Well, it's a no win situation if the goal is to not be criticized by anyone, but if the goal is to get it right and do the best thing to help the Redskins win, it's an easy and obvious decision.
Shanahan is a legendary coach for his accomplishments with the Denver Broncos, but he's been very forgettable here. The Broncos were making an aggressive move to fire the most successful coach in their franchise history. Shanahan hasn't even been the most successful Redskins coach of the Snyder era.
