Mike Shanahan will not be the coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2010 according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Schefter reported that the former Broncos coach is instead “eying other situations.”

With the Dallas Cowboys out of Shanahan’s picture, the likelihood that he winds up with the Washington Redskins only grows.

It has been widely reported that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has been in talks with Shanahan for some time and went so far as to hire him twice in the past year.

The timing may not have been right then. It is now.

The Redskins hired Bruce Allen as their new general manager this past week.

Shanahan and Allen have presented themselves as a package in the past when opportunity knocked in Buffalo.
