I would be surprised if that happened...To hear Bruce Allen speak the search is just begining...so to introduced him today would seem odd...a 4 hour coaching search??? I like what Bruce is doing...he getting this thing on track like it should have been from the start...I think we'll see a minority interveiwed before Shanahan or whoever is annouched

Maybe. But I think that the way that Allen was talking (i.e. wanting a proven leader and winner) that he was referring to a head coach like Shanahan. With the Buffalo vacancy, the Raiders opening, etc. I bet they make a move quickly, probably announcing the hiring by tomorrow or Wednesday.

All signs are pointing towards Mike Shanahan joining the Redskins before long. If he does, Mastermind Junior may not be far behind.
Texans offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan told the Houston Chronicle he thinks the "timing will be right" to join his father next season, if Mike is offered a job.
"When he got fired by Denver last year, I told him when he came back I wanted to work with him, no matter where," the younger Shanahan said Monday.
To go public with this plan, we have to assume Texans coach Gary Kubiak and the Houston organization is fine with this decision. Kubiak coached under Mike Shanahan for 11 years.

The link said the plane landed at Dulles at 10:45 AM local time and it was 84 degrees and cloudy. I don't want to point out the desparity in temp as a caution to this being a fake, but something is not right!

The Washington Redskins have moved quickly in their pursuit of Mike Shanahan.
The former Denver Broncos coach flew to Washington hours after the team fired Jim Zorn.
Shanahan landed on own Dan Snyder's plane, dubbed Redskins One, at Dulles International Airport near Redskins Park in mid-afternoon. Shanahan then hopped into Snyder's limo and drove away. He refused to comment to NBC4's Dan Hellie, who was awaiting his arrival.
Multiple sources said the team has been talking to Shanahan for months, NBC4's Lindsay Czarniak reported, and the team could announce Shanahan as the team's next head coach soon, if everything goes as the front office hopes. Contract figures of five years and $7 million per have been rumored. That would make Shanahan the highest-paid coach in the NFL.
Shanahan is the team's top choice to replace Zorn, who was dismissed in the pre-dawn hours a day after Washington completed a 4-12 season with a 23-20 loss at San Diego.
Shanahan won two Super Bowls in 14 seasons with the Broncos. He was fired a year ago after Denver missed the playoffs for the third straight season.

Apparently Snyder met him at the airport and Allen left Redskins Park to meet up with them. I would imagine that Shanahan wants some assurances that Snyder will give him and Allen autonomy to run the team.
