Should Mike Shanahan Be Canonized?

CultBrennan59 · 11-18-2012, 10:29 PM

If we win next week it will be "We need to lock up Mike Shanahan for the next couple of years"

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the idea of giving a guy a five year contract, swearing to be patient knowing the job may take five years, and then wanting to fire him halfway thru his contract because the job isn't done yet.

Sorry. The game was rather a bore. Sure, a couple of long passes... but, really, who would enjoy play calling like that?

Personally I want to see progress at the midway point - otherwise I want to cut my losses and start fresh while my prize posession - RG-3 is still a spring chicken. Maybe not your take on the situation but its not mind boggling that the 5 win seasons are making people wonder if it was a good hire is it? This all however is a discussion for another thread. This thread is about how we are going to honor Mike for that friggin big win today against the birds! We manage a win on turkey day and couple that with a Gints loss to the Packers and the Redskins are playing for the division lead on MNF against the Giants! - AWESOME

Can we re-open the phoenix? This one kind of fizzled out.

When we beat Dallas. Twice. This year. Then.

This is thread of the year.. Did you see his post game speech? I mean, people say he doesn't have an impact in the locker room just show their bleeding ignorance. He is a motivator..

GridIron26 · 12-10-2012, 06:55 PM

Interesting insights on our coaches.

Can't help but like Shanahan. At least a little bit.

I really wanted to bump the "Should Mike be fired thread" but it's locked. Would of loved to re-live all those glorious opinions from the torch lighters who now are the same people rocking Mike Shanahan T-shirts

Hey I was on board to let ms go after 3-6 but I was wrong! He's done a great job

Dare I say Shanahan could get some coach of the year consideration if we win out and take the east.
