Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

It sounds crazy at first but I think this team (talent-wise) is very similar to the one Mike inherited with the exception at QB, where this squad gets the clear edge on talent. But the other similarity is there's almost no depth, which was the main complaint about the roster he inherited. Where did we start the season with proven/quality depth outside WR and possibly TE? Obviously not in the secondary. And not on the d-line either because as soon as Carriker went down the d-line couldn't make an impact. Same can be said for LB. Offensively, we have no real depth at QB, RB, OL. We have ok depth at TE and WR, but outside of Moss nothing special (yet) among the guys still healthy.

Or, it's the really, really bad coaching on both sides of the ball. We won't know until a new regime takes over, but my gut is there's sufficient talent to win more games than we lose even with four or five starters out, apart from RG3.
