And he could coach the Oline.

Shanahan hasn't done jack without Elway and people forget the awful defenses he had and drafting guys like that loser RB from Ohio State. Is he not responsible for those things? Remember the defensive players he got from Cleveland? Yeah, that worked out real well. :frusty:

Denver does have a pretty good oline though

Hhhmmm....so a question from far left field. Let's say that Jeff Fisher is let go after this season (and could be a strong possibility) would you want him coaching the Redskins? He has had some bad seasons, but he has taken the Titans to the Super Bowl before and has several appearances in the playoffs.

Just look at the Broncos now without Shanahan 5-0. Screw Shanahan, Gruden and Cowher.

I agree. As nothing more than the head coach, he's an upgrade from the current situation. But if Little Danny wants to get him right now, he's gonna have to throw a mountain of titles and money at him. Which he will. And we won't be any better for it. And the circus will continue to sputter along.

Big money and big names. Win or lose, it's how Danny rolls. God forbid he ever follow the blueprint for success that the bell cow organizations have set.

Get him here now. It would really be awesome if Danny would hire Shannahan, Fire Zorn and Vinny. Then take a 3 years vacation out of the country. If only dreams came true...

I agree with these two thoughts. Shanahan did put a good O together, but he also let his D go forever. I don't know what the next tandem will be, but I will be happier if Shanahan isn't included

Yeah...make all the excuses you want. There are first year coaches out there having success with new talent.

Every excuse in the book has been used here as if it should make some difference. Point is...there are football people on new teams in the NFL making decisions that are making their team successful. The common denominator is that they are doing things their way, even if they're new to the position.

Do you suppose Snyder would be laissez-faire if our new head coach was having a stalemate conflict with our star WR?

You can even bring Lombardi from the dead, as long as Danny has VC as our GM this team will flop around like a wounded flounder. If there was a coach I bring in, it would be either Cam Cameron or Jim Harbaugh.

By the way, what secret formula does Josh McDaniel have that Shanahan didn't? McDaniel is 5-0 with Kyle Orton, not Cutler. Why couldn't Shanahan do that if he's such a genius?

I think shanahan became stagnant in Denver and it was just time for a change

Because he's not. But Snyder probably thinks he can buy the trophies these coaches won in the past. The problem is the trophies don't belong to the coaches, they belong to the ORGANIZATIONS. It started at the top.
