I have a friend that lives in Denver that said he's heard rumors that Shanahan could be fired. Not sure how accurate that is, but there are a lot of people that think he's really messed up this season AND last season after that dropping Plummer for Cutler fiasco. 2 consecutive disasters could mean a ticket out of town. That would shock the NFL community, but it's not out of the question.
I think Mangini could be let go as well. He brought a lot of negativity to NY this year and terrible publicity that the Jets brass can't be happy with. Sure he had a great season last year, but having a similar team this year and getting a whopping 3 wins and destroying his own rep can't be good for his future.
We saw what happened to Schottenhiemer last year, what if the Chargers are dismissed 1st round? Is Norv on the block then?

Imagine that, a team goes to afc championship after back to back superbowls and they fire the coach (Shanahan) after two slow rebuilding seasons.
