I think Snyder's statement that nobody is satisfied w/ the team's record over the last two years shows he has learned very little. Refresh my memory, was his team any good before he hired Zorn? The last decade of failure is Snyder's failure...he's got a few dopes fooled but the vast majority aren't ready to take him serious.

I hope Mike brings a passion to win and he and Allen make the football decisions while Snyder stays out of it. I think we'll only know if this is the MO in a couple years, based on the W-L record.

They'd been to the playoffs twice in four years before Zorn. Plus owners are usually going to just refer the prevous regime. I mean I could be wrong but I don't think when the Lions hired Jim Schwartz they were like "for just about the entire franchise's history we have failed to live up to our expectations..."

I too am excited to become the 2004-2008 Denver Broncos. May we have at least as much success as they did.

maybe the 2002-2005 Broncos where they were top 10 in offense and defense. Except the 2002 defense which was ranked 15.

2002 9-7
2003 10-6
2004 10-6
2005 13-3

I guess some ppl ( skinnytee) would think hiring Jesus himself would be a bad hire lol Seriously man this is shanny's team, Allen will also have his say in every matter.. What would make you happy? I guess some people will never be satisfied..

Considering what we're leaving behind in terms of the decision makers at the top (Snyder/Vinny) the majority of us seem to be welcoming Allen/Shanahan with open arms.

There will always be those that are never happy or eternally pessimistic. Not much you can do about that.

Did Elway ever win a superbowl without Shanny? People keep throwing around the info that Shanny couldn't win without Elway. Well, Elway couldn't get the job done as well withouth Shannahan. Im guessing there was quite a few players that made the Shannahan/Elway era successful. We always give a coach or player to much credit.

Gtothearry · 01-05-2010, 10:00 PM

Im glad this is a done deal. The article also states that Shannahan will have the final say in football decisions. I don't see Shanny backing down to Snyder. The last guy that didn't back down was fired though.
