Funny how fans don't bother to dissect things like this when a team is winning. Just sayin...
Correct.
When they're winning NFL films makes videos about the season and we all buy and watch them and everything is rainbows and unicorns
Winner, winner, filet mignon dinner!
T, I haven't heard of Shan having a scouting group out there beyond what the Redskins had in house. Not saying the rumor is false, but part of me thinks this is very possible.
I've heard it from two different sources on 980 - one being Cooley (of course

).
Shanahan left the building burning everything in his path. He had weeks to do it. It's created so much confusion that it's hard to make sense of what's true, what's character assassination (because that went on with both sides), what's a beat reporter trying to get his name on the ESPN and NFL network scroll bars, etc.
The other rumors floating around are that Snyder and Shanahan didn't talk once, one on one, the entire 4 years he was here. He 100% cut Snyder out of the loop. Everything went through Allen. Everything. They obviously hung out in public with other people, there are pictures, but they never once had a one on one conversation.
Really wish I was a fly on the wall at redskins park... there's so much crap that went on there that we don't even know about.
There's also rumors that the linebackers coach was the 'mole' for shanahan. Giving some interesting context to Griffin's comments mid-season when asked about the drama. Paraphrasing, he essentially said: I don't get it. It could be stopped by anytime, quickly, but they don't seem interested in doing that.
