So now a 3-3 team is better than when Shanahan was coaching in Denver?....lol That's simply hating just for the sake of hating. Yeah, we should have brought in Jeff Fischer, who's currently got the same record as Mike. (3-5)

It was a fluke. 3 passes. 2 of those passes were over 50 yard YAC. Look at the game and the stats and come back and tell me exactly how amazing Tebow was. Which is why he got curb stomped by New England.....AND he got traded that following off-season. You really aren't helping your case here.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I think Mike has improved the personell on this team and except for the secondary put it in pretty good shape for the next HC and his new assistant coaches.

I think this is an optimistic way to view it. The team is significantly younger and has some talent. But we need to get an architect in here at some point.

Could an architect and Shanahan co-exist? Stranger things have happened.

It would be VERY strange GTripp. Mike is pretty much known as a control freak. My biggest problem with him is that his defenses pretty much suck and if he would leave that side of the team alone (including hiring the DC) he would be more successful. 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.

That's a really, really good way to look it at. Realistic, yet optimistic at the same time. Leave it to 53 to bring in the sage wisdom

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Players get the blame. The coaching should prevent the players (even seasoned ones like Moss) from dropping them. This team never made the flight to Pitt.

You must not watch football. Denver has turned around its football team 10 fold since Mike was fired. I mean....they are 23-31 since Mike was fired!! SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Some of you farm animals apparently didn't watch the games against Atlanta, Minnesota, and the Giants. Acting like the whole team has been flat for a month.
