Shanahan tells the Redskins "No"
According to nfl.FanHouse.com Mike Shanahan, 2x 90′s Superbowl winner and recently fired head coach for the Denver Broncos, has turned down Dan Snyder’s offer to take over for Jim Zorn as head coach for the Washington Redskins. Since clenching the title for worst team in the NFC East Zorn has been scrubbing up the resume anticipating the pink slip. Shanahan said that taking over in the middle of the season rarely works out for both the new coach and the team.
Secondary coach Jerry Gray may be tapped at the Week 8 bye to take over for Zorn but it looks like right now the organization is “trying to give Jim every chance to turn it around. The move to [bring in offensive consultant Sherm] Lewis is to take more off Jim’s plate, especially the play-calling, because it is not working, and that is where Jim is spending much of his time. Now he can coach the entire team. Let’s see where that gets us.”
Yeah… Let’s…
