According to the Washington Post, the Washingtonย Redskins are expected to fire HCย Mike Shanahanย as earlier as tonight or possibly Monday morning.
The source cited in the report mentioned that Shanahan wasย โdefinitelyโ going to be fired, while a separate source added thatย Shanahan was certain to be replaced.
Washington’s is currently sitting with a disappointing record ofย 3-12 on the season, which means the Rams are almost certain to walk away with a top-three draft pick in 2014.ย Shanahan’s overall record in four seasons as the Redskins head coach isย 24-39 (.369).
Shanahan is owed $7 million for the 2014 season, which is apparently not an inhibiting factor for Redskins’ owner Dan Synder.
It will be interesting to see what names are connected to Redskins head coaching job in the coming days. One speculative option previously mentioned isย Baylor HCย Art Briles.ย
