Like Josh McDaniels did. McDaniels got fired (probably prematurely) for a number of things he did that were unprofessional and created a losing culture. I don't think Kyle Shanahan has done anything unprofessional while he's been here, and sure his offense might work, but if Gary Kubiak is available and wants to coordinate Mike Shanahan's offense and we don't go after him because the role of OC on this team is already filled by Kyle, how committed to winning is this team?

Kyle Shanahan would land on his feet and would go on to a pretty nice coaching career if he got fired, but if Mike Shanahan has the guts to tell Donovan McNabb that he's just not good enough for his offense, but doesn't have the guts to tell his son that he has someone better to run his offense...well, that's why you don't hire your offspring, at least before you're established at your current job.
