The Shanahan has landed

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 4, 2010 3:49 PM ET

Mike Shanahan is in Washington D.C. to meet with the Redskins, according to NBC 4 in Washington. The Associated Press has confirmed the report.

Shanahan landed at Dulles Airport and reportedly was whisked into a Dan Snyder car believed to be headed to the Redskins team facility. (Brad Childress oddly was their driver.)

The rapid movement on the Shanahan front means that we could have a press conference introducing him as Redskins head coach within a day or two.

UPDATE: The Washington Post writes that negotiations are expected to conclude after Shanahan's arrival. We passed along a report that Shanahan already spoke with G.M. Bruce Allen Monday.

One spot filled.

Posted by Michael David Smith on January 4, 2010 7:15 PM ET

In news that should come as a surprise to no one, the Washington Redskins are reportedly ready to formally introduce Mike Shanahan as their next head coach, and may make the official announcement on Tuesday.

Jason Reid of the Washington Post reported on Monday afternoon that the Redskins, barring unforeseen glitches, will likely introduce Shanahan in a news conference Tuesday.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
