The Grin Is In... Shanahan New Exec VP For Skins
((HT: MyFoxDC))
According to the Denver Post and Mike Klis, Mike Shanahan will become the new Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Washington redskins once pen is put to paper...
The Post also is claiming that the signing will be announced Wednesday...
The Post reports the Broncos will pay approximately $3.5 million in 2010 and in 2011 to essentially have Shanahan coach the Redskins. The website reports that will save Broncos owner Pat Bowlen about $3.5 million for each of those years.
The full deal is for five years at, roughly, the same dollar figure Shanahan was getting in Denver- US$7-million per season...

Allen: Last Place Is No Place For Redskins Football
((HT: WTTG/MyFoxDC))
The HQ hates to break it to new GM Bruce Allen, but you're gonna stay there until your boss gets out of the way once and for all...
As Brother J-Dub will attest, on behalf of all Skins fans, meddling doesn't equal any level of success... and never will...
That's just how it is...
Considering your boss is in charge of the Six Flags empire- ask him how well that's going these days...
You'll have a QB who will have another Offensive Coordinator to learn a new system from- for the seventh year in a row. You paid top dollar for a defensive end who started complaining at the end of the year that the team was out to get him.
And you hired a coordinator to be a head coach when he, clearly, wasn't ready to be one...
That should tell you where you're headed...
Although, we'll admit that Bruce Allen was a good start toward a new beginning...
Here's his first time facing the music...
Nothing like firing someone at 4 in the morning...

Jim Zorn, You're Fired
****BREAKING NEWS****
Chick Hernandez of CSNWashington caught up Redskins offensive coordinator Sherman Smith Monday morning for his reaction. (Thanks CSNWashington)
Here's a look back at the bizarre Jim Zorn era in D.C. from CSNWashington.
In what was a surprise to pretty much nobody who follows NFL Football, the Washington Redskins made it official this morning and fired Head Coach Jim Zorn. Zorn, who finished his time in Washington with a 12-20 record, including a 4 win season this year, seemed to be doomed from his start with owner Dan Snyder.

The story from the Washington Post RIGHT
There will be an "Official Press Conference" with new General Manager Bruce Allen at 12:30 to make the announcement. Most within football expect the list of potential replacements to start...and probably finish with former Denver Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan who would be the 7th Head Coach for the Deadskins since Dan Snyder bought the team in 1999.

Cerrato Out At Redskins Park... Brother J-Dub Ecstatic...
As well he should be...
It has long been thought that the Executive VP of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato should have been long for Redskins Park... well, a long time ago...
Bad signings, bad draft picks, bad players, and just bad football led to it...
Finally...
But Dan Snyder's bestest buddy seemed to have nine lives and the team was working better on the field with Jason Campbell actually finding receivers who were dressed in the same colored uniform in recent weeks...
Bruce Allen, son of legendary former Skins coach George Allen, is being named Cerrato's replacement Thursday afternoon...
Those of us at the HQ think it's about f'n time...
Here's how the coverage broke this morning...

Brother J-Dub is the stereotypic example of how the fan base had become in recent years... angry bordering on apathetic. And that's the last thing Snyder needs...
