Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan is "definitely" interested in interviewing for head coaching jobs, but will not field inquiries until after the playoffs.

Kyle joked about previous reports that his father will not allow him to interview for other jobs during the post season. No teams have contacted his agent because he doesn't have one. "I haven't answered my phone in six months," said the younger Shanahan. The upshot is that Kyle isn't attached to Mike's hip and would embrace the opportunity to run his own team. Jan 3 - 1:58 PM

Sources tell the Washington Post that the Redskins are "seriously considering" a contract extension with coach Mike Shanahan.

Shanahan's current five-year contract is up following the 2014 season. During his first two-plus seasons in Washington, he went 14-27 and appeared to be on thin ice. An extension at this point would be a reward for the current seven-game winning streak that netted the Redskins the NFC East crown and a home playoff game Sunday afternoon.

Sources within the Redskins organization tell NFL Network's Michael Lombardi that the team's decision to start Rex Grossman is "about them being in position next year to draft a quarterback."

The NFL Network crew agreed, with Warren Sapp bluntly stating, "Right now they’re tanking the season looking for that Top 5 pick." While it's hard to argue with that assessment, the team would never publicly state their desire to tank the season, and we can't imagine the league would be able to prove the team's futility was planned. It goes without saying that the Skins will be in the market for an elite rookie quarterback.

According to PFT's Mike Florio, Mike Shanahan may have been one of the head coaches who inquired about the Cowboys' head coaching job prior to the 2010 season.

The timing just wasn't right, as Wade Phillips was fresh off a divisional playoff run and Shanahan didn't want to wait another year to resume coaching. Shanny ultimately signed a five-year contract with the Redskins. According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, Redskins owner Dan Snyder would not be willing to let Shanahan out of his deal at the end of the season.

Redskins hired Keenan McCardell as wide receivers coach.

Interestingly, McCardell beat out former Bucs WRs coach Richard Mann, who left Tampa to try to catch on with the Redskins. With McCardell out of the picture, Ike Hilliard is the favorite for the same position with the Bucs.

Redskins announced the retirement of offensive line coach Joe Bugel.

One of the greatest line coaches in history, the Bugel spent 32 years in the NFL and 15 in D.C. He was also a head coach for five seasons with the Raiders and Phoenix Cardinals. Known as "Boss Hog" during his overseeing of the famed "Hogs," Bugel coached Skins linemen to 14 Pro Bowls. He retires as an interesting position coach prospect for the Hall of Fame.

Redskins hired Bobby Turner as associate head coach/running backs.

He replaces Stump Mitchell. Turner, 60 years old and a 15-year veteran running backs coach, is unlikely to put up with Clinton Portis' annually lackadaisical offseason routine. It's possible Mike Shanahan will put Turner directly in charge of making sure Portis conforms. If not, Portis could be cut.

The Redskins have reportedly offered Broncos RBs coach Bobby Turner a spot on their staff, with the title of "associate head coach."

This would be an upward move for Turner, who's only been a position coach in the NFL. He has overseen Denver's running backs for 15 years, coaching up Tatum Bell and Reuben Droughns, among others, to 1,000-yard seasons.

Redskins named Kyle Shanahan offensive coordinator.

This move was fully expected, but what remains uncertain is whether Kyle or Mike will be the Skins' playcaller. Mike has always done so, but it would seem odd for Kyle to "give up" the responsibilities after so successfully calling the Texans' plays in 2009. The decision may not be made until training camp.

The National Football Post reports that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan may target Texans OL Alex Gibbs as an addition to his staff.

Gibbs, the godfather of zone blocking, worked with Shanahan for several seasons in Denver and would be an excellent hire. Gibbs has considered retirement in recent years, however, and his availability is uncertain. The Skins do need to replace 2009 line coach Joe Bugel, who retired on Tuesday.

Redskins signed Mike Shanahan to a five-year contract that will make him their head coach and executive VP of football operations.

