One day after the firing of Jim Zorn, the Washington Redskins have signed former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan to a five-year deal. According to Matt Mosley of ESPN.com, he will make around $7 million each season.
It's no surprise this deal comes two days after the end of the regular season considering how reports broke out a few weeks ago about discussions going on between Shanahan and Redskins' owner Dan Snyder.
Zorn was fired from the Redskins after a disappointing 4-12 season. Washington was considered to be Super Bowl contenders after beginning 6-2 last season before finishing 8-8. Shanahan last coached in 2008 before he was fired after the Broncos lost a four-game lead in the AFC West in the final four weeks of the regular season.
