That's Shanahan's record since coming to Washington. The home record over that span has to be among the worst in the NFL.
And yet Mike Shanahan on TV and radio seems to give the impression most of the questions about the team and its lack of competitiveness he is asked are either irrelevant or ill- thought out.
The post-game presser after the Carolina loss was the first time I think we saw the real man. He looked grave and worried and accompanied that look with some words that clearly seemed to be a bit defeatist, although in the end accurate.
The Redskins as constructed are still a mess. Yes there are a few more talented younger players to get excited about, but on a 45 man active roster there are still far too many holes coming down the stretch of Year 3.
Shanahan knows that. That was what his somber mood only emphasized.
The fact he came back 24 hours later and like Andy Reid tried to talk about fighting the good fight, etc, it really doesn't wash away the fact there are more than the few casual observers that are beginning to think this staff is now adrift much like Turner in San Diego.
No answers. The occasional emotion and then the retreat back to Coachspeak'.
But at least Shanahan didn't come off as dismissive and combative when given a dose of the truth.
Maybe its a start.
