Updated/Merged: Shanahan Rumors (Will He or Won't He?)

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Someone will want to coach in DC. But, it would not surprise me if a few guys (even lower profile ones) turned us down. It's pretty sad that Spags turned us down and ended up accepting a job with the Rams.

Exactly, someone is going to look at this team and see all the talent and think they can turn us around. Will that be a Shannahan or a Holgrem or so on only time will tell.

yeah, and so far he's done an awesome job...

Shanahan isn't the answer. That incredibe run in 96-98 was with Elway & TD. His last three years were 24-24.

Shanahan hasn't done jack without Elway and people forget the awful defenses he had and drafting guys like that loser RB from Ohio State. Is he not responsible for those things? Remember the defensive players he got from Cleveland? Yeah, that worked out real well. :frusty:

Denver does have a pretty good oline though

Just look at the Broncos now without Shanahan 5-0. Screw Shanahan, Gruden and Cowher.

I agree with these two thoughts. Shanahan did put a good O together, but he also let his D go forever. I don't know what the next tandem will be, but I will be happier if Shanahan isn't included

Yeah...make all the excuses you want. There are first year coaches out there having success with new talent.

Every excuse in the book has been used here as if it should make some difference. Point is...there are football people on new teams in the NFL making decisions that are making their team successful. The common denominator is that they are doing things their way, even if they're new to the position.

Do you suppose Snyder would be laissez-faire if our new head coach was having a stalemate conflict with our star WR?

You can even bring Lombardi from the dead, as long as Danny has VC as our GM this team will flop around like a wounded flounder. If there was a coach I bring in, it would be either Cam Cameron or Jim Harbaugh.

I agree. As nothing more than the head coach, he's an upgrade from the current situation. But if Little Danny wants to get him right now, he's gonna have to throw a mountain of titles and money at him. Which he will. And we won't be any better for it. And the circus will continue to sputter along.

Big money and big names. Win or lose, it's how Danny rolls. God forbid he ever follow the blueprint for success that the bell cow organizations have set.
