What?

 

I thought same thing but I think he is talking about Shanahan in Washington

 

And no he won't be fired, has built in excuse of RG3 coming off injury

Posted

I am guessing OP is referring to Shanahan getting canned this week. I highly doubt that is a possibility, if every team that got blown out by Denver fired their coach Dick Jauron would be coaching by week 15.

They won't fire Shanny yet but anyone can see it is 1 or 2 year away max and this little push won't end with even 1 playoff victory this year or next.

Based on what? Shanny s a fine coach. That RG3 trade is crippling their defense but Shannahan is in no danger

 

that and being penalized ridiculous amounts of cap space due to the uncapped year fiasco.

 

traded away cheap good players, and cant afford vets to fill the holes til next year.

Shanny will not be fired, but I think it is quite possible he decides not to come back next year. That Skins team has a lot of holes, and I rather doubt he has the patience to wait two or three drafts to get a team together. He may pull the plug so he can give the job to his son….

On Kirwins show yesterday,Laura Okmin (reporter i think for Fox..she was great)who said no pressure on Shanny at all. However, the media may be turning on RGIII just a bit.

He may be in more danger now. The trade for RG3 was smart in the sense they got their guy, but if EJ turns into a good starter and we got Kiko and Woods too, who got the better deal?

 

History says the team with the great starter got the better deal.

 

Obviously, Manuel is kind of an awkward mess right now compared to guys like RGIII, Luck, Kaepernick and Wilson. But I think teams liked his mental make-up the way the Giants liked Phil Simms when they drafted him long ago. Simms never had the ceiling of the great QB's of the day, but he turned into an elite game manager/leader. That may end up being EJ's ceiling........and if Whaley surrounds him with great talent that may be enough. That hasn't been the case for the past decade......great QB's are winning the SB's.....but there is no rule that says you can't win one without an elite QB. But unfortunately it is not easy to keep talented teams together the way it was in the 1980's so in the long term.....chances are the team with the better QB gets more shots at making the playoffs/winning SB's.

Shanahan is safe. Redskins fans are still enamored with the name and past success that he had with the Broncos. Their fans get that their defense is on the old side and can only play one half of a football game. They'll make moves to reload the D this coming offseason and see how it goes next year. Shanahan has at least one year left before they start calling for his head.
