How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?

During these final three games, I will not disrupt his management of the team or the lockerroom he has assembled. As in any year, once the season has concluded, I will evaluate the product put on the field by those I entrust to do so and make my decisions on the team's future accordingly."

The only response after that is "It's Mike's team. I do not interfere in his decisions".

If Dan can keep a cool head throughout this, I think he can do a lot to retrieve his reputation and demonstrate that a coach will be well supported here, even in tough times. Unlike in the past, I think Shanny's machinations are pretty transparent to "the Media". Maybe that is just wishful thinking.

Who knows ... Shanahan's little sh** show may, ultimately, wind up being the best thing for the Skins in while.

I see the logic in this approach and it may be the right way. But boy would I want to drop a pipe bomb on Shanny's little plan. Hard to do though since DS doesn't have a lot of good will built up in the media.
