Bruce Allen might be the start to major changes coming. Looks like Daniel Snyder might be working to get this in place before the market gets thinner. On your mark, get set.....GO!!!
Meh. Not sweating the fact that Shanny headed elsewhere. He's already failed with Cutler in one place, why make it two?
How exactly did Shanahan fail with Cutler? He played far better under Shanahan than he has under those bozos in Chicago.
How exactly did he succeed with Cutler? It's a team sport, I'm not talking about one player here.
The team not winning doesn't mean you didn't succeed with a player, just like the team winning doesn't mean every player is a success. Jay Cutler showed great improvement in his time in Denver under Mike Shanahan. He has regressed badly in Chicago. That says a lot. Is Mario Williams a failure in Houston because they have yet to have a winning season since they drafted him? Is Laurence Maroney a success because the Patriots have a great record since drafting him?How exactly did he succeed with Cutler?

Long story short....... Shanny failed with Cutler in a better situation (2007-2008 Broncos) than what the Bears currently are.Sure, but maybe you need to explain yourself a little better. If a player plays well under a coach, but the team doesn't have a winning record, the player was not a success...Is that what you are saying? Just asking.
Okay, I assume you mean,"Shanahan failed with Cutler as his QB," (because of the lack of a winning record)rather than,"Shanahan failed with Cutler." (meaning, Cutler was a failure as a QB under Shanny)Right?Long story short.......

No, he didn't. Cutler became a Pro Bowl QB under Shanahan's coaching. Shanahan may have failed with the Broncos when Cutler was the QB, but he didn't fail with Cutler.Long story short.......

I don[t know about that. Portis isn't the back he was in Denver anymore, and more importantly, the Skin's O-line isn't the Bronco's O-line from back in Portis' time there. For Portis to be an impact (FF) RB next year, the O-line needs to be improved.I do think Shanny can have a very positive impact on Campbell. Campbell isn't suited for a WCO; he has a gun, but isn't really good at making quick reads and short, accurate throws. Shanny let Cutler take more 5 & 7 step drops and throw more intermediate and deep routes. Those types of routes/passes are more Campbell's strength.
Yeah, I still think there's a better chance of seeing Allen and Gruden working together in Washington.
OK, Bill Clinton. You said he didn't succeed with Cutler. That CAN mean the didn't have a successful win-loss record with Cutler as his QB. However, it can also mean that he wasn't successful in making Cutler a good QB. Why didn't you say Shanny didn't succeed with Champ Bailey? Why didn't you say Shanny didn't succeed with Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary, or Clinton Portis? Because according to you, those statements would be accurate, but I'd be willing to bet that most people would call you on them, because those statements (while technically true) are mis-leading.
OK Kenneth StarrAnd why didn't I mention any of those guys? Maybe because none of those guys are currently playing for the BearsOK, Bill Clinton. You said he didn't succeed with Cutler.

Lots of people in here need a refresher course on the fact that the word with can be used many different ways.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Kubiak go back w/ Shanny and would say the odds are very likely.

So, 2 Superbowl rings mean nothing?
Go through whatReally?Do we have to go through this every time?
? I'm just curious how this can go through without the Rooney Rule kicking in. It's not my rule. 
theruselessmisusedcondescendingstupidmisplacedemoticonhere:
Campbell has improved recently on making quick reads and he's been more accurate. For some reason he struggles with slants, but he's been pretty good on everything else.
Nothing has gone through yet.The Redskins did an entire GM search for weeks and complied with the Rooney Rule without anyone knowing. In fact, it's been reported that they fulfilled the Rooney Rule requirements about 10 days ago. Just because there's an article about Shanahan going to Washington, doesn't mean they didn't interview any minority candidates.Go through whatReally?Do we have to go through this every time?
Thanks for your input. PMs are always accepted too.God you're an annoying poster.OK Kenneth StarrAnd why didn't I mention any of those guys?

Portis' inability to get along with Shanny was a part of the reason why Portis was traded. Portis hasn't changed that aspect of himself, and his skills have certainly declined. Some have suspected that Portis might be on the way out anyway, so I'd suspect that this would make that even more likely.
Don't worry. They fulfilled their quota.
Got a link to where a coach was hired? Got a link to where it wasn't complied with? Thanks.
Do we have to go through this every time?
