Mike Shanahan.. Extension or move on, what would you do ?

[LaxinFish29]

Extension, new DC, new special teams coordinator.
I'd talk to the WRs coach, too.

Timeout. Didn't Bruce Allen get here first and hire Mike Shanahan? Firing Bruce would be the last thing I'd do. And it's too early to be talking extension. I feel he eventually will get it, but this isn't the year to do it.

With ZERO ability to hit the free agency market because of stupid ass cap penalties.

That most certainly hurt us badly and without some miraculous turn around by the League, it will hurt us even worse this offseason. I wasn;t a fan of Haslett or the 3-4. Both of these moves in addition to keeping Danny Smith could easily be Shannys ticket out of here. Whether it will certainly happen or not, I am having my doubts. But, it certainly doesn't change my thoughts on the matter. I'd like Shanny gone and another guy given the shot. Of course, I am saying this from my keyboard with a beer in my hand after working 65 hours this week. I am not paid to make these decisions. Only able to debate them on the Net.

I really wanted to see Haslett canned heading into the bye-week. Show progress as we head into the last part of this season. Show that you have an idea of what you want to do to help this team turn it around. Not throw crap against the wall in hopes that it sticks.

The Redskins fan in me wants Griffin to be his Elway and Morris to be his Davis. Have Fred Davis to be his Sharp. The Anti-Shanahan in me is screaming on the top of it's lungs saying, "HE LOST IT A LONG TIME AGO!"

Nobody has earned an extension IMO...

those shouldn't be given away just for the **** off it

[Boss_Hogg]

Keep Mike and Kyle. Let them fulfill the five year deal. I'm sick of going through coaches every 2-3 years.

Being its an off-week, lets just go all out full blown crazy and talk to Jimmy Johnson!

He can bait Cowher into being the DC by telling him he doesn't have it anymore.

Could you imagine the website then? Fox Sports would just build an office outside Redskins Park...

[GWinSkins83]

It really doesn't matter. Our organization is dysfunctional from the top.

You don't go around kissing your prospective head coach's ass to try to get him to come here, then jet set around the carribean with him and go hang out with him at scouting combines in Texas hoping you can be his buddy.

The situation we find ourselves in now is one where there is no accountability for the coaching staff. Hell, the coach picked his GM and told the owner what he would and wouldn't do before he got here.... and the owner still begged him to come here. Guess that same Owner now gets to fire them both? If it's Shanny or whatever other big name is begged to come here, it just doesn't matter. We have a clown running the show who doesn't know the first thing about organizational leadership.

You hire a GM, then you hold their asses (GM and coach that GM hires) accountable every step of the way. You don't hang out with them for Thursday Tea or vacation with them in the Bahamas, because its not appropriate. You sit down with them (coach and GM) midway through the season and at the end of the season and assess their performance to the goals that you set for them when you hired them.

Can you please EMail this to Redskins' Park?

[USS Redskins]

Fire the whole crew. Shanny, son of Shanny, Allen, haslett... The 3-4.

Hire a real GM and stop hiring old retreads.

This crew has a worse record than zorn and Vinny.

[Bishop Hammer]

See Norv Turner and the Chargers...

Whooo dawg please don't be saying that name around here. Norv is a four letter word in these part. :-)

His contract is up.. can go where he chooses.

I'm not sure how or why though - sure there are prospective head coaching vacancies, but he'd be the 3rd youngest HC hire ever, and the 2nd and 1st youngest HC hires have been fairly large disasters for their former teams. And I don't see why he'd make a lateral move to another team, a team that doesn't have RGIII.

Rumored Bruce Arians to Philly. That would give Kyle a chance to work with the next best thing not named Robert.

no is going to turn down a HC position...no coordinator wants to be just a coordinator his whole career

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Nobody would offer him a HC job most likely, certainly not after a 6-10 or 7-9 season. The last two under 35 HC hires have kind of flamed out badly.

Teams won't be looking at his W-L record...only his offensive rankings

I just hate that we're having this conversation again.

Why can't things go our way for once...

Dammit!
