cutler - probowl, got 2 1st rounders for him
dumbervil (sp?) - league leader in sacks right now, 4th rounder?

im not sure exactly when and where these guys and others were drafted, and i havent done any research on the broncos, but thats a pretty good list off the top of my head. (again i am not sure if this is entirely accurate and im sure im leaving out some other solid picks/signings as well as some busts).

Sorry, but that looked pretty funny. I believe the spelling is Dumervil. Hard to remember though.

doesnt the broncos owe shanahan 7 mil next year and shanahan if shanahan gets a new HC job then the broncos dont have to pay him?

so the skins would have to poay shanahan more than 7 mil for the 1st year just for shan to consider it. but maybe we will pay him 10 mil b/c he could have 2 job titles.

shoot, what about jimmy johnson at this stage? (j/k)

honestly im starting to think we are not going to get one of the big names like shanahan, cowher, holmgren, gruden or schottenheimer (sp?).

shanny has declined us already (i think, at least at this stage), cowher has named teams not named the skins as interests, gruden extended with espn but i assume their is a clause allowing him to break K to coach again, holmgren wont touch this place w/ what they did to zorn, same for schotty.

i think with the way the DS does biz and treats coaches not named joe gibbs, no coach with a proven track record will come here. we will have to find another jim zorn (cam cameron/russ grimm) or take a jim fassel/brian billick/steve mariuchi unwanted type coach.

honestly, after what happened to marty, then the smear campaign against gregg williams, then the public castration of zorn . . .what coach with any amount of respect would come here? i think there was a reason zorn was named HC two years ago and i think what has happened to zorn only reinforced the impressions and notions other coaches had of what to expect if they came.

I would agree with you. Why would any coach who has any self respect want to come to DC and deal with our management? It doesn't matter who comes here he will be emasculated by Danny and Vinny.

Even with the Shanhan rumors flying, I wouldn't rule out Jerry Gray or Greg Blache being considered as candidates behind closed doors.

Gray possibly, though they are saying he's almost as good as gone to Memphis. As for Blache, I'm not sure he'd be (or should be) considered as a long term candidate. And as I understood it, the idea of interim coach was brought up to him and he declined that.

[MTK]

Just heard Marty on NFL radio say he has no interest in coming back for a GM role and as far as a head coach job goes, he said something like "after 30 great years I don't want to go down that road again". He really doesn't sound interested in coming back at all.

Yesterday was the first time I've felt that Zorn has a chance of coming back. I'm not saying it's probable, but I think it might be greater than we think.

I gotta tell you, I've been feeling that way for about two or three weeks. I think there's a great chance that he goes rather than stays, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if Jim Zorn is coach next year.

You know what's kind of funny? Just a month ago Jerry Gray was rumored to be our interim head coach the rest of the season...and now he might be the one gone before season's end.

Isn't it so he can take a head coach job in the college ranks and get there in time to start recruiting?
