Kyle Shanahan Chases Refs Down Tunnel, Cursing At Them [UPDATE]
Kyle Shanahan is the offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins. Yesterday the Redskins lost at home to the Cincinnati Bengals, 38-31. On the Redskins’ final, failed drive Shanahan was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following an argument with a referee during a chaotic sequence. When the game ended, Kyle Shanahan ran after the referees down the tunnel saying mean things to them.
Per a source that saw/heard it, Kyle Shanahan chased a official down underneath & said “You have No f***ing balls, you r a f***ing p***y.”

This. Is. Incredible. These referees are completely overwhelmed. Assuming they aren’t fixing games for their favorite teams, they’re probably just trying to do the best they can to not be murdered by unhappy players. Now they’ve got head coaches grabbing them and offensive coordinators questioning their manhood.

The end to that game was a disaster. The whole Cinncinatti team was on the field because the refs incorrectly called a runoff. Then during that mayham, they flag WASHINGTON for a penalty, and then mark it off 20 yards instead of 15. That made a 3rd and 30 into a 3rd and 50 and pretty much ended the game.
Shannahan’s right. Those calls took any glimmer of opportunity from the skins.

Has Washington really lost 7 straight home games? That’s horrific.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
i wonder how many coaches are suspended for this upcoming weekend? Belichick, Shanahan, Harbaugh? all three berated officials on camera, one got flagged for it.
that would make what, 6 coaches total suspended including the bounty scandal.
nicely handled Goodell, nicely handled.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:22 AM
To me, nothing was worse than what they allowed Harbaugh to do yesterday. He called a timeout. Then challenged the play. They looked at it, reversed the call, and gave him back his timeout. Awesome.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
He was actually yelling at Jim Haslett for another one of his horrible game plans. Good thing they signed him to an extension last week.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:23 AM

I think Fox is begging for a season-long suspension based on his attitude toward the scabs.
Haslett’s still trying to figure out how he can get Aaron Brooks on the roster.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Announcers got that wrong, too.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
He wasn’t yelling at the refs. Hello Kitty was further down the tunnel questioning the play calling.

And then he was allowed to challenge another play. Way to know the rules, guys.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Hey guys, did you hear?? The replacement refs aren’t all that great! ZOMG, lets talk about it!
September 24th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
These refs seem to be getting worse and worse, but I’m actually enjoying it.
The Pats didn’t lose because of the refs, they lost because their secondary is still horrible.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Damn, he took some hits yesterday between the options and the sacks.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Isn’t flagging a coach for unsportsmanlike conduct in a key position the exact opposite of having no balls and being a pussy? I thought the narrative was these guys would be intimidated.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:30 AM

Totes, we should talk about some middle aged singer from a band that was pretty popular in the mid 90s got in a hissy fit on stage instead.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:31 AM
That was the only way they moved the ball. Only like 80 something yards total in the 1st half.
They still put up 24 points on offense with no #1 WR, and a backup LT who got abused by Michael Johnson for like 15 sacks/Qb hits combined.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
the blatant PI call from McCourty definitely cost them the game, however, to say the refs poor calling on both teams didn’t play a role in how the game played out is incorrect. pats and ravens both had drives extended on incorrect/borderline calls that the regular refs never would have made.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:32 AM

Not necessarily. A hostile crowd and/or sideline could make these guys quicker on the trigger instead.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
What I don’t understand is how an NFL head coach has never been ejected. If they are berating an official during the game just eject their ass, they will learn their lesson. And if they wait until after the game to do it, suspend them. Problem solved.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Haslett’s D gave up TDs of: 70+, 50+, and 40+ yards to the BENGALS. Just another day at the office for him.

Not sure about hockey but it seems that football is the only sport where a coach doesn’t get ejected.

September 24th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
The 70+ play was actually a WR pass. THe Ginger had nothing to do with it. Otherwise, yea, big plays from the ginger.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
I wondered about that too? They do it in baseball.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
I just think that it played out equally terrible for both teams, so you can’t say, “If the regular refs were there, the Pats would have won.”
September 24th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
If the regulars refs were there, the Pats still wouldn’t have won a Superbowl since before Spygate.

