Mike Shanahan Fired

[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

Dont have a link but its on the espn clicker. Wow!

 

[rexvol]

wow

Guess he'll no longer be riding the coattails of John Elway.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Anyone think Kiff will try and gauge Bates interest again?

Didn't see a whole lot of Elway when the Broncos went to the AFC Championship in 2005.

I say if we get O yes, but if O doesnt come here he will go after Gonzo to get that Ace recruiter here.

 

[Heebs]

Wow. So I guess you don't get a pass for sending 6 running backs to the IR?

Obviously that team's weakness was defense, but the man was a good coach. I'd take him if Foxy wasn't so damn good.

And Dan Reeves rode on Elway's coat tails too.

Reeves got the same result with the Falcons that he got with Elway in Denver. Ironically, Shanahan and Elway were the ones that smacked Atlanta around in the Super Bowl.

 

[toxicdonut]

Wow, was not expecting that. He was really more of an offensive coordinator and the defense was solely on the D-coordinator. The defense has been a joke since firing Larry Coyer.

 

[dickens821]

Wtf

 

[hmanvolfan]

Broncos have been mediocre for a while.

 

[toxicdonut]

He did a great job with Cutler, though. If we had any sort of at least an average defense and not an 8th string running back, we would have been pretty good. Damn those "ifs"

 

[volsgal03]

I cant believe that, I bet he was even shocked!

 

[TrueOrange]

Wow. Completely caught me off guard.

 

[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

I heard Broncos owner Pat Bolen say one time that Shanahan had " a job for life with the Broncos." Guess not.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Wonder if he said he could've gotten the team back on the right track...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

What about all of the choke jobs his teams have pulled. The last 3 games this year. The last game of the '06 season. Or the one playoff win since '98.

 

[toxicdonut]

Yeah, Bowlen said Shanny was his coach for life before this season.

 

[Lexvol]

I'd blame it all on Cutler. Seems to be working for Mangini.

 

[Heath Shuler]

He should go to the jets. He could be in the playoffs next season that way. :rock:

Mike Holmgren has plenty of choke jobs in his career. I think he'll be able to find another job if he wants one. The team this year flat out sucks. His playoff losses have come against the 2 of the three best teams in the AFC over the last few years. One of the them ended up winning the Super Bowl.

sure would like to see him in chicago, but the ownership just sucks. they will keep lovie around and miss the playoff's for the next 2 seasons.
