redskins0756 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Marshall,Cutler,Royal,Cladyor Thomas,Cambell,Kelly,Rinehart Hmmmm? Except you also forgot his atrocious defense that he hand picked. He will want a full GM position and with his history of drafting defensive players, I don't know that we want to be the that type of team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins0756 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 No, we need continuity on the staff. I'm all for letting Danny Smith go and maybe a couple of others, but we need the same philosophy for a few years. Thank you. Someone with sanity on this board I thought I was the only one who didn't support this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins0756 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I would fire Zorn immediately to get Shanahan. Of all of todays coaches, he reminds me more of Gibbs 1. :doh: You are degrading Joe Gibbs with that type of idiotic statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Watching the Broncos' press conference, it really seems like Shanahan is a solid person and would come in with some authority. I'm not advocating it or anything, but it wouldn't bother me. He'd come in potentially much more hungry than a coach that went out on top (Cowher) with a chip on his shoulder.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 He needs a year away at least and he is no Talent evaluator GM wise If he takes a year away, it sounds like we'll have an opportunity to pick between Cowher and Shanahan if Zorn doesn't straighten it out in 2009.

redskin faithful Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Then he should be GM as well. Make Vinny his assistant.Make Jim Zorn the Offensive Coordinator ???? What do you guys think I wish he would've been available this time last year. Shanahan is a great coach. But I would hate to see another change at our coaching postion. We do need a real GM and he would be perfect. Get on the phone Snyder, make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinFaninOKC Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 The Redskins should Fire Zorn ASAP and Hire Mike Shanahan ASAP.PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zorn hasn't wore out his welcome. Even though it won't happen I would like to see Shanahan as the O.C. The problem would be what coach the players would perceive as Head Coach. MS has two Super Bowl rings. Maybe MS is humble enough to take a back seat to Zorn. MS could call it his "year off" from the pressure of being the HC.

NavyDave Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm saying no to the move despite the fact...... http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story?id=09000d5d80835368&template=with-video&confirm=true Wedding bells Now that the NFL Draft is complete, coaches and players are making spring and summer plans. But few people have anything planned any more notable than Broncos coach Mike Shanahan’s plans this weekend. Shanahan confirmed Wednesday on NFL Network that he and his wife, Peggy, are two of the approximate 200 people invited to the wedding of Jenna Bush, daughter of United States president George Bush. Shanahan’s daughter, Krystal, also will attend, and she is the connection between the two distinguished families. Krystal Shanahan and Jenna Bush met as students at the University of Texas. They became so friendly that they actually shared an apartment in New York City. As the daughters became friendly, so did their parents. Mike Shanahan even once made an appearance at President Bush’s campaign rally at Red Rocks in Colorado. Now the Shanahans will see the Bushs again this weekend, in Crawford, Texas, at the Wedding of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvan Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I love Jim Zorn BUT Mike Shanahan is a PROVEN winner that will turn this franchise around. I really believe he would. I would bet on it. Joe Gibbs was also a proven winner but didn't get the ship completely turned around. The FO is always going to take it in the wrong direction.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARPATH '82 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 No no no. With the current FO structure, Vince Lombardi couldn't win here. LOL...thats putting it politely, but many would agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2Washington Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Elway was getting to superbowls with garbage at receiver and running back. enter ALEX GIBBS and his borderline chopblocking scheme and an excellent runningback and back to back titles though the Packers should have won one of those.BTW Alex Gibbs took that style to the Falcons a few years ago. I'm sure you'd agree that getting there and winning Super Bowls are two different things. Also that 6th round steal at RB Shanahan found was a pretty big help but hey the guy doesn't draft well. Again not saying Shanny should come here just tired of fans that act as if Shanahan is a bum coach that got lucky in Den and has no eye for talent.

bonhommelemec Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 someone who will be aggressive with the playcalling. I have always thought that he would be an ideal coach for the Redskins. Maybe Snyder will get bold and make the move!! I would rather have Shanahan than Cowher. Let's trade for Tom Brady if it doesn't involve a first rounder (haha)!

The way Zorn, Saunders, and Gibbs all kinda regressed / slid over time to a conservative offense have me thinking it's more our personnel than the play calling. I know it's in jest, but yeah Brady would be nice if you could count on him for a few years, but lots of teams would want him if he was, and the Patriots aren't going to let him go cheap.

skinfan2k Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Seriously, as you saw from Gibbs/Saunders, I really think its the personnel. By playing conservative, you limit mistakes and wont get blown out. We dont have a dynamic offense or any true playmakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By playing conservative, you limit mistakes and wont get blown out. We dont have a dynamic offense or any true playmakers That's exactly right. We don't have dominate players outside of Portis on Offense so we have no choice but to play Ravens style of football. Problem is we don't have a good defense like the Ravens do to protect the failings on offense so we remain inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
