The Washington Redskins have fired head coach Mike Shanahan, both the Washington Post and Fox Sports' Jay Glazer are reporting.

It's the least surprising of the "Black Monday" firings so far.

The Redskins finished with the second-worst record in the league a year after winning the NFC East. Robert Griffin III struggled to recover from a knee injury, and the defense finished 31st in points allowed. Shanahan also engaged in a strange power struggle in RGIII, benching him for the final two games of the year.

He was 24-40 in four years with the Redskins.

As of 9:30 a.m., the Texans, Vikings, Browns, and Redskins all have coaching vacancies.
