I said from jump, Haslett not Shanahan should have been fired. But once you fired Mike and Kyle, it was virtual suicide to then fire Haslett too. So now you got to live with the move. Now in order to not waste another season, you got to give Haslett not only the freedom to run the defense, but the players to make it work.

Shanahan sealed his fate by getting someone to print those stories about him considering quitting a while ago (or at least not denying any of it) & by benching RG3 for the last three games. All were perceived to be ways of undermining Snyder. When you go after the boss your fate is pretty much sealed & it should be that way (regardless of how you feel about the owner). In effect - Shanahan got himself fired.

Shanahan did deny that he considered quitting.


I thought his benching RG3 was ridiculous until I heard his reasoning. It was incredibly sound.

Shanahan did self implode. He wanted out. Some of the actions that came from his camp the last 6 weeks were almost comical with the leaks and all.

I have mixed feelings on this. We really really need to add two safeties this season and I don't think the draft is the way to go for them. There also aren't really that many quality safeties left. However I feel like not paying the contacts these guys got is fine. We most likely would've had to pay extra to get any of them to come here and in that case they probably weren't worth it. We might just have to bite the bullet for a year and deal with it in the future. (Although that is not gonna be fun too watch)

Also shanahan deserved to be fired. No complaints there.
