also lookiing to make a playoff run?

The Bengals will not pay him what he's worth. He'll either get a head coach job or come here. Washington is the more liekly scenario.

Apparently they got that from ESPN and ESPN has since backed off those comments. Shannahan should be ready to be announced tomorrow.

The Texans finished 9-7 and may make the playoffs, why are we still discussing Kubiak?

To me all the signs, stars, and rumors point to Shanahan. No one else is even mentioned. It would turn DC upside down if Shanahan said no and went elsewhere.

Oh I'm sure some would be estatic like the ones who don't want him at all but since the break we have heard that he might be coming, 2 weeks ago we heard he was rumored to be the next HC, a week ago the contract was signed and Shanahan ready to take over, fans finally somewhat warm to the idea and BAM... he goes elsewhere.

That would be the ultimate suckage.

Well Parcells has done that twice, to Tampa in '92 and to Atlanta in '07.

Rumor was if he lost his last 2 games he would be fired. He won the last 2 games. Rumor is the owner would keep him if he ended well, broke even 8-8, and won the last 2 games.

here's the question. Did Kubiac say he was staying? or was it the owner? It still doesn't mean Kubiac can't quit and be hired by Shanahan. right?

I was kinda hoping we could pick up Alex Gibbs as our OL coach so I guess I was hoping they would fire Kubiac and look for a new HC. It would make our chances greater of picking up Alex Gibbs. If Kubiac stays I can't see us being able to raid their coaching staff. Shanahan won't burn a friend like that.

Shanahan is about as sure a thing as a Antwaan Randle El fair catch. But just like ARE busted out a 43 yard punt return today...there's no telling what might happen with Shanahan.

I get a sense that B Mitch thinks Gray could be the wild card in this coaching search. B Mitch seems really impressed Gray as well.
I would not be surprised if Gray somehow emerged from this the next HC.

Maybe. But if I'm Kubiak there's no way I'm quitting as a head man to be an assistant elsewhere. If nothing else, such behavior could damage his chances for being a head man again in the future.

Seriously, in what universe would that make sense? Nobody would quit a HC job to be a assistant.
