Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I do think he has a lot to offer on the offense. But....would he ever be willing to do that?

I mean, you could rationally consider keeping Mike as an HC in title only i.e. his input is strictly limited to the offense. But even if he would agree to it, which I think we all know given his monumental ego it'll never happen, but just for shits and giggles if he did it...what about the rest of the story?

We gotta at least consider the possibility Mike has lost the team at this point. My intuition is this will become increasingly obvious as the season wears on, which is why I say most of us here will agree it's time to move on by week 17.
