Mike Shanahan was hired by the Redskins. However, I think they also need to hire a new owner. Thoughts @Adam_Schefter ?

Following the firing of Jim Zorn on January 4, 2010, unconfirmed reports circulated that the Washington Redskins had hired former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan. According to The Denver Post and Adam Schefter of ESPN, Shanahan agreed to a five-year contract paying about $7 million a year on January 5, 2010.http://twitter.com/mortreport/status/7423751201² The official announcement could come as soon as January 6, 2010.http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_14127983³

Since Zorn took over the franchise in 2008, he las led the Redskins to just 12 wins and 20 losses between the two seasons. Their 4-12 record landed the team last in the NFC East, their worst season since 1994. Over 20,000 fans voted in ESPN Sports Nation, with only 22% of fans approving of Zorn's work as head coach during the 2009 season.http://espn.go.com/nfl/sportsnation/coach?coachId=66⁴
