Kyle Shannahan is a really good offensive coordinator. People forget that the year before he joined the skins, his offense with the Houston Texans ranked in the top 5 of the league. This was before Arian Foster became a superstar running back I believe. So this year is not the only year his offense has performed well. Kyle Shannahan did really well with Matt Schaub, did a decent job with an over the hill Mcnabb/Rex Grossman. People would be dumb to base his career on Mcnabb/Rex Grossman. Give the man a real QB like Rg3 or Schaub and Kyle Shannahan will make magic happen. That said, I don’t think Kyle Shannahan went through some bums like Mcnabb/Grossman/John Beck to finally get a guy like RG3 just to leave him…….He should stay.

Kyle Shanahan a NFL head coach? PLEEEZE! The only reason why kyle is in the NFL as a coach right now is because of his daddy. So the next time anyone says something as stupid as this article suggests, please remember this; kyle fought to get both Rex Grossman and John Beck to QB the Redskins. Enuf said?

Kyle did the play calling in Houston and the offense was tops in the league, for about a 3 year stretch, before coming to DC. Even still, while he has been fantastic most of the time, he has a series or two every game that leaves me screaming at the tv….Throwing on 2nd and 3rd downs giving Dallas the ball back with 3:35 left needing one score….another one was Morgan throwing to Griffin on 3rd & 9 at Pittsburgh. 2nd and 2, maybe, early in the game, but not when you need a crucial conversion at a critical point… Situational Awareness, very important, & he sometimes ain’t got it

Why leave a bright job in Washington where you will be given the keys in a few short years to bolt for a job such as Kansas City or Jacksonville or even worse Cleveland, just stay put Kyle. I don’t foresee you sticking around long enough at a new job to score a good qb which you already have

thunderskins007, The Redskins don’t play at RFK anymore? Really?? Yet ALL skins fans revere RFK as Hallowed ground and it still stands. It’s kind of a medieval reference. Not too bright on the upload, huh? You should change your handle to Captain Obvious. You need to read your own post and, maybe, check your third grade grammar before telling others to get their acts together.

Kyle is only an Nfl coach because of his father. A head coach? Are you freaking kidding? The next David Shula.

As good as Big Shanahan is, it has been Baby Shanny that has gotten not 1, but 2 rookie QB’s to play at a level where they not only can play in an NFL game, but play at a high level.

Make all the nepotism jokes you want, but any success the Skins have had offensively this season Baby Shanny has been at the center of it. Its a fact and not really up for debate.

Having said all that, why would Baby Shanny leave DC now?

Kyle Shanahan isn’t going anywhere but if he does he will try to take Kirk Cousins with him. Shanahan learned this year how to properly call a game. Much improved over last year. Maybe he can teach a offseason course to Garrett I’m still amazed we blitzed 80% of the time and he didn’t throw a screen a dump off????!???!

is funny how we wanted kid shanahan out of DC early in the season and now we don’t want to let him go. we can be some crazy and fickle fans. or we can be on crack, like RAYMONDTX who says we went 9-7. last i checked skins are 10-6. to OBXFANNINGS skins have’nt played in RFK in almost 20 years. if you are going to post please have year act together. as for kyle shanahan wish him the best, i don’t think it’s his time but whatever happens….happens. as a skins fan i never thought they would be 10-6 and division champs with a rookie QB. i had them going 6-10. hopefully this is just the beginning. happy new year peeps!

9-7 probably won’t get you a gig…

10-6 might…which they are. way to stay on top of things

Kyle can call a great game when he has a quarterback like RG3. I think he really is smart, but he falls in love with freakin’ awful QBs. He wanted to roll with Rex Grossman, and has Chris Simms’ initials tattooed on his ankle.

He’s done great with RG3, but at the same time, I could call a great game with RG3. No knock against the guy, but Leonardo couldn’t have painted the Mona Lisa with crayons.

So last year this and many other publications either implied or flat out states that Kyle was not qualified to be an OC. However, now you are reprinting stories that he’s not allowed to interview for HC positions, okay I guess I can understand that. What I can’t buy is the editorial that he should be paid like an entry level head coach and be positioned to take over the redskins.

Everyone ate him alive for the way he handled McNabb and the Grossman/Beck fiasco last year, but suddenly he’s a genius and the Shanahan’s should be the dynasty to oversee the Redskins for the next several decades?

I get you need to put a spin on these stories, to make them your own, but please try to do it in a cogent and logical manner. Two not so great years and one good year don’t automatically make someone an ideal head coaching candidate.

Please… This guy was a daddy’s boy non-talent for the last few years. In comes two bona-fide studs at QB and RB and he’s suddenly a hot property? Stop already. No rational NFL team can possibly be stupid enough to fall for that. Don’t worry Mike, your boy will be fetching your coffee for years to come.

The Rooney rule is just another politically correct bunch of crap. Forced diversity DOES NOT work. Interview who you want, but not because of the color of someones skin. The Rooney Rule is a racist rule!

One semi decent season solely because Cleveland didn’t trade up and the league has a hardon for all things shanahan. News flash… These shanahans are awful coaches unless they have superstar qbs. They were both on the hot seat less than a year ago!

I don’t see Shanahan leaving that cushy nest, not with Griffin and Morris on that team. So Kyle better go now that many options are available.

Only place I see fitting Kyle are the Bears, Browns and the Chiefs (if they trade down and draft Geno).
