NFL News & Rumors » Shanahan on hot seat in Washington?

If they fire Shanny after just one season in Washington then i'll be leaving after 15 years of loyalty and wont come back till Snyder is gone.

It's obvious Snyder is just running a reality show program, and not a football organization.. Anything to sell tickets.

HEY SNYDER... DID YOU EVER THINK MAYBE WINNING WILL SELL TICKETS!?

Give me a break

SirClintonPortis · 12-13-2010, 02:21 AM

Florio likes to stir the pot, but it must be difficult for Snyder not to have a little doubt with Shanahan.

That said, since Zorn got 2 years, Shanahan probably would as well, if only to avoid the bad publicity.

Dirtbag59 · 12-13-2010, 02:30 AM

There is a better chance of me winning at least 5 figures in the lottery then there is of Shanahan getting fired. This is Snyder's guy. The only coach Snyder has ever loved more than Shanahan is Gibbs.

Flat out irresponsible reporting with the reporters falling back on their favorite "well Snyder has a history of making big splashes" party line. Talk to me again in two or three years, but you'd have to be nuts to think that Shanahan would be fired after one year.

takethecake · 12-13-2010, 04:04 AM

Yeah, no way they fire him

Dirtbag59 · 12-13-2010, 04:16 AM

Here's a better more objective article
NFL.com news: Shanahan must reevaluate how he runs Washington

skinsfaninok · 12-13-2010, 06:04 AM

If he would be fired I honestly would jump ship for good.

Beemnseven · 12-13-2010, 07:07 AM

He'd sell the team before he fires Shanahan in the first year. No way this happens.

Move along.

maroonandblack30 · 12-13-2010, 07:28 AM

As crazy as it sounds I wouldn't be shocked...he fired Shotty after he finished 8-3 with Tony Banks at QB. This organization is a disaster/joke.

I almost hope Snyder does it just so I can jump ship with a good conscience.

SolidSnake84 · 12-13-2010, 07:41 AM

Heard this alot on the radio yesterday. The magic number is apparantly 5 and 11. If the skins lose out, the radio was saying that an anonymous source said Shanahan would be fired...

I dont believe it myself but with Snyder you never know.

maroonandblack30 · 12-13-2010, 07:52 AM

I just heard on the Junkies that Florio said the article was just "his speculation"

nothing from a source

So now your radio talks?

For the people who say they would jump ship save yourself the trouble and jump ship now because next year you will just find another reasin to say that again. Bye.

This team might be a laughing stock of the league, but I will be darned if I ever become a fair weather fan. I have stuck with this team through thick and thin and that isn't ever going to change. I may not invest the money into going to games each year (because I don't live close enough to do so nor do I have the money for it,) but I do invest my time on Sundays, Monday nights, and the occasional Thursday nights to watch the Redskins play. I even try to catch every preseason game being played.

I suppose some of you guys who were born in the "losing" era could find it easier to jump ship.....because there hasn't really been much to get excited about in the last 18+ years. But, for those of us who were privileged enough to watch the glory years as they were played out in the 80's and early 90's, we know and remember how it is to feel that pride for the Washington Redskins. That's why we devote all of this time arguing about coaching changes and player acquisitions. That's why we spend time on these discussion boards when we have reports that need to be in by 3 PM (yeah, I'm looking at you Skinsguy!) That pride in our team won't change for most of us. Sure, there will be a few fair weather fans that were probably not BIG fans of the team to begin with. Maybe just fans because they happen to live in "Redskins country". But, most of the rest of us will continue to support this team through all the mess that's going on, because we know at some point, somewhere, this franchise will figure things out. It might take Snyder selling the team, might take yet another coach to come in, or it might just take this current coaching staff time to right the ship.

But, most of us here believe that this team will experience those winning years again, but we just have to keep going through what we're going through now until we get to where it is that this team needs to be at. It truly is a process, and sometimes that process is not so clear to see as it translates to on field play, but I believe you do have to keep pressing on.

This team has to reverse the past decade of blunders, band-aid fixes, aging players, bad draft choices and free agency choices, and bad management from the top down. That doesn't happen within a year. May not happen within two or three years, but I believe it will happen. It really all comes down to Daniel Snyder having enough faith in Allen/Shanahan's process to rebuild the team.

Jontrem · 12-13-2010, 07:55 AM

Not going to happen, if it does instead of jumping ship I will just talk myself into it in the offseason. I swear to god being a skins fan has got to be what it is like to be a battered partner.

I just have 0 energy today now, such a bad way to lose

Longtimefan · 12-13-2010, 08:18 AM

Totally absurd. That discussion is for people lost for something to talk about.

SmootSmack · 12-13-2010, 08:40 AM

Some people believe we should have hired Gruden in the first place...but no, this isn't happening
