This year’s soap opera in Washington came to an end Monday as head coach Mike Shanahan was fired after a very fiery and awkward 2013 season.
Washington via Dan Snyder released the following statement regarding the firing:
“Redskins fans deserve a better result,” owner Daniel Snyder said in a written statement released by the team. “We thank Mike for his efforts on behalf of the Redskins. We will focus on what it takes to build a winning team, and my pledge to this organization and to this community is to continue to commit the resources and talent necessary to put this team back in the playoffs.”
The team said it will hold a news conference later Monday.
“We are going to take a smart, step-by-step approach to finding the right coach to return the Redskins to where we believe we should be,” General Manager Bruce Allen said in a written statement. “We will analyze accurately and honestly all of the decisions that were made over the past year.”
