Kubiak was fired today. If the Shanny stays next year, maybe HOU makes a play for Shanny Jr.??? Hey, one can hope...right?

As a Texan fan, all I can say is "NO.......GOD NO!"

Actually McNair has already said he wants someone with Head Coaching Experience. That leaves Kyle out.

Ok, I give in...you can have both Shannys for the price of one. :lmao:

So the report this morning is that Red Lobster was ready to quit last year because he was sick of the relationship between RG3 and Richie Rich. Given the headaches between the injuries and the offseason there must have been some serious negotations to keep him. But yeah all this "change the culture" crap that has been pushed by the Skins for the last 2 years still exists. Already I would much rather have RG3 than Clinton Portis

Worth reading. Pretty clearly something that was leaked by Shanahan at this time. He wants out, thinks he's getting fired anyway, and he's known to leak things to his own advantage.

Regardless of how the dots connect as to the latest report out of Washington, here’s how the dots connect going forward. Snyder is going to fire Shanahan. We wouldn’t be surprised if it happens later today, if the Redskins lose to the Chiefs.Really, what else is Snyder going to do? He’s been openly disrespected. If that was enough to prompt Joe Pesci to riddle Spider with bullets, it’s enough to get Snyder to fire Shanahan.

At a minimum, it’s enough to get Snyder to angrily demand answers as to how in the hell this got reported, setting the stage for a showdown between a pair of strong-willed, wealthy men.

And here’s where it could get even more interesting. Snyder could try to fire Shanahan with cause, stiffing Shanahan out of his $7 million for 2014. It wouldn’t be the first time Shanahan was blocked from a buyout, and if Snyder can prove that Shanahan was involved in leaking the story, maybe Snyder can convince the Commissioner to side with the Redskins.

Regardless, it’s now clear that Shanahan wants out. And if this maneuver doesn’t work, maybe he should spill strawberry sauce all over Sammy Baugh’s uniform and/or drag the three Lombardi Trophies around the parking lot by the bumper of Shanahan’s car.

Regardless of all the details it's now certain Shanahan will be gone. And he should be gone. Just because Dan Snyder is a ####ty owner, that doesn't mean Mike Shanahan is a good coach any more.

Disillusioned with the way Snyder was running the organization, Shanahan cleaned out his office in advance of January's wild-card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks and expected to leave the team whenever the season ended, according to a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The source said Shanahan had grown tired of the way Snyder empowered Griffin and openly esteemed him above all other players. Shanahan didn't blame Griffin but did blame Snyder for creating an atmosphere that Shanahan did not believe was conducive to winning. Shanahan privately told people close to him that he felt Snyder's behavior with regard to Griffin was a "complete farce."

In spite of that, Shanahan believed he would be leaving the team on a very positive note, as the Redskins had won the NFC East in his third year as their coach and were preparing for a playoff run. He believed the team had come together and shown strong character during the seven-game winning streak on which it ended the regular season.

But when Griffin injured his knee in that playoff loss, a source said, Shanahan changed his plans. He believed leaving at that point was no longer an option. He didn't want the general public, or possibly even his players, to think he left because of Griffin's injury.

Contacted this weekend about this information, Shanahan declined to comment.

Shanahan was right about Snyder. But he was wrong about his assessment of the team and wrong about why they aren't winning.

 
Anybody that thought Shanny should have stayed can't still believe this after hearing that his bags were packed before the Seahawks game. Nobody wants to hear that your head coach has punted before a playoff games. That is some Steve Spurrier stuff right there.

The only reason you would still want Shanny is because the next option is too damn scary.

 
ugh. so who are the potential coaches we could hire? If there is a change i hope its made early so that RG3 is plenty of time to learn the system.

Which makes it an even better tactic.

It could be 100% true! but releasing it now is still an ###-covering move by Shanahan on his way out to protect his legacy, no matter the results this season. Now there's a good chance he gets fired tomorrow after this game, like Kubiak, and he's already spun the narrative to focus on this rather than the on-field product. It's PR brilliance whether it's true or not.

