Damn
Broncos fire longtime coach Shanahan
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Denver Broncos, Mike Shanahan
The blockbuster of the coaching season just came in: The Denver Broncos fired Mike Shanahan.
Shanahan had three years and upwards of $20 million remaining on his contract.
Shanahan, who just completed his 14th season at the helm of the Broncos, was the longest tenured coach in franchise history. He also held the title of executive vice president of football operations.
The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach guided the Broncos to nine winning seasons, seven playoff berths and three conference championships. The Broncos finished 8-8 this season, missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

Too bad he hates Al Davis' guts after he fired him after 1 season in Oakland. He would be a good fit for the Raiders.
-
he deserves it, that teams a shell of what it was just 3 years ago
14 years, but the last 9 w/o a SB. good coach, not great though.
interesting to see where he goes...i want the Jets to get Cowher
-
^id rather Cowher myself, but he said he wont come back; so Mikey boy will do for me. ;) 8)

wow. denver is dumb as fuck.....well some team out there will come up.

Not sure if Romeo would ant to go back to the DC position but if the Detroit Lions sign Shanahan and Romeo they'd be a serious Superbowl contender in 2 to 3 years. And might even make the playoffs the first year they get those two, given the division.

^coaches are great, but u need players 2 lol

Tell that to the football fans in Miami. 1-15 to 11-5 because new coaches brought in a new direction. It would have been tougher with out a vet QB but my guess is if Chad wasn't coming someone would have been available. They just needed a guy that knew to throw the ball away when the open man wasn't easy to find. Not a knock against Chad. I really like him. But you put him on last year's team and they'd still be last in the league.

he lions need 2 players only....
peyton manning & A.P.

true, but Dolphins made a lot of key additions in the off-season..maybe not 1 BIG player, but multiple players which were an upgrade.

they may beat the titans

And you think the Lions won't. First they have the draft picks. Then they have the free agents popping up and Shanahan and Romeo would find the type of guys they work best with. The Detroit Lions are not going to look like the same team next year regardless of who coaches them. You don't go 0-16 one year and keep the same team the next year.

^they have been BAD for years and havent brought in shit. if history serves us correct, they once again will pass on taking a QB ::)

Fisher got rid of a good qb in Volek so that might be why he was left off the list. But anytime bad stuff happens 2 the Donkeys is great 4 me :) ;D but honestly, I feel that Shanahan should just be stripped of the total control. Nobody wins with total control anymore. But I heard that why he might have been fired. It benefited Holmgren. Just coach. Shanahan messed up trading Portis, shoulda paid him what he deserved, then concentrate on the defense in the draft.
-
Volek is still a backup to this day..i don't think we miss him.

i think the colts win, beat the titans and beat the steelers
giants beat the eagles and the falcons/panthers, and then beat the colts in the SB
thast my dream scenerio :D

Mine too, but since I'm an older brother not a younger one I'll take the Colts in the final.

Colts ain't beatin' the Titans

Colts ain't beatin' the Titans
They have to beat the Chargers first.

the 8-8 chargiers:
w/o Merriman, w/ a slow L.T. and a moron head coach
advantage Colts
-
colts will beat the chargers, but i dunno 'bout them steelers
i'm pretty sure ravens takin' care of MIA so Colts can't play Titans 'til conf. finals

HES COMING TO THE JETS! 8)
He don't wanna go there. Dang, who wants the Jets job? Shanahan don't wanna go there, Cowher don't, Belichick didn't wanna coach them in 2000 & they had a SB caliber team at the time. Well superior to the Pats at the time. And to think the offseason was gonna be more interesting than the playoffs but its starting to look boring now.

Parcells took it in 1997...
BB left because he didn't wanna be in Parcell's shadow
but he took envelopes of money and never returned it to the Jets. what a scumbag.

There are just times when you just gotta say FUCK WHAT THE MEDIA THINKS. I always hated the Jets & glad they didn't get them superbowls...unless if they had 2 go against NE, Denver & Frisco but you just don't quit on a SB caliber team if it fell in your lap. You run with it. Especially at that time when he was probably the worst coach ever when he ran the Browns into the ground & turned them into the Cleveland Clowns, the AFC version of the 90-98 Rams. With them he made Ray Handley look like a genius. Sorry in bringing that name up, that name still might bring nightmares to die hard Giants fans.

lol
the jets are the reason the NFL is what it is now
before they beat the Colts the AFL was the "USFL" or XFL of the '60s
since that game its been all downhill
least the jets are better historically than the bills, saints, lions, vikings, cards, texans, seabags, bungals, jaguars and arguably the post-Jim Brown Clowns.
oh and the crappyass Eagles too.
