Remember, we arent just talking about mcnabbs performance being poor.we're talking about the manner in which it went down and how that looks to other players.

I don't have any current links or statements to prove to you, but a friend of mine said all the players (Skins) seemed to side with Shanahan and liked how things were being handled.... supposedly when asked after yesterdays game. I presume it has to do with players being treated all the same and the work hard attitude brings about playing time.
So I'm not worried about what other players think as long as they know they are no longer getting a contract with the Skins to retire. Let them contact current players and ask all the questions they want.
Also remember Tom Coughlin was called a hard nosed difficult HC also his first yr and if I remember correctly there was talk of him being fired either during his first yr or after. Look at him now. Perhaps he lightened up a little and the Shanahan's can also but I'm glad there is some hard nose coaching going on for a change. Hopefully there is no more expecting a roster spot and playing time because of all the money they make.
