Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

The National Football Post is reporting that you don’t have to wonder about who the next Redskins head coach will be. It’s going to be Mike Shanahan.

As done as the other reports or more so?

they just said the same thing on the radio here....Guys it looks like Jim Zorn may be fired before the day is over.....

Screw it. If we're going to hell in a hand-basked we might as well enjoy the ride. This is fun! If it's true, I feel sorry for Zorn, but not that sorry.

DON'T FIRE ZORN NOW!

I don't see this being good for our next 2 games w/div. rivals. I want our Skins to play spoiler & at least send Zorn out w/his dignity.

I hope there's no truth to the Shanny deal, but there probably is.

[SolidSnake84]

Zorn had to see this coming though, in all fairness. The team turned around as soon as he stopped calling plays...what does that tell you???

No offense, but how is this different from any of the other rumors?

I agree. Do I think there is truth to the Shanny deal? Absolutely. Do I think it should be kept under wraps and Zorn finisih the season? yes. Changing coaches at 4-9 with 3 games left makes absolutely no sense.

Lets remember, Jerry Jones has great respect and admiration for Shanny. Snyder wants this deal done before Wade Phillips is ousted. I absolutely 100% believe a deal with Shanahan is done. But please wait.

It isnt except for the fact that National Football Post has a great track record.

I get the impression this is not about firing Zorn...now, but locking up Shanny NOW, as he is a pretty hot commodity

No offense to DC Pro Sports report, but they're referencing a source that I wouldn't exactly consider to be the most credible in the world. When an ESPN, Wa Post, or SI starts jumping on this, then I'll buy it.

The National Football Post is a pretty good source. They're more reliable than, say, Pro Football Talk. Besides, it points at the top of the post at this is a "report."

Disagree considering Bruce Allen gave a nice shout out to Mike Lombardi who works for NFP. Think you need to know a little more about who has sources and who does not before criticizing a specific media.

Another attempt for site hits?

We have a huge Shanahan thread already and guess what, thread titles CAN be updated!
