More evidence of Shanahan to DC

Profootball Talk reports on Adam Schefter’s report on Shanahan’s dwindling options.

"

He has told the Bills “no thanks,” and Schefter previously has reported that Shanahan isn’t interested in the Cowboys job.  (The report came a day after the FOX’s Jay Glazer reported that the Cowboys aren’t interested in Shanahan.)

On Sunday, Schefter reported that Shanahan isn’t interested in the Bears’ head-coaching job, only three days after ESPNChicago.com reported that Shanahan would be “extremely interested” in the position, if Shanahan would have “final say” over the roster.

Schefter also reported on Sunday that Shanahan wouldn’t be interested in the Texans job, since getting it would mean that the Texans would have fired Shanahan’s former lieutenant, Gary Kubiak.

Still, Schefter didn’t close the door on Shanahan going to Florida, even though Schefter pointed out that Shanahan prefers a return to the NFL.

Indeed, we’re told that Shanahan “basically has his contract done” with the Redskins and that Shanahan has most of his staff ready to roll in D.C.

"

Is this really that surprising?  I think most people out there, including our posts from Chris Mortenson from ESPN and Mortenson’s response to our Twitter that you can ‘book’ Shanahan to Washington, believe that the deal for Shanahan is complete and only awaits the season’s end.  There have been numerous reports beyond this one of Shanahan’s staff organization as well.
