Shanahan, Anyone?


Recommended Posts

Would I be mad if we got him... No

I am just throwing out names that I haven't seen mentioned. Seems like the majority of the board want to elevate a coordinator, which certainly could work. While Shanahan was, in the end, pretty shady up here, I believe he found the relationship with Snyder to be fairly toxic. He did make Alfred Morris a household name.

I think he quit once his hatred for Snyder was complete, around the time of the 2012 draft I would say.

He will for sure get his feelings crushed here. Nothing will never break the bond between Blank and Ryan. Ryan will own several Home Depots after retirement...

Good coaches ten years ago on necessarily make good coaches in today's NFL. Shanahan is all about running and that's not the key anymore

The first sentence I agree with, although I would add that great coordinators don't necessarily make good coaches either. Either way can work, or both can fail.

The second sentence I disagree with. Running the ball will always be a key. Just because some teams can succeed to some degree without it doesn't mean it isn't a key.

First Coughlin now Shanahan? Who are you going to make a thread for next? Jimmy Johnson? Barry Alvarez?

I don't want any of the retreads, but of all the ones mentioned, I'd take Jimmy Johnson. I always thought he was one of the best at in game adjustments and was hail on wheels at half time adjustments. He was also pretty crafty in a war room. Maybe he could engineer another Herschel trade using Julio this time.

Shannahan is a case study in why you don't want to bring a Cowher or Dungy or Gruden out of the studio. When the game passes you by the results are only apparent on the field.

I agree on Cowher, Dungy, and Gruden. However, while the game may, in fact, have passed Shanahan by, the on-field performance of the Redskins during his tenure as HC was indicative of lots of organizational problems, not necessarily his ability to coach or draft.

I live in Northern Virginia, I believe most of his problems here came from the Shanny/Griffin/Snyder dynamic, which resulted in him coaching to get fired at the end of 2013. A great mind for the running game; Antone and Freeman could probably both be 1000 yard backs in his offense. Any takers?

Kyle Shanahan, yes!I was thinking about this yesterday. All we need is strong DC.
