Around SBN: Auto Racer Jeffrey Earnhardt Excited to Make MMA Debut

According to league sources, all Mike Shanahan has to do is sign the contract Washington has already drawn up for him and he'll be more than $50 million richer. I guess anything is better than Zorn, right?

Mikey was 24-24 in his last three season with the Broncos. Have fun with the Redskins.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

I don't like this one bit

This bodes very badly for us. Cerrato was the best thing the Redskins ever did for the Eagles. Th change in philosophy and hiring of Shanahan… we better look out.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

all that needs to be said, really

if i were shanny, i would have it explicitly spelled out in my contract that snyder has no input into player/personnel moves.

but this will never happen.

Whatever, vince lombardi can coach the foreskins and they will still suck

agree

they need A LOT more than just a new coach – they are a few years away from being a major threat again

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him. - Bruce Lee

In fact he DID coach them

And they still sucked.

BREAKING NEWS

Redskins purchase the emirate of Dubai in blockbuster deal.

When will Dan Snyder learn that throwing money at a problem doesn’t always work. He spent a lot this offseason and they were still horrible this year. Maybe if there was some sort of coaching continuity he wouldn’t have this problem. Just like Oakland.

Eventually...throwing a lot of money at something does work...

He’d just have to buy all the other teams in the league and tell them to lose.

Whatever. He’ll get fired after two seasons for producing a mediocre team that’s a result of horrible management beginning at the top.

Also worth mentioning is this: Look at all the garbage Shanahan drafted when he was with the Broncos.

Now all they have to do

is get Dan Snyder to quit interfering with how the team is run, or Shanahan will be just another in a series of figurehead coaches. Good luck with that.

by EANX33 on Jan 2, 2010 9:20 AM EST reply actions  

I love this hire. After losing John Elway, what the fuck did Mike Shanahan ever do? SQUAT. In fact, he engineered one of the great late season collapses that led to his firing. He just had to win one game out of 3 to make the playoffs last year. ONE FUCKING GAME OUT OF 3. He couldn’t do it.

Fuck Mike Shanahan and that one dead, lazy eye of his. I’m more worried about Dallas for the next couple years, honestly. Good luck with those cancers D’Angelo Hall and Haynesworth, btw.

by ghostofandrewatters on Jan 2, 2010 11:41 AM EST reply actions  

Shanny is a good coach

The Redskins have a very talented defense, if they just got an offense that could put up 20-24 ponits a game they would be pretty damn good. Haynesworth, Orakpo, Fletcher, the y have some damn good players. A few moves here and there and they could at least be an 8-8 or 9-7 team easy

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

by Joe_D on Jan 2, 2010 11:55 AM EST reply actions  

Marty Schottenheimer and Norv Turner and Bill Callahan all out-couched Shanahan. He’s better than Zorn, but he’s a retread. I’m not worried about him. He’s the guy that thought Jay Cutler was the second coming of Elway.

is the contract a lot compared to other head coaches?

by tat167 on Jan 2, 2010 2:22 PM EST reply actions  

Shanny is a good coach, but I think he proved in Denver that he can’t build a winning team (and that was with no intervention from the owner, unlike in Wash with Jerry Jr.). The Skins will be better than they were this year, but nobody was expecting them to be this bad anyway.

HAHAHAHAHA

whoever said that about Randle El being a used condom…i spit out my drink!!! Dude, that was the funniest thing ive read in a looong time!! Nice work on that one!! hahahahahahahaha
