HigSkin Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sign Zimmer and I'll be one happy Skins fan! http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/tag?name=mike-zimmer from Matt Mosley ESPN... I know Zimmer pretty well and I've been told by people close to him that he's excited about joining Shanahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 This is the part that scares me.It was widely considered that Shanny wasn't that good at choosing personel. It undermines Allen role as GM. My thoughts exactly. There has yet to be one coach that did both the GM and coaching job well. So, what's Allen do as GM? Negotiate contracts, feed the head coach ideas on personnel, and hire/fire the coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvarlo12000 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Glad it's done. But I would have paid him $1 million a win. what a novel idea to pay for results. This could be something of the future. What coach who believed in his philosophy would not take this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellGreenFan Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ya, well I am 100% sure that Mike Shanahan will do a better job picking players than Vinny Cerrato. Dan Snyder has the money to make sure we will have premier talent on our team. We just needed a guy like Shanahan who is capable of getting the most out of that talent.

Brotherz Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's Christmas again...we have nice shiny new toys...Offseason Superbowl Champs EVERY YEAR! :cool2: How could you possible be negative right now. If nothing else this is hope man. He's won two superbowls. There's no wondering about what he is. He is a premier NFL football coach who has brought his up and coming offenivse genius son to run our offense and by all credible reports will bring a kick ass defensive coordinator here as well. This after we fired Vinny cerratto and hired a real Gm who was NFL Executive of the year in 2002. I know its been hard. Its been hard for me too. But don't guard yourself so much that you can't hope. That's just sad. Hail. Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirClintonPortis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 You know why Bowlen is paying Shanahan money? So he can keep his friend's bio accessible on the Broncos' website!!! :rotflmao: http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=357&contentID=415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Finally good news. As a Redskins fan this makes me happy. Shanahan and his son are both superior offensive minds. Mike S will put together a staff that knows his offense and will be ready to hit the ground running. I have no doubt that if given the time and support they will fix the problems on offense. Now i'm just waiting to see what happens on defense. I can't even imagine pulling off the signing of Mike Zimmer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but this is finally some good news! This makes me happier then drafting Orakpo. Hail to the Redskins! Rick Dennison possible OL coach? Mike Zimmer possible DC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm happy we have a new coach. But at the same time, I was hoping to see an organizational structure that had a GM role which included personell evaluation and acquisition. It seems to me that there might be competing interests between the "coach" role, and the "roster builder" role. But that it was good to have this seperation of power, checks and balances type of arrangement. Coaches seem to always think they're a player away from a championship, and having a GM to think longer term (building depth) is a good thing.

Gracelander Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If you drive by Redskins Park today you can see white smoke coming from the chimneys I'm thrilled at the choice of our new coach. I'm also extremely happy about the line "Shanahan will have the ultimate authority on football decisions". Now I know about Shanahan & his son, but I know nothing about this guy "Zimmer" that is being mentioned, time for me to brush up on who he is. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
