ThePreciating Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Interestingly enough, blame has flown to Haslett, Kyle Shanahan, DeAngelo Hall, Trent Williams, and a host of others for the mistakes the Redskins have made this season. Lost in this is the fact that the fan base seems to really believe in our head coach. I have to admit, I have an agenda with this poll. I want everyone to step back and realize we have a coach who has us on the right path. We don't need to win every game right now. We are building a young talent base, and that's 95% due to the man in charge, Mike Shanahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I probably would have voted for the 75% option except I don't see his treatment of Haynesworth or ANYTHING dealing with Grossman as a demerit against Shanahan.

ThePreciating Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yeah, I had to go with a generic description for what each approval rating might mean. That may have been a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'd go with 85-90% given a broader range of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did vote 75% and agree that his treatment of Haynesworth, Mcnabb, or picking Grossman are not downsides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieskin Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 How could anyone not be 100% behind Mike, I havent felt this good about the skins in a long time, he has cleared the dead and rotting wood out and replaced it with good quality lumber this franchise is on the way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraofSkins08 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Barring something catastrophic, he's here for at least the next 4 years. So whoever hates him, get used to it. IMO, I love what he's doing to our franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 100%. i have agreed with nearly every move he has made. and in hindsight, almost every move he has made has been the right move. remember the state of this franchise when he took over: DC was where players came to get paid, bad depth, bad qb, few draft picks, a weak defense, non existant offense.. we were headed for 5 more years of being in the cellar. shanny has changed that very quickly. we wont be winning a superbowl anytime soon, but we are a respectable franchise now.

The Bounty Hunter #21 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 100% according to me. We can list specific mistakes that have been made circa last year but I lack a reason not to be 100% behind Shanny. Kyle Shanahan? Uh not so much to be perfectly honest with you.

SWVASkinFan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 No..absolutely not. Bring back Cerrato and Zorn!! Seriously...is there any question? 100% behind Shanahan (Please don't flame me...that sentence at the top is sarcasm for those who can't tell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_friend_goo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 As the first person to have voted for 50%, allow me to explain my logic: I'll give him a clean slate after last year - you can't turn over an entire roster in 1 year. So far I like what I've seen this year, the draft strategy impressed me, the free agent signings were the right kind to make. The culture change is another important thing and can only benefit the team. Yet, many of the issues so far this season are a case of "same old redskins", particularly the poor red zone efficiency - the ability to move the ball but not consistently come away with touchdowns, more frequently getting a field goal and even coming away with nothing has been a painful issue for so long. There's been enough turnover on the roster that even the deep-rooted issues should be less prevalent. That said, I know this team is young, they're going to make mistakes and they need more time together. They need to improve over the season and look better in week 17 than they did in week 1 against the Giants (ok, maybe week 3, but you get the overall idea of improvement). Then, they need to play the offseason just as well as they did this year. I've frequently seen flashes that the Redskins were improving, but they turned out to be fleeting. That's why I'm taking this season one game at a time, seeing what can be taken from each game, but not allowing myself to get too carried away. In short, I believe a coach like Shanahan is the right choice to put this team back on track and I'll support him as long as he makes the decisions that erase the pain of much of the past 20 years. Still makes me nervous and that's going to be something that can only be overcome gradually with each genuine sign that this team is getting better.

Lavarleap56 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Im definatly on board and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 100% ... Excellent moves the last two years of shedding a lot of bad players/characters/age from the roster. IMO A+ draft this past year (went from 4 picks to 12 ! Slam dunk #16 overall pick Ryan Kerrigan a high motor, hard working, athletic monster/playmaker/character guy), great free agency bringing in younger/hungry/character/playmakers like Cofield, Bowen, Wilson, Atogwe... Absolutely on board. There still is a lot of work to be done (franchise QB, big playmaking WR, ILB, OL)... Competing every game... This franchise hit rock bottom in 2009 with years of absolutely awful personnel decisions... Shanahan got a bad rap his first year in town after being handed an AWFUL aging roster full of aging stars (Portis) or just guys who didnt wanna be here (Rogers)... He hasn't made 100% great decisions (McNabb) but no man gets it right all the time... Getting Haynesworth out of here, wow, what a huge difference that makes... 100% on board.

XEL Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I believe in him, but voted 75% because personally, I don't like Grossman. But that's just me. It's why he's head coach and I'm just a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I did vote 75% and agree that his treatment of Haynesworth, Mcnabb, or picking Grossman are not downsides Me, too. I voted 75% because well, he obviously hasn't made the paloffs, let alone the SB, yet, but so far I'm very happy. I think that 90% is probably a good number.

SAP_Pete Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Voted 100%, but would have gone with 90% if available. Fat Al and McNugget have shown on their new teams that Shanahan was right to get rid of them. Grossman, meh. We will see. I'm feeling better about the Skins than I have for a long time, thanks to Shanahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rk3025 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Still put Gibbs above him because of the little things like kickers, conditioning for hamstrings and several type of shoes and cleats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2Washington Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I went 50% The horrible trade for McNabb, Haynesworth fiasco, ridiculous FA moves and bringing in his Son to run the offense are big issues. I do however love the overall franchise progress I have seen after one year. If we continue on the current path and have another strong off season I will be much happier with Shanahan.

SkinsHokieFan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am very happy with the job Shanahan has done. I know this team is far from a finished product. Its probably 2 years away from being a serious contender. But damn are things looking up quickly. Think about where we were 2 years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I voted for the 75% option, as I'm not 100% happy with everything he's done, even this past off-season into this year. But that 75% would probably be bumped up to around the 85/ 90% mark if the option were there on the overall job he's done which I'm real happy with, and wouldn't want anyone else here in place of him. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am with the 80-90% crowd. I would be higher if he called more plays on offense and teach Kyle a thing or two. But at least I am hopeful again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
