RWJ Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Shanny's only going to Buffalo to drive up his price. TK, you've thrown out to many bones. We should all know that Shanahan's the man in 2010. It's a forgone conclusion. Personally, with what's out there I think he fits best here in DC than any other HC available. We have a decent DF and OF is what is needed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 parcells anywhere near B&G is blasphemy! Parcells, Shanahan, Holmgren -- what is the fascination with proven mediocrities? All three have had their chances and have proven that they can't compete with Belichick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 No way that Buffalo has the talent to entice or the ability to offer the quid that Shanahan would want in order for him to move to Buffalo. If Dannyboy offers him the job, the $$ and at least the opportunity to buy some of his own groceries, he's as good as here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Who do you believe will be the HC next year?And what about a GM? And QB? Cerrato, Zorn and Campbell are my front runners:D Just kidding. I have no idea. I'm just hoping we don't end up with a name off the usual suspect list for the HC or GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 But to get him, Snyder would have to remove himself from the table. And this is not likely to happen. I'm convinced the owner would rather lose his way, then win with one he can't claim credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo, the job has already been offered to him, I believe. We flew down to Denver back a couple of months ago and it was probably to discuss the GM/HC job with Shanahan. Snyder is going to offer him whatever he wants to coach this team. The only thing I don't like is that Vinzio will probably have an office position with the team since he and Shanahan are friends. The only thing that will make the situation tolerable is that Shanahan will be calling the shots, not Vinzio. The one thing that I do like is that Shanahan will bring Jr. with him. I think he has alot of potential. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Apparently, we agree on the GM. As for the list of coaches, recycling old names isn't the only option. Not that these two would do it, but every year there is a list of hot new candidates that are available and who should be considered. I would be willing to see a new and hungry coach try to build a franchise...with a GM. To look at these coaches alone as the "1000% better option" is the same mistake the Dynamic Duo would make. I'll pass. Thanks. I think we're saying the same thing actually. If the front office is willing to turn control over to a GM (not named Vinny) then I don't care who that guy picks as a head coach. However, to me, the next best option out there is to get a hybrid GM/head coach with enough star power to put the owner in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimeDeCurry Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Parcells, Shanahan, Holmgren -- what is the fascination with proven mediocrities?All three have had their chances and have proven that they can't compete with Belichick. Of course, Belichick has proven that he can't compete with Belichick unless he has this guy named Brady on his side. He's easily the most overrated coach in the league. Belichick has a .78% winning percentage with Brady as his quarterback, and is 14-3 in the postseason, going 3-1 in four Super Bowl appearances. With someone under center who doesn't have the last name of Brady, he has a .41% winning percentage, and is 1-1 in the postseason. For comparison, Jim Zorn's current winning percentage (.46%) with the Redskins is better than Belichick's without Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big "Pimpin" Chief Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 parcells would fix us in a snap...but he did coach the cowboys...*growl*...can we let that slide? or should we swallow our pride and get better so we sweep the cowboys for years to come? -Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I love how some posters here completely ignore the fact that Parcells has resurrected lost franchises his whole career. Nooooo...don't want anything along those lines here. Let's keep the Dan and Vinny show,seeing as how it's so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasSucks19922010 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Since this is so true, I HAD to quote it. As soon as DS decides he wants to win over selling merchandise, we will be MUCH better off.But then, it's his team and he can do as he wishes. Maybe he will find out that winning sells merchandise better than signing big free agents. Ive seen a lot of caps gear lately, I wonder why.

stickyshooZ Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I don't think Parcells could co-exist with Snyder. He'd have no control and he'd probably never go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It would be interesting to see how Bill would handle things with the Redskins. Depending on what kind of control he would have of course. He's a no nonsense guy who's been there done that when it comes to football. I'm betting there would be some interesting surprises to say the least.

wildbill1952 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Parcells is negotiating from strength. He has a job and will not let Danny maintain control if he comes. Shanahan negotiates from weakness. He's looking for a job. If he comes in, Snyder dictates the course, from whether the D is too vanilla, to picking personnel, like nixing the thought of drafting a guard to get Ramsey. In the final analysis, it's Dan Snyder's team. He made a lot of money and he's got the ego to show for it. No one tells him how to run things. The Skins are his toy to do with as he pleases. Even if it means driving the franchise into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Of course, Belichick has proven that he can't compete with Belichick unless he has this guy named Brady on his side. He's easily the most overrated coach in the league. If Tom Brady had been drafted in the sixth round in 2001 by the Saints, as Marc Bulger was, and Bulger drafted by Belichick, you'd be proclaiming Bulger a first-round HOF candidate now.

RIPSean Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Personally, I love Parcells. I loved to hate him when he was in Dallas. But I respect the guy a ton as a coach or executive or whatever the he'll he wants to do. The guy is an old school, hard ass football genius and he would bring this team the discipline and personnel direction it has been lacking. He wasn't terrible in Dallas, even with JJ meddling and the circus that comes with TO, Romo sits to pee, and the distinction of being involved in that team in general. He's proven himself many times an I'd prefer Parcells over most of the big names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Having the opportunity to acquire Bill Parcells, and not taking it because he doesn't want to give up control, would have to rate as the single dumbest decision Snyder has made in a decade. The not so hidden message of the article is that if Snyder remains Snyder....THIS FRANCHISE WILL NEVER IMPROVE TO CHAMPIONSHIP STATUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV aka TeeVeli aka BAMBAM30 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Imo the best possibly thing that could happen to this team would be if snyder gave up all his control for a year, and put parcells in charge as GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Parcells specializes in the quick turnaround season followed by nothing. How interesting is that? Yes...not nearly as interesting/successful as the phenomenal performance a dwindling redskin fanbase has been subjected to over the last decade of GROSS FO INCOMPETENCE & EGOTISM.
