Head Coach: Mike Shanahan
Offensive Coordinator: Kyle Shanahan
Defensive Coordinator: Jim Haslet
Special Teams Coordinator: Possibly Bobby April

QB's: Chris Meidt (Holdover form previous regime)
RB's: Bobby Turner (Also will serve as Associate Head Coach)
WR's: Richard Mann
TE's: Possibly Scott Wachenheim
OL: Still looking

LB's:Lou Spanos
DL: Possibly Mike Waufle
DB's: Bob Slowick (There will probably be another coach specializing in safeties or corners)

Chris Meidt I guess could be QB coach but right now I think they have him listed as Offensive Asst.

Richard Mann, I could be wrong but I don't think he has been offered or said he would take the job as of yet. He was supposed to come for an interview and thats all we know right now. You might want to put "possibly" in front of him also.

Waufle might be a nice pick up so long as he's familiar with a 3-4 defense and it's blocking scheme.

Also I do like the fact that Shanahan is not picking up a bunch of old guys that may have had the game pass them bye or getting ready to retire if and when his son takes over. I hope 3-5 yrs down the road we have a nice young coaching staff still producing good results.

Lastly I still say they need to get April in. Give him more then the highest bidder and talk him into taking the deal. If he's not available who else is available or second best? I just can't stand Smith. HC's talk all the time about the importance of special teams and how thats what makes or breaks your team and Shanahan, Allen, and Snyder are going to just let him slip away? Please. We need this one.

I know Shanahan will have the Offense turned around soon maybe not completely in one year but maybe by year two. The Defense is what I'm more worried about since we are going to change scheme's to a 3-4 and possibly adding and subtracting personell. Haslett I don't think inspires fear with his medocre defenses in the past. Maybe they come out like gang busters and we can forget about it (which I hope happens) but I'm a little concered. So having an awsome ST is very important. Field position will be very important.
