TERRIFYING NEWS FROM SI.COM YESTERDAY

I keep hearing that Mike Shanahan will be the Redskins' next coach and that current general manager Vinny Cerrato will survive. Are you surprised? I'm not. Vinny has 10 lives.

National Football Post

The Italicised part was not added by me, but was actually included in the piece I read

 

IS THIS UTTER MADNESS.

Shanahn First

Basically Shanahan has lived his whole football life in an eminently winnable division (as opposed to the NFC east the toughest division in Football),

With one of the all time great QB's he managed a SB, BUT since losing Elway, did he ever do anything special, and even with Elway he often relied on great last quarter comebacks, also known as Elways signature (whereas Campbell is good but not great and the one thing Campbell lacks as a QB is great last quarter comebacks) (and I would argue that those last quarter comebacks say more about a QB than a coach anyway)

He lived in Denver, where becasue of the success he had with Elway he was a beloved member of the community and lived a charmed life of rarely being criticised and because the Broncos were the only game in town he was basically a Governer type figure there (whereas in Washington he has an enraged Fan Base that will not tolerate much more of this medicority and a sceptical Press Corp's who are violently opposed to the owner adn some of whom I am sure will be willing him to fail)

 

He is committed to the WCO a system for which the current team, without a complete overhaul will not work and which will not be embraced by the fan base and goes against everything it means to be a Redskin, and it does not suit our good but not great QB

HE LIKES VINNY!!!

 

NOW TO VINNY

 

His name is Vinny Cerrato and his atrocious record speaks for itself, 'nuff said

 

Oh except one thing, he wears sunglasses in a manner that makes me despise the little man

NOBODY WHO IS REALLY WORTH ANYTHING WILL COME HERE WITH THE DAN AND VINNY SHOW

If Snyder won’t go, we’ve got to pressure him to sell Vinny to the Gypsies and hire a real GM. Ten years is enough.

Join the cause and tell Dan to SELL THE TEAM! www.savetheskins.com

If the Skins continue to play

like they did yesterday minus the WTF TD passes, the Skank Punt, etc I would rather see the status quo than have Shanahan come to town. We need stability more than anything.

Nice summary of why Shanny won’t fit here – not that Snyderato have a clue as to what would work.

Status quo

The satus quo is setting up a culture of losing
Despite Zorn’s Denials, Redskins Are In Losing Habits
As much as I agree with the Stability, the team needs a leader as Head coach.

I have to believe that some of this is

growing pains, some just plain misfortune – but all of it correctable. I’m not ready to see Zorn thrown under the bus when we have seen dramatic improvement on the field. It’s just those WTF plays that are driving everybody crazy.

Well if Michael Lombardi "heard it"...

It must be true. Just last week all I was readin on Shanahan was about his extensive talks in Buffalo. There’s still 5 weeks left till the end of the season; they’ll feel like 5 months if you start jumping on every rumor that’s thrown out.

Afterall,

why resort to investigative journalism when an obvious rumor will do.

The credo

of professional sports writing.

to be fair

it was in the ’Truth and Rumours" section of SI.com

I probably should have made that clear

Although I would add to people who say no one respecatble will come here, that I have read in many places that Shanahan respects Vinny and would not be averse to keeping him as GM
