Washington Redskins
In 2010, Shanahan left the Texans to join his father, Mike Shanahan, with the Washington Redskins. The Washington Redskins’ performance during his tenure led some to question whether Shanahan's hiring was an example of unearned nepotism.[9] In 2012, Shanahan was fined $25,000 for insulting the replacement officials and confronting one after a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.[10] On December 30, 2013, Kyle, along with his father and some of the coaching staff, were fired from the Washington Redskins.[11]
