SAN DIEGO -- The quarterback and the head coach -- at least in title and at least for a few more hours -- walked through the concrete tunnel, two of the last members of the Redskins to exit Qualcomm Stadium.

Jason Campbell walked alone and 20 feet behind Jim Zorn, with a couple of team employees at either side. Zorn stepped in silence, his eyes cast at the ground in front of him. The coach's fate was all but sealed. The quarterback's, though, not quite as certain.

'I don't know what's going to happen,' Campbell said following the Redskins' 23-20 loss to the Chargers, in what amounted to the final game of the 2009 season, the final game of Zorn's tenure as head coach and quite possibly the final game of Campbell's run as Washington's starting quarterback.

Shanahan and wife Peggy landed at Dulles International Airport near Redskins Park in mid-afternoon and were driven away in a limousine to meet with owner Dan Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen.

It was quiet at Redskins Park on Monday. This time next week, it may not be so quiet, though.

The Redskins head into Sunday's season finale against the San Diego Chargers with uncertainty at both safety positions.

The Washington Redskins have interviewed one of the team's assistants for the head coaching position, the head of the group that monitors the Rooney Rule said Monday.

Considering the way the Washington Redskins have played in the first half of games this season, it was fitting that Jason Campbell threw an interception on their first drive Sunday night at FedEx Field.

Jim Zorn knew his status as head coach of the Washington Redskins was tenuous back when his team was 1-1 - and coming off a victory, no less.

I know I am going to get blasted for some of my ideas but with the way the team is playing, we seem have found a chemistry.

The Washington Redskins haven't had much to hang their helmets on during what has been a dysfunctional season at best.

New York Giants' wide receiver Hakeem Nicks and Washington Redskins Carlos Rogers grad each others facemasks during during the fist quarter at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on December 21, 2009.

As I sat and watched the Monday Night Football debacle last night, they kept flashing the camera up to the booth to show Bruce Allen, the new general manager of the Washington Redskins.

Hours after Bruce Allen was hired as Dan Snyder's first general manager, Washington Redskins coach Jim Zorn said Allen would benefit from a three-week head start on evaluating the entire organization.

Now that Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has made the move no one thought he ever would, it's time to do something else no one thinks he will.

In what had already been a tumultuous season for the Washington Redskins, players walked into Redskins Park on Thursday morning and were met with news of yet another major shakeup within the organization: Vinny Cerrato, the executive vice president of football operations, had resigned and would be replaced immediately by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen.

The change came as a surprise to those in the locker room, many of whom said they did not believe Cerrato would ever step down, and was met with varied reactions -- including some players who appeared to openly welcome the move.

The Washington Redskins overhauled their front office Thursday morning, hiring Bruce Allen as general manager after the resignation of Vinny Cerrato.

Ganther has impressed in limited work in the last four games. Time to see what he can do on a bigger scale.

When cornerback Carlos Rogers was victimized for two long touchdowns and several other completions earlier this year, he found himself on the Washington Redskins' sideline.

Long gone is the sentiment that the Washington Redskins' defense would need to bail out the team's anemic offense if Washington was to win many games. In each of the past three weeks, quarterback Jason Campbell and the offense built fourth-quarter leads, only to watch on the sideline as the defense took the field and relinquished them.

Statistically, the defensive unit is still one of the league's best, but late in games it has given up big plays and long drives that have cost the Redskins potential wins against playoff-caliber teams.

Kicker Shaun Suisham hasn't cost the Washington Redskins nearly as many points as free safety LaRon Landry, yet it is Suisham who found himself unemployed this week in the fallout from after another tough loss.

Operating at arguably the highest level of his career, Campbell has thrown for 946 yards and five touchdowns since halftime of the Denver game, including a career-high 367 yards in last week's loss to New Orleans.
