We can finally see things more objectively....
Perhaps....perhaps....Haynesworth isn't the antichrist we thought he was....and Devin Thomas and Dockery? maybe...."possibly" Shanny "maybe" could have made a mistake there too?
Let's not always drink the kool-aid when we get a new coach guys.
And Bruce Allen aint God either....he is a GM...an average one...yes better than pure crap...but an average one.
You can generally believe patterns of people to continue.
Shanny to be an ego-maniac, Hasslet to produce 20th ranked defenses, Allen to be average, McNabb to be hot and cold and have occassional irratic accuracy.
So Shanny won 2 SB's....remember they fired the guy too...and there just as much reason for that as there was for Philly trading us McNabb.
I don't know of another SB winning coach that was ever fired...these current actions certainly are consistant with his past M.O.
Don't get me wrong...I still think he is rock solid...he can just be a jerk sometimes and who wants a boss who is a jerk?

Some noteworthy observations you make. The current is the 4th incoming HC I've taken the leisure to discuss on this forum since becoming a member. Spurrier, Gibbs, Zorn and now Shanahan. Upon their entrance they were all anointed and ordained by many with the prospect of making life better for the Redskin faithful. [The old stand-by] Joe Gibbs came closest to delivering on any of the hopeful expectations.
What's most interesting is when you go back and view the comments made when they entered as opposed to the one's made when they exited. I really don't expect this HC to be any different.
I don't recall under what terms Brian Billick left Baltimore or Tom Flores left Oakland but you're right in stating SB coaches don't get fired, they usually leave of their own volition.