He'll be introduced Wednesday at 2PM ET. The deal is for roughly $7 million annually, considerably less than initial reports of $10M. However, the Broncos are paying Shanahan $3.5M a year after firing him in 2009, and will continue to do so through 2011. The "executive VP of football operations" title confirms Shanahan will have final say over personnel. Assuming he brings in a defensive coordinator that keeps that side of the ball strong, the move looks ideal for Washington because of Shanahan's offensive track record. The Skins finished 2009 as a top-ten defense, but 22nd in total offense.

Mike Shanahan's agent has reportedly been summoned to Washington to work on a contract with the Redskins.

Talks have progressed well since Shanny arrived in town Monday afternoon. According to Profootballtalk.com, a five-year deal worth more than $10 million per year has already been drawn up. The two sides just have to hammer out the particulars at this point.

The Washington Post reports that the Redskins will name Mike Shanahan their next head coach on Tuesday, "barring unforeseen glitches."

Shanahan arrived at club headquarters at 3ET Monday. The rest of the Skins' coaching staff will reportedly undergo a "sweeping change," with Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer the apparent favorite to take over the same position in D.C. Shanahan's son, Kyle, will coordinate the offense. NFL Network's Mike Lombardi also reported Monday that Mike Shanahan will be named team president, giving him significant influence over all personnel.

A league official confirmed to the AP that the Redskins formally interviewed Mike Shanahan regarding their head coaching vacancy on Monday.

GM Bruce Allen spoke to Shanahan by phone, though it's unclear if Allen was on owner Dan Snyder's plane to Colorado early Monday. It's been confirmed that Shanahan was aboard the flight, which landed in D.C. on Monday afternoon. His hiring appears imminent, and probably will come by Tuesday.

The personal plane of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder left Dulles International on Monday morning and landed in Englewood, Colorado.

Snyder's top coaching target, Mike Shanahan, lives in Denver. The Skins are now not expected to make any formal announcements before Tuesday, but it's clear what was going on here. GM Bruce Allen says the Skins are being "aggressive" in their search. The plane did depart in the early afternoon.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined According to the Washington Examiner, Robert Griffin III was putting more pressure on his surgically-repaired knee in Thursday's OTAs session than he was before going down in Washington's Wild Card loss to Seattle. It's a cruel reminder of how limited RGIII was even before his knee finally gave out on FedEx Field's embarrassing turf. As reported Thursday, Griffin expects to start "explosive sprinting" in just a matter of weeks. It's not fair to compare RGIII's recovery to Adrian Peterson's, but thus far it's mirroring it. May 24
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Redskins RB Roy Helu (Achilles', toe) is sitting out OTAs. He's doing rehab work on the side. Helu is in danger of losing his roster spot just two years after being a fourth-round pick. As a rookie, he rushed for 100-plus yards in three consecutive games late in the season. Ever since, Helu has been unable to say healthy, and Alfred Morris has seized the starting job. May 24
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Updating a previous item, Pierre Garcon underwent "minor" labrum surgery in January. Coach Mike Shanahan initially said Garcon underwent "chest" surgery. The labrum is part of the shoulder. Garcon is reportedly healthy right now, but he isn't participating in team drills at OTAs as a "precaution." Entering his age-27 season, Garcon should be all systems go for training camp. May 23
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Fred Davis (Achilles') was catching passes and running routes as the Redskins opened OTAs Thursday. Like Robert Griffin III (knee), Davis was not in uniform and worked off to the side. It's still encouraging to see him pivoting and moving well seven months after blowing out his heel. Beat writer Chris Russell said Davis "looks better than I thought." The pass-catching tight end says he's at 90 percent now and expects to be 100 percent by June's minicamps. May 23
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins signed No. 85 overall pick TE Jordan Reed to a four-year contract. Undersized at 6-foot-2, 236 pounds, Reed is a blocking-deficient pass catcher. That's why his 4.72 40-yard dash underwhelmed at the Combine. Alas, Reed adds a real receiving threat to a team with in-flux receiver and tight end corps, and has drawn looses comparisons to Aaron Hernandez. If Reed shows well as a rookie, the Redskins could decide to let Fred Davis walk next offseason. May 24
	4	Niles Paul
	5	Deangelo Peterson
