Remember, without Elway, Shanahan is 1-4 in the playoffs (if the redskins ever make the playoffs again).

There were only two coaches of caliber available: Cower and Shanahan. I am happy with Shanahan. Skins need to fix their O-line and make decisions on a running back and they are back in the hunt. I believe Shanahan knows how to build lines and certainly understands the running game. He built Denver into a winning playoff team. I think he is capable of doing the same here in DC. Further, he has the stature to force our owner to shut up and stay out of the team building process. So I am happy. My guess, we will finish either 1st or second in NFC East if we find a quality LT. I believe the Cowboys have similar problems on the o-line.
True. IMHO, Joe Gibbs was one of the best actual coaches ever, and I say that as a Cowboys fan. He won more games with less talent (3 Super Bowl wins with three different quarterbacks, two of whom were total journeymen) and ALWAYS had the Skins in the hunt during his first tenure. A HOF quarterback makes a lot of difference.
