Dude this is a dream right?

Right their ripe for the plucking an entire staff top to bottom that ran one of
the most explosive WCOs in the league.
Dude, we should make everyone on his staff an offer.

Denver Broncos Coaching Staff

Anyone else see the the Broncos as the Anti-Redskins? lol

* LOST that glorious Super Bowl to us (with a #17 at the helm!)

* Long-Term Coach (no need to explain the opposite here)

* Above Average Offense (Redskins - Above Average Defense)

* Terrible Defense (Redskins - Terrible Offense)

* Terrible Division - AFC West (Redskins - one of toughest divisions - NFC East)

It's kinda funny he's getting canned... the other night as I watched their game I thought... Imagine if there was the "Bronskins" or "Redscos" where our defense is teamed with their offense...

Super Bowl contender!!

By the way... Zorn recently said that he didn't think he was over his head doing 3 jobs and plans to remain QB coach (with help from Meidt), OC (with help from S Smith) and HC... maybe a new receiver coach, and maybe Buges hangs it up though...

The Broncos defense has been gashed all year, and with Shanahan in full control of personnel, the blame had to go somewhere. Looks like the Broncos' offense has a formidable trio of players with Cutler, Royal, and Marshall though.

He won't have trouble finding another job. I could see him in Kansas City if their new front office is done with Herman Edwards.

I'd be interested to know if Shanahan discussed staying on as a head coach while surrendering his GM powers, a la Holmgren a few years ago. While his game management is second to none, failure is not a strong enough word to describe his personnel decisions of the last several seasons, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

If Cowher comes back this year it will be for this job, mark it down.

The immediate speculation in some league circles when word broke of the termination of long-time Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is that Shanahan has something else cooking.Posted by GMScud via...some ......newspeople

Does not Shanahan have ties to Jerry Jones???

He does have a relationship with Jones, they were speculating this morning on ESPN radio that he could end up there. I wouldn't put it past Jones despite what he's saying about keeping Phillips.

Yeah, he'll keep Phillips as his DC. Wasn't Phillips Shanahan's DC in Denver?

I hope this isn't true. Phillips is a wonderful HC for the Cowgirls. :cool-smil

i really respect shannahan, i would hate to see him head over to dallass. the one thing that team needs is a strong HC and i would be down right scared next year if he does join the boys.

As long as JJ thinks he knows personnel I don't think there's alot to be concerned about with Dallas. And don't forget about TO, they'll continue to be a weekly soap opera with him there.

it would be scary to give him that much talent! I bet he could bring the cowboys to the SB in two years! Well, maybe not with Romo.

Shannahan played his guts out.
