edit: Add in the fact he'd be looking for "salary cap space" to compete in free agency would be a resounding FUCK NO on the Shanahan option. He'd blow it all and leave you fucked for years after it falls apart.

Getting mixed signals here -- are you saying it's a good idea to give him a blank check? (Ha.) I agree with this assessment. Candidly, I don't think he was terribly effective as a coach either. The 2012 run we made came after he said that we were probably out of the playoffs, and the players took it upon themselves to step up. While folks speculated that maybe Shanny was giving them motivation, I thought it was more a moment of candor. So the best of the Redskins was arguably inspired by his over-sharing.
Anyway, moving on....
I am excited to see what Gruden can do.
