I gave him a straight up C. Personally, I don't think he will be here past 2012, and that isn't an indictment of him or his coaching. The bad moves by Redskins Park continue even with a new GM/HC. Bringing in a Pro Bowl QB behind a terrible line was sheer stupidity. WE all thought it was JC, but the line even makes Donovan look real bad. Not trying to exonerate Donovan from his crappy play, but damn, he doesn't have a decent line or Wr corp. How can a QB excel? Bradford has a better line that Donovan, and probably just as good of a WR corp. I think Shanny is an above average coach, who won two SBs with a stacked deck, playing in the weakest division in the NFL. Even post Elway he had a load of talent, but didn't do much with it. He will skip town out of frustration as there simply are too many holes to fill. You have to also wonder how many of the quality players are going to want to stay with this circus for the remainder of their careers.
