Report: Shanahan was ready to leave Redskins in January | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/08/report-shanahan-was-ready-to-leave-redskins-in-january/related/)

Firing someone with cause is not as simple as MF implies here, but it's probably justified in this case.

@russellmania980 As for the whole cleaning out the office thing before the Seattle game, I would be stunned. I saw no evidence of that in any way. #Redskins

1) While somewhat annoying at times, I tend to like Chris Russells reporting. I'm calling BS on this one that he was ready to leave that week and cleaned out his locker. Say what you will about Mike Shannahan, but he's professional, had the hottest team in the NFL at that point and was going into the playoffs. I don't think he was gingerly cleaning out his office so he could leave after the game.

2) This is the NFL, I'm sorry but some guys are just going to be treated differently than others. Who gives a shit if Snyder sent out security with Rg3? He IS a star. 80% of the team if you passed them in the mall most wouldn't even know who they were. Rg3 would be mobbed and isn't exactly a huge dude to take care of himself either.

3) For the Snyder said "nothing to Cousins after the Browns game" I'm calling BS on that one too. Snyder, first an foremost is a huge Redskins fan, I find it hard to believe he would go into the locker room post game on a 4 game win streak and not say congrats to a QB who just had a great game. Maybe after the Ravens game; to see the status of RG3 but I'm sorry, just don't buy it.

This report, just like the "RG3 doesn't want bad plays" report just reeks of BS to me. I mean I have no clue one way or another; but it just seems so far out there that I can't believe it.

I will say, I believe when there is smoke there is fire, and I'm not stupid enough to think things are all good at Redskins Park, and I think Shanny is gone after this season; but I don't really buy into this one.

True but what if it was Snyder that was pushing for the trade? Rumors keep popping up that Shanahan wanted Tannehill and keep the picks.

That's not true. I'll try to respond to this thread later today when I have more time

When is the time going to come where we're not the Dramaskins? So sick and tired of this crap.

When we start winning and somebody in the FO starts realizing what the meaning of professionalism is.

When we are 8-8 or better for more that one year, this team is garbage and is surrounded by garbage. It's getting harder and harder to be a fan of this team.

ESPN is also reporting that gruden will stay at least one more season on Mnf.

All of this drama seems to center around one person, RG3. He's become biggger than the team. It's like to damn soap opera. The players have to be so sick of this shit.

This reeks of a Shanahan camp plant. Give a reason for Snyder to make a move or a cover for him to negotiate his way out of town. I was in favor of and a defender of Shanahan for his tenure but he's a bit of a drama queen as well.

The Snyder angle has some merit, I'm sure. He's a fan boy til the end so it's not surprising but I'm not buying everything in the story as pure fact.

Easy target, don't believe everything you read.
