"That's why I'm happy where I'm at— it's the organization we have," Shanahan told Peter King of NBC's Football Morning in America. "We went through some tough times in our first two years, especially starting 0-9. I think the next year was 1-7. When you start that way, it's very hard for a place not to splinter. Never once did I have an owner crushing me with, 'Hey, we gotta change this guy.' I mean, everyone here really just believed in each other. That was really tested with some of the times we went through but I think that was the neatest thing about it. We knew we had the right people around.

As long as it stays this way the first rough season we have. Loved Eddie, but firing Seifert after a 12-4 season (he never finished below 10-6) after losing to GB twice in the playoffs was a mistake. After losing Seifert's stability, it was a slow and gradual decline from there. Hopefully Lynchahann put together a Patriot's like dynasty, but Jed please, please stay patient if there are any bumps in the road.

We now have a SECOND Super Bowl contender in the same decade. Think about that for a second. Two completely different rosters, coaches, and quarterbacks. I personally feel very lucky. Not sure exactly how much York has to do with that, but I'm sure whatever it is, Raiders, Lions, browns, Bengals, and many other teams would give anything to have just one.

Hopefully he stays out of the way this time.

I think he's learned. All you have to do is look at Dallas. Jones out there blasting his coaches. They'll never win anything as long as he's owner.

As much as he has screwed up over the last decade+, Jed does seem to genuinely try to learn from his mistakes. That's probably not that easy to do when you don't really have anyone around you that can tell you no.

And likewise for Snyder and Washington, not that the skins look remotely like winning anything!

Snyder is in his own category. Some people are beyond hope.

Shanahan would never pull a power move like that. He'd have the conversation with Jed in private if he felt there were boundaries crossed, not do it in front of other people.

Revisiting the question in previous weeks about what it would take to give York credit: I think proof that he can manage success over the long-term is what would move the needle for me. Not just win for a couple years followed by rumors of behind the scenes tension between coaches and managers as soon as the first rough patch hits. If we continue to have success and he is able to unwaveringly give Lynchahann the proper support even when things get a little tough, we have a bad season, and fans are a bit frustrated, that will prove to me that he has what it takes. That will show thick skin and fortitude as well as an understanding for the big picture. When that happens, I promise, I will give him 100% support and credit for what was built here. I also believe that will be the transition to an enduring dynasty.

Or Lynch would smooth it out.

I feel Jed has learned from his mistakes which is all we have asked of him. Thank god he didn't try to be another Jerry Jones.
