Report Snyder's Plane Has Left Denver

[Hostile]

Commanders plane heading back from Denver 1/4/2010 1:49:47 PM

Jason Reid of the Washington Post reports the airplane of Commanders owner Daniel Snyder left out of Dulles International this morning and landed in Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colo., at approximately 10:45 a.m., according to sites that track flight plans.

The team will not comment before today's news conference, but it's worth pointing out that Mike Shanahan lives in the Denver area. We'll keep following the plane and let you know of any developments. It would seem that Snyder's plane would have to leave Denver at some point, right?

And that plane now is back in the air. It was headed east over Kansas, as of 1 p.m. General manager Bruce Allen wouldn't offer a time line for the naming of a new coach, but he said the Commanders would be aggressive.

He's getting ready to give someone $20 million a year to be the next coach.

You are joking but I won't be surprise that the lil fella will get raped with the contract that he gives Shanny.

Having an owner with a Napoleon complex is bad for the league.

"See everyone, look at how much money I have!"

I bet he drives a jacked up monster truck too.

Shanahan is too good of a coach to be fired by Washington.

He'll quit instead.

I remember some were rueing a missed opportunity for Shanny just a few weeks ago.

That the 'Skins have hired Shanahan for 5 years, 50 million!

Meh. Shanahan is a good coach. But Shanahan minus Elway isn't a great coach. He'll have a lot of building to do in DC, and it's always a question mark as to how much patience Snyder will show. Shanahan didn't last too long under Al Davis, so we'll see how this (apparent) marriage does under pressure.

Who??

 

[TellerMorrow34]

A friend of mine was telling me earlier today that he was reading reports that they would be giving him 50 million over 5 years.

He's a fantastic offensive coordinator, if they can get him the players he needs. If they can hang onto their defensive structure (lol, I know they won't now that Prince Albert has spoken) then they could be dangerous in about two years, with good drafting.

:laugh2:

I know none of that is going to happen.

Coy deserves some props for reporting this 5 days ago.

The main thing I hate about Shanny going to Washington, is that we'll have to face that damn cut-blocking on their OL twice a year...

Not sure why the NFL allows that to go on...
