Mike Shanahan reiterating what's been said many times before Snyder wanted McNabb. Allen made it work. Shanahan wasn't too keen on any of it

michael phillips ‏@michaelpRTD 1m1 minute ago

I lied. Shanahan said he was unhappy with terms of Donovan McNabb trade, but "Bruce had the leeway to orchestrate the deal."

Stay classy Shanahan. No need to mention Kyle was lobbying for McNabb. I liked your plan of rolling with Beck and Grossman and staking your reputation on them.

[HapHaszard]

Emmanual Benton ‏@Manny_PPI 2m2 minutes ago

Shanahan used “we” a lot when discussing the RG3 trade. But notes had they known about the cap penalty, they wouldn’t have made the move

Gary Fitzgerald ‏@GaryRFitzgerald 13s14 seconds ago

So Mike Shanahan had final say on #Redskins roster decisions -- but not really. I believe it, but surprised Shanahan went along w/ this.

[Jumbo]

It's very popular on ES to believe Mike S is just a big liar. I'm not one of those people. I don't like his persona, never have,  and know he is capable of all  sorts of less the forthright behaviors, but much of what he has said and still says fits other evidence, reason, rational analysis and makes sense to me. I think much of what he says that people have labeled lies and spite may have been right about the spite via built-up anger and frustration, but not so much the "lies" part.

Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980 2m2 minutes ago

Mike Shanahan on @ESPNRadio980 "He's gonna have to really commit" is what he told other management about RG III. Knew pocket skills 4-5 yrs

I don't blame him for everything that happened during his tenure here, but I'm not going to pretend he didn't have a part in it. What is interesting to me is that so many people seem to really be interested in everything he says even though he's been gone for over a year now. Especially going all the way back to McNabb and Haynesworth stuff. Who really cares at this point? Was Shanny great while he was here? No. Was it all his fault? Nope. But he certainly played a part and didn't seem to do himself any favors on the way out.

Nor, I imagine, is anyone else here. He's no one I liked or wanted (ever), but it wasn't because I didn't think he knew how to coach at a high level.

[Jumbo]

Again, think of the innumerable posts made for years by people blaming "it all" (the idea of a horrendously bad judgment) on Robert's ego or Mike's "need to win now."

 

Some of us kept saying the doc would have to have cleared it on any team and all coaches know the process and the huge consequences for bypassing it. The coach and player still have culpability as the final call is theirs if it's a "go" from the team doc (or doc in question), but a "no go" from the doc ends it.
