There is a rumor circulating that Snyder flew to Cabo and met with Mike Shanahan --- has not yet been confirmed by the mainstream media, but some bloggers (including me) are talking about it...

A better ending would have been Snyder named himself HC

I have your rookie card. '86 Topps .
Thought your old backfield team mate Mayhew was interviewing your for the HC job in Detroit? Smile
Seriously. Why Todd Bowles for a user name?

Wow, let's hear a rumor, assume it's true, bash Snyder for his failure to let his team gel, and if it doesn't happen we can bash him for failing to make obviously needed changes. When we never hear of it again, we can say how no one would ever work for him, which is why we haven't had a head coach for the last ten years and count Zorn and Shanahan on the list of coaches who were fired by Snyder even if Zorn is still coaching since clearly we can conclude now that Snyder didn't want Zorn to be the coach.

I think I covered it all...

Shanahan was one of the Holmgren-type coaches with final say in all football matters. He got Sundquist (the paper GM)fired last spring, and took on the title...which is to say, he was a fantastic coach, but a horrible GM. Who else would look at the D-Line of another team and then buy the whole line? After Elway retired, they went through the dance with Griese's kid, then bought Jake "The Snake" from Arizona, stuck with him for a while, went to Cutler, eventually. We dealt with Shanahan with the whole Bailey/Portis deal, not Bowlen or the GM.
To bring him here as a GM would be disastrous.

Thats what I was thinking. The blog is sounding like he wants Shanahan to be the HC but he doesnt its Zorn, and thats final. Maybe he wants him as a FO guy or maybe a FO job with some influence on the coaching, like helping out Zorn some, giving some advice. Idk, who does anymore?

Shanahan is the last person we need either as a coach or GM. The NFL had passed Joe Gibbs by and he had an excuse of being away for many, many years. The NFL has passed Shanahan by and he was/is still coaching.

How fast do you think that Vinnie and Dan are tripping over themselves right now to call Shanahan?

Man, I bet they wish they wouldn't have said that Zorn's job was safe.


I've heard the same. I'd love to say I was a fortune teller when I posted this the day Shanahan was fired, but you really didn't need to be Nostradamus to see this one coming.
