Mike Shanahan has a lot of work to do to fix the ills of the Washington Redskins. However the job may not be as big as many people think.

They already have a pretty good defense in place, if Shanahan can find a good defensive coordinator not much attention will have to be paid to that side of the ball.

Short term the defense is not he biggest concern, the Redskin offense on the other hand is going to need all of Shanahan's offensive genius.

The Denver Post reports that the Washington Redskins have reached a deal with Mike Shanahan to make him the team's next head coach and, according to ESPN.com, Executive Vice President of Football Operations.

Mike Shanahan agreed Tuesday to become the coach of the Washington Redskins, the latest step in a major overhaul of a troubled franchise.

Shanahan's decision to join the team was confirmed to The Associated Press by an official within the NFL. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the team was not commenting on its coaching search.

As the Redskins close in on Mike Shanahan, Peter King predicts the first things the Super Bowl-winning coach will do in Washington.

The Washington Redskins are reportedly interviewing some of their coaching staff for their Head Coaching position.

The problem with hat is they already have a Head Coach in Jim Zorn, and rather than delay the inevitable they should just fire the guy now.

Come 2010 there is virtually no chance that Zorn will retain his role with the Redskins, but this classless organization would rather interview people on his own staff, than do what many have called for, for some time.

Two-time Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan has met with the Buffalo Bills to discuss their head coaching vacancy, according to a published report.

ESPN.com on Wednesday reported that Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon traveled to Denver and spent seven hours meeting with Shanahan on Monday night and Tuesday morning.
