Mike Shanahan’s tenure in Washington is done, which means Dan Snyder’s team is looking for a new head coach.

With a 34-6 record and three BCS bowl appearances in three seasons and his history with the school, it seems unlikely anyone will be able to pry him away.
Reported a while back NFL teams will have difficult if not impossible time getting David Shaw out of Stanford. HOU wanted him. WSH too ...
