Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Shanahan is an innovative offensive guy. He can get a run game working wth no name backs. He was an early adopter on the whole zone read craze. Just because he's over 40 doesn't mean he's not innovative. Yes, he's so innovative he almost got RGIII killed. When that failed, he held Griffin out of every preseason game the following season but started him in the opener (smart move); and almost got him killed again. Just what we need, the losing "big name coach" created by John Elway.
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Shanny had his day but at this point I'd prefer the next generation of someone like him (Bevell, Malzahn). I am not all that sold on Kyle or the package deal in general. If you end up needing to replace one, you need to replace both. I'm also more content with Whaley, which I imagine is a pretty good litmus test for where people stand on the Shanny arrangement. Yes, he's so innovative he almost got RGIII killed.

Also, Jake Plummer and Brian Griese. Last note on Shanny from Wiki, just because it's amazing: In 1994 while coaching for the 49ers, Shanahan added to the ongoing feud between him and Raiders owner Al Davis when he had then QB Elvis Grbac throw a football at Davis' head.
