The Facts:
The Washington Redskins have fired Mike Shanahan as their coach, according to a member of the organization.
Reported by the Washington Post
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Redskins part ways with Shanahan after four years in which he had a regular season record of 24-40. He and the Redskins also suffered a playoff defeat last season to the Seattle Seahawks. Shanahan led the Redskins to an NFC East title last season but the team slipped to last place this season, losing its final eight games to finish 3-13. Shanahan’s relationships with Snyder and quarterback Robert Griffin III came under intense scrutiny. Shanahan had one season remaining on a five-year contract estimated to be worth about $7 million per season. The Redskins launch a search for their eighth head coach (including an interim coach, Terry Robiskie, in the 2000 season) since Snyder purchased the team in 1999 from the Jack Kent Cooke estate.
