Shanahan exits press conference when asked about press leaks

Shanahan

On Wednesday, Washington coach Mike Shanahan conducted a lengthy and wide-ranging press conference, asking all questions with uncanny candor. On Sunday, Shanahan took a different approach.

Shanahan exited his post-game press conference in the middle of a question regarding media leaks, according to Jay Busbee of Yahoo! Sports. The official video of the press conference is choppy at times, and it doesn’t contain the question that prompted Shanahan to exit.Via Rich Tandler of CSN Washington, it’s the first time Shanahan has cut a press conference short during his four years with the Redskins.

On Wednesday, Shanahan insisted that he talks to no one in the media off the record, a contention that many in the media deem to be outlandish, not credible, and ultimately not true.
