Where NFL Coaches go to Retire...

DENVER, Colo. - Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was introduced as the new head coach of the Washington Redskins at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

The exact terms of the agreement were not released. However it's believed to be a five-year contract worth approximately $7 million a year.

The Broncos fired Shanahan following the 2008 season in which the team failed to make the playoffs for the third straight year. He had three years remaining on his deal at the time of his firing.

According to the Denver Post, the Broncos will pay Shanahan, 57, approximately $3.5 million in 2010 and 2011.

The Washington Redskins dismissed Jim Zorn as head coach a day after the team finished the season with a 4-12 record.

Shanahan has a 154-103 career head coaching record with two Super Bowl victories.

One name - Marty Schottenheimer...

C'ya!