 
I don't know how you spin this to make Shanny look good though. Never mind that in 4 years your team has sucked except for a miracle 6 game run; you are admitting that you were ready to quit before a playoff game. Even the biggest hater of Richie Rich :hey: can't spin to this to make you feel sorry for the Red Lobster

I agree a bit, but the details won't be what sticks--the overall narrative of a meddling Snyder will be what rises to the top from that story and THAT's something that will earn Shanahan plenty of leeway in the NFL community, and perhaps hinder our coaching search. Whether it's truthful or not, it plays to all our fears.

 
Jordan Reed is inactive again today. Our margin of victory over the Chiefs may be under 20 without him.

Shanahan is such a bum. Yes, the reason the redskins suck is because of RG3 and Snyder. After all it was their decision to switch to the 3-4 and hire your son, right? Which one is in charge of the worst special teams in the league? Which one is in charge of clock management? Griffin or Snyder? Yeah, let's just forget that the only decent season he had here was when his diva QB was playing out of his mind. Don't let the door hit you on the way out you red faced loser

Too bad he didn't quit before the playoff game. Then maybe we'd have a healthy RGIII.

Nobody is buying the #### he's selling here. (Well, maybe the idiots at espn and talk radio.) Shanahan has had total control of this team for 4 years and it's a total cluster####. He's not getting another HC job.

 
Regarding who to hire, remember this: Snyder has never hired a good head coach. He's hired some who were previously good, but none who were good (over .500) with the Skins after he hired them.

Someone else should hire the coach. Whether that's Allen or a new GM I don't know, but it shouldn't be Snyder. He's proven he can't do it.

I'd have doubts about Allen doing it.

 
Losing 31-0 with 9 minutes left in the first half --- yeah, the team quit on the coach who tried to quit the team last year.

 
"Kyle, we need you to serve as intermim head coach for the rest of the season."

"Let me ask Dad first."

 
i hear Cousins has his helmet on. :popcorn:

ETA: i think thats a good idea. this game is out of hand. RG3 doesnt need to be in there.

Rhem Morris as interim coach? Can't be Haslett
Click to expand...
Yeah, I think both Shanahan's and Haslett are canned, Morris as interim HC just because he has experience and there's no hope of turning this around anyways. He'll get a courtesy interview for the position with the next regime but won't get it.

 
I'd make Fletcher the interim HC. He's a leader, he knows the game, the locker room respects him.

Most importantly, it will get him off the ####### field.

 
"So you are just going to talk about what you want to talk about"

Shanny - "if you want to say it that way" :lmao:

This glorious press conference is going to be just like the Skins all sizzle and no steak

He sounded like Mcgwire in front of congress. "I just want to talk about the future..."

That was an awesomely awkward press conference. The media has officially turned on him.

I really think Art Briles will be the head coach, he knows best how to utilize RG3.

Defensive coach? Rocky Seto from the Seahawks is a guy they should interview, he is currently passing Game Coordinator/Defense for the Seahawks.

I hope this team goes back to a 4-3, and just gets someone in here that has that punch you in the face mentality.

Also what are the thoughts of BMitch doing something with Special Teams?

Well here's to another 3 more sucky years

 
What it means: The end of the Mike Shanahan regime. With stories now detailing the nature of numerous relationships at Redskins Park -- Shanahan’s and Robert Griffin III; Griffin and Dan Snyder; Kyle Shanahan and Griffin -- it’ll be tough for Shanahan to survive, especially after a disastrous and embarrassing 45-10 loss to Kansas City Sunday. If Snyder fires Shanahan it can be justified based on the record over the first three-plus years (24-37) and the fact that they have not improved this season. They’ll have salary cap room, but the direction they’re headed is the wrong one. Shanahan has complained about how much noise accompanies coaching the Redskins. It certainly has annoyed him during his tenure and it probably makes coaching more difficult. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems, but it’s hard to paint this season in any sort of positive light. For a while bringing Shanahan back was a legitimate option. Players have maintained support, both privately and publicly. But there just seems to be too much ongoing “noise” for Shanahan to survive for a fifth season.

So wait Richie Rich is giving RG3 wife special limo service and extra security. Maybe the ultimate goal isn't to be friends with RG3 but his wife ;)

Brian Mitchell is good at bombast and sound bites. He would not be a good coach.

The Redskins need people from outside their organization.

Fantastic post. I'd really like to see Zimmer from Cincinnati.

Zimmer is only gonna leave to be a head coach, don't see him making a lateral move

Ill rephrase. I'd like to see him as our head coach next year
