Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
What hole? No salary cap on coaches -- it's DS' money, and he can spend it any way he wants... Not a lot of resistance to hiring Shanahan on this site or anywhere around town. So who really cares about money for coaches?

Why? That makes no sense. Will we not be able to ever hire a coach again?

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
Some of you guys kill me with the whinning, This guy is proven, he will make us a contender, his Offensive mine is never i question, has never been, he only has been out for 1 year, and you are worth whatever you can get.... any doubt that he knows how to make the best out of average players, Look a Cutler, he looks average now without Shanahan, mike bell is a back up in N.O. Clinton portis, has been solid, but never that top running back we thought he was at Denver.... Please let the man come in and do his magic.....

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
why? Snyder is loaded to the gills, and has already proven he will spend money.

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
Plus, he wants to win. It's worth the money to finally succeed as an owner. I'm sure we won't be whining about the money as Shanahan is hoisting the Lombardi.

in the worst-case scenario with shanahan, we're trading a perennial top 10 defense for a perennial top 10 offense. We'll also have a team run by someone who is an unquestioned leader. I am still adamant that Cowher is a far superior coach to Shanahan and we should be doing everything possible to sign him instead. That said, locking Shanahan up for 5 years and making it next to impossible for Snyder to grow impatient and fire him early is "the next best thing." its certainly a step in the right direction.

If Shanahan is your "worst case scenario", I'd say you're in for quite a disappointment. |

During play offs Cowher has a .75% and Shanahan has a .625%. So Cowher also played more games. roughly about 10 more games during the regular season and 8 more in play off situations. Cowher has 8 more games to work with in the play offs he should have a better % then Shanahan. During regular season Cohwer had a .615% and Shanahan had a .650%. Cowher had like 10 more games. He should have a better % but didn't during the regular season. Shanahan has won 3 SB's Quote:

I'm warming to the idea of Shanahan. I'm atleast giving it the idea it will work. As opposed to Zorn which I was unsure about and a lot of people were all excited about cause he was supposed to be the no name up and commer. The next JG's. Yeah. |

Cowher has more playoff games to work with in the scenario because he actuall WON playoff games and could ummm... whats the word?... ADVANCE in the playoffs. Shanahan had just as many "opportunities" yet he didn't capitalize on them. Cowher got BETTER as his career progressed. Shanahan got worse.

I think it's funny. I wanted Shottenheimer and every said no he sucks he can't get past the Championship round. But you'll take Cowher who can't simply cause he offers more chances? Shottenheimer offered more chances also but he supposedly sucked. |

As i stated over and over again, cowhers teams not only made the playoffs more times than shanahan (66% of the time vs 47%), but when his teams made the playoffs, they actually won games. shanahan didnt. there's an even greater disparity if you look at just the last 3, 5 and 10 years. Shanahan had most of his success early in his career. cowher had more success recently. its a "what have you done for me lately" league and cowhers done MUCH more lately. Both are better than Zorn, but Cowher is immensely better than Shanahan.

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
i think statements like this, or "its not even debateable that cowher is better than shanahan" come off as ignorant.
