Almost 10 years worth quite honestly. Allen has been rumored a couple of times before to come here. And it definitely intensified in the last 18 months. The feeling among most though was that Allen and Snyder would always be in close contact but wouldn't necessarily ever officially ever team up, just because they had come so close before only for one of them to decide not to move forward with it.

I think Shanahan is better than who we have, and probably whoever might be available, but there are two things that bug me about his record:

The Broncos have had the best home record in pro football over the past 32 years
He has won only one playoff game without Elway / Davis

Now, his results might be better in Washington, but if there's one thing that is a common theme is that people get worse when they come here. Still, winning two super bowls back to back requires significant coaching and personnel. Hopefully if we bring the right personnel here with our new FO layout, we will enjoy some good football around here.

the bears always do things the cheapest way. and if Smith got fired, they would owe him a lot of cash. i heard around 5 million. ain't going to happen

Yeah, I can read maybe one page over there just cuz the color scheme is so crazy. I didn't see a link either.

I don't think there was a link. It seemed like they were talking about something Casserly said on TV or Radio.

With Allen on board, I suspect Bill Muir might be a possibility for the coaching staff as well. He's in KC right now.

We shall see

Didn't he work for Gruden as O-line coach or OC? If that's the case then is the door shut on Gruden?

Unless Gruden is the biggest secret I don't see him coming here. We keep hearing how he's stuck in his contract and nothing more. By all accounts we keep hearing how Shanahan was supposed to be a package deal with Allen, shanahan is in talks with DS, Shanahan is calling around trying to assemble a coaching staff and on and on. Gruden not a peep other then he worked with Allen in Tampa.

I think it's safe to say Shanahan will be here at the end of the season. Reports now are that DS offered the job to him back in March. DS tried to get him to come to the Skins back in 2000. DS visits him(Shanny) at the break although it was reported DS was helping out a Charity only to have it come out he visited Shanny and tried to get him to take the job at the break. Reports are DS and Shanny are pretty good friends and talk all the time since they met up back in 2000 at some confrence.

We should be more concerned at this point with who will Shanny bring with him...as position coach's and scouts. I'm really interested in who the WR coach, Special Teams coach, and OL coach.

I'd like to see

M. Shanahan- HC/president
Kubiac- Asst. HC/Senior OC
K. Shanahan- OC
A. Gibbs- OL

WR and ST I have no clue as to who we could get.

On a side note Jerry Rice might not have coached before but do you guys think he could be brought in as Asst. to the WR coach if paid well enough to pass on his abilities and work out routine. Especially his off season work out routine? Then to round out the team maybe a blast from the past Darrel Green to be Asst. defensive backs coach.

he was with tb right?

So if/when Shannhan comes here... Do you think we end up keeping Portis another year considering they've worked together in the past?

MTK · 12-21-2009, 09:11 AM

I can't help but think that there's a mystery head coach candidate that is completely off the radar. Look at past moves of the Danny, he usually finds a way to make a move that nobody saw coming. Gibbs was a shocker, nobody saw Marty coming, and even the Vinny/Allen drama last week came as a surprise. The Shanahan rumors almost seem too obvious. I think something else is cooking.

good point. let's throw out some possibilities:
Keeping Zorn
Jerry Gray or Danny Smith
Marty
Fassel
Grimm
P. Carroll or other big name college coach

Good guesses. Might add Billick to that list. Wouldn't totally disregard Cowher.

But I think if it's not Shanahan. You might look at some other choices such as Shanahan's son, Marty's son, Mike Zimmer, and Leslie Frazier. But at this point we're getting into like Plan J
