Of course this would IMO only depend on how this season unfolds. Your early thoughts on Shanahan.
Do you think the SKINS make a play for him next season. With all the recent Cutler noise it certainly makes you wonder if he isn't already in the forefront of Dan's thinking/hiring OR wish list process?
And does Zorn really have a fair chance to succeed here in DC?
Your thoughts?
Shanahan Eventually To Surface With ‘Skins?

As the
Washington Redskins
continue to prepare for the second year of the Jim Zorn era, we’re hearing ongoing chatter that, come 2010, the head coach of the team will be former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.
Of course, the ‘Skins might not end up getting a clear shot at Shanahan. With Cowboys coach Wade Phillips entering the final year of his contract and a new deal unlikely, Jerry Jones likely will be looking for a new head coach, too.
In the end, Shanahan’s final destination might come down to money. Specifically, the question will be the extent to which any team is willing to exceed the $7 million that Shanahan is due to receive from the Broncos regardless of whether he works next season.
So maybe, just maybe, the team’s flirtation with USC quarterback
Mark Sanchez has less to do with making an impact in 2009, and more to do with helping set the table for Shanahan in 2010.
