Me too. Not because I think it would alienate the locker room, but because I think it would be a repeat of the Spurrier fiasco.

Even worse it would probably be its own completely new and unique fiasco. A fiasco like you've never even imagined.

I never like the way Mike carried himself but then these guys all have huge egos and …. well, he had had some success in Denver
I guess the hiring of his son kind of made me a little nervous but the kid had done a good job in Houston - our offense is not going to require too much
removing the cap and having the FO & scouting guys find some players will be a huge help to the defense and the special teams
Here we are - I am a bit nervous but I think that this will resolve itself and the media will be shown to have blown just about everything WAY out of proportion
Sorry Mike - maybe it's time to bring in some new blood - there are some good players and coaches here
we need to see more passion and maybe the change will bring that out in some of these guys
hail

Bogus cap penalties and injuries killed this team. Can we really blame Shanahan and Haslet for not bringing able to afford any secondary help? How about for injuries to Carriker or Bowen? What about blaming them for the drop off of London Fletcher? Should we blame them for Sleepy Davis falling apart? Can we blame them for lacking the money to upgrade the offensive line?
Fact is, this team has a ton of talent that fits a system. Hitting the reset button means starting over from scratch, teaching RGIII a new system and flipping our current roster. No thanks.

I'm not going to make a knee jerk reaction to things that were out of our control this year. We have a QB on this roster that we are very excited for. We have a coaching staff that is tops in the game. I'm sticking with the plan and seeing what happens next year with everything in place as is.
By coming out and saying this, the guy is gonna put Shanny in a corner. He's also gonna be praised IMO by this fan base and get some respect back nationally for being an impulse owner. This is an opportunity for him to redo his past sins, and ultimately, I think this franchise will be better for it. It would elevate him above this circus. I think this is the play
I swear the human condition depresses me more and more everyday.....

Shanny was ready to leave and Snyder knew but the strong finish changed minds. Then knee-gate happened. We went from Cloud Nine to Mudville in about 2 hours.
Shanny couldn't leave us in the lurch. Lack of contract extension explained.
“I’ll just say this. I didn’t know about the office part that Dan Graziano reported over the weekend,” he said. “That was like, ‘Well, I didn’t know that one.’ But I knew how Mike felt about certain things. So that doesn’t surprise me at all. At one point I thought he would do that. But he didn’t and he stayed on. The office part was something I didn’t know about. That kinda caught me.
“I think people know how RGIII feels about Mike,” he said. “And again, we can sugarcoat this all we want. We can dry to dress it up and call it ‘lukewarm.’ The bottom line is, he doesn’t like the coach and I don’t think he wants the coach here. Period. And we talked about this, the little triangle of power here in the organization, there are two guys on one side and one on the other. Two guys will win, one guy’s gonna lose. Although in this case, everybody loses.”

Nobody should berate you, man! Honestly your opinion and the theories you've posted here are as good a guess as any others I've read here. The way things have changed surrounding this story from day to day, its really hard to know what the truth is. There is nothing that would be surprise me at the end of the season.

Not at all. That was the consensus opinion here before this whole poop storm erupted last week.

I think that many here were recently thinking that the best path might be to bring Mike back … and then the BS started and was not 'managed' very well
I don't agree that Robert is as bad as some are making out but I do agree that he needs to work a lot harder at being a better QB than he has shown this season
time to man up here …
I don't like Mike as a coach much but IF Mike, Kyle and Robert trust each other, I don't see why we need to make a change at HC or with the management by Mike
Mike does need to come off his high horse a little as well here and do a better job with the personnel he brings in, both coaches and players
IF Dan thinks that Mike and Kyle have a good relationship as far as the coach and QB are concerned - he needs to let him have his last year and see where we are
Mike may not want to stay here with all that's going down but I really think the BS about Dan - RG3 - Mike is just that = BS
the most important thing here is Robert has been benched and he needs to make every effort he can to be as good a QB as he can be
Robert does not seem to have worked as hard as he needs to - he's a lot better than what we've seen recently
