Yes, he appears to have taken the back seat for now and that's fine but it takes time to overcome the negativity on this team and its negative image throughout the rest of the NFL. By any objective standard I think Shanahan needs to be fired. But for the long term welfare of the team I think it would be a bad move right now. If Snyder succumbs to the temptation to start his idiotic micromanaging again, this team is cooked for keeps. But that doesn't mean we can't find another defensive coordinator right now for one thing. I'd like to see a situation where good free agents are enthusiastic about coming to Washington and one where good coaching peronnel are anxious to come to Washington. If Snyder can remain in the background we have a shot at making it happen. Just my two cents.