The 70 yard bomb was from a rookie WR in the Wildcat formation.
AJ Green is the man.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
it’s happened before if i recall correctly, years ago. in most cases the refs do listen to the coaches and give them some feedback, but i can see why the coaches are so pissed at this since they know the rules better than these officials and that’s not helping at all.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:39 AM
No, it wasn’t that he called a timeout, it’s that he got a free one by asking for and getting a measurement on a ball that was marked a yard and a half short, so that he could have time for his coaches to review the replay and then challenge the spot.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Dick Lebeau gave up TD drives of 80, 80, 50, and 30 to Carson f’ing Palmer.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
He shouldn’t have been allowed to challenge in the first place. His timeouts were gone.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
you’re right, however, if that FG was to the right by 6 more inches, today we’d be hearing about how the ref’s cost the ravens the game by calling Ed Reed for unsportsmanlike conduct, etc and how ray rice stuck a shiv in the refs in the post game crowd if they lost.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
And I have defended the replacement refs over the past few weeks, but last night’s game was far beyond anything I’d seen before. I did enjoy it, and except for the outcome, I wouldn’t mind seeing the rest of the season play out. But it was a terrible job by guys in way over their heads.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
Can I just make a joke about Dalton being a weird looking ginger?
September 24th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
Fine. The replacement refs suck. Whatever.
As Kyle Shanahan is a direct product of nepotism, he really has no business chasing anyone down to provide commentary on how they do their job.
If he didn’t win the Ovarian Lottery, Kyle Shanahan might be coaching high school ball right now and teaching typing (or whatever bullshit classes they make high school coaches teach nowadays).
September 24th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Oops. I think we’re talking about different Harbaughs.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
it was the correct call
September 24th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
No, it wasn’t that he called a timeout, it’s that he got a free one by asking for and getting a measurement on a ball that was marked a yard and a half short, so that he could have time for his coaches to review the replay and then challenge the spot.
I think he was referring to the other Harbaugh. The one who’s more unlikable and was coaching against the vikings.
getting a measurement on a ball that was marked a yard and a half short, so that he could have time for his coaches to review the replay and then challenge the spot
The spot was horrendous. This was one instance where two wrongs make a right.

It would probably hurt Steelers fans even more if it was Jason Campbell instead.

Need to keep your murder-participating Ravens straight.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
The ones I mentioned were single plays, created thanks to Haslett stupidly sticking with Cover 0, even after it has been abused for 2 games.

I still think yesterday’s top moment was when Rob Ryan started mouthing off to a ref, the ref told him to STFU, and Rob STFU. Hilarious.

September 24th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
i wasn’t arguing it wasn’t the correct call. i said that pentaly mccourty committed cost them the game, however, all the wrong calls that both sides benefited from h ad a direct impact of how the game played out as there were multiple “penalties” one of the defenses made that ended up in a scoring drive that shouldn’t have happened if the regular refs were calling the game. both teams benefited from phantom calls on 3rd down that extended drives.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
To be fair, they only moved up one spot (four in coaches).
September 24th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
Honestly, I think Kyle was simply chasing down that ref because he wanted to compare fantasy scores with him.

and then mark it off 20 yards instead of 15.
They got 20 yards because of a 5 yard false start, then the run off hubbub, followed by the 15 yard penalty.

My favorite part of that is two people dropped into the Schaub post late yesterday to claim that Mays did not hit him with his helmet.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
there was a debacle in the AZ/PHI game too where the refs basically took a down away. 1st down, personal foul 9 yards down field, making it 1st and 16. 2nd down, holding penalty and a sack. PHI accepted the holding penalty, should have been 1st and 26, instead they made it 2nd and 26 after a long discussion. Cards came up short 2 plays later and should have still had 1 more play. Didn’t cost them the game, but still a debacle.

What’s your definition of “truly good.” If I remember correctly, Matt Flynn was just “not terrible” when he was at LSU and was a 7th round pick. Granted “not terrible” is pretty good for a LSU QB.

C’Mon now, he recruited Ryan Perilloux who turned out to be an all-time knucklehead, Russell Shephard who was the No. 1 rated dual threat QB and is now a terrible wide receiver, Gunner Kiel who bolted for ND, Zach Lee who opted for baseball, and he’s got Phillip River’s little brother on the team.

Also, it was 25 yards they marked off instead of 20 for the false start and personal foul.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:12 PM
I’ve yet to see the physics defying picture that shows his head going forward as he takes a helmet to helmet hit from the front. However, I do see the pic that hsows the 8 on is back blowing out as he takes that hit.

You are confusing the angle of his helmet and the angle of his head. The crown of Mays’ helmet hit Schaub’s facemask.

Shanahan needs to settle down just a bit. He’s one of the worst offensive coordinators in the NFL so he might be wearing the black and white stripes and start officiating once his daddy is bounced out of the NFL and no one else will hire the big pussy.
