Redskins Talk With Mike Shanahan For Head Coaching Job
Washington Redskins GM Bruce Allen has not yet identified his candidates for head coach after firing Jim Zorn just hours earlier.
The Redskins have been in contact with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan on Monday, ESPN and the AP reported.
NFL.com states that Shanahan is the preferred choice to replace Jim Zorn.
The airplane of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder was reported to be at an airport in the Denver area and Mike Shanahan lives in the Denver.
Shanahan then flew to Dulles airport in Virginia to meet with Redskins officials about possibly becoming their new head coach.
Shanahan was, as some say, unfairly fired as Denver’s head coach after the 2008 8-8 season and leading the Broncos to Super Bowl victories.
Shanahan would have his work cut out for him, but could have the Redskins in the playoffs next season, that won’t be as much of an issue as will he be able to get along with Daniel Snyder, said to be a bit on the egomanically controlling side.
It has been said that another team, remaining nameless, has interest in Mike Shanahan also. Could it be a bidding war or just a rumor.
A decision is not expected to be reached today, but if Shanahan joins the Redskins, expect to see a whole new game brought to the table.

He was unfairly fired, it was ludicrous. It’ll be nice to see him back on the side lines running it the way it should be.
