Broncos Fire Shanahan

[LT Profits]

Wow.

[bigblue74]

he was over rated piece of scum

[rjt721]

Wow. Never thought I'd live to see this day.

[diogee]

A little bit of a surprise but guess one could say it was to be expected after the performance of the team in recent years.

[LT Profits]

Big choke down the stretch did him in.

Broncos fire Mike Shanahan

ESPN is reporting that Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was fired today.

[unit1884]

Dont see the point of firing a good coach when the players were the problem...

Coaches take way too much blame.

Hard to win without John Elway.

[bigblue74]

was mike shananhan fired?

[daggerkobe]

Raiders should hire him.

[Bread]

Nobody likes a smartass RJT.

[Bluehorseshoe]

If the Cowboys don't fire Philips and sign Shanahan, they're idiots.

That's a great fit.

It's always been easier to fire 1 coach (or coaching staff) than 53 players.

and LT was right, when you're up four with four to play and choke it off like they did...the blame starts at the top.

I wonder if he'll be an NFL head coach this year, or take a year off.

[rjt721]

Nobody likes me anyway, Bread.

Is that Rick Fox?

[l7ustin]

For real Blueshoe.

Shanahan cant take the blame for 8 injured running backs 10 out of 11 injured defensive starters etc...

[l7ustin]

Shanahan consistently drafts well. The guy is a top coach and is very underrated. I cant believe this...

[The Seer]

Raiders should hire him.

Not sure if you're joking but they hate each other, would never happen again.

[diogee]

Had a pretty good run in Den overall.

[Doc JS]

I've asked Illusion to go ahead and delete this thread...

Doc

[Bread]

Yes...Rick Fox on his stint on Oz. Good stuff.

[pico]

where will he go now?

[ChampDog]

Al Davis is like Darth Vader, he could not kill Luke aka Kiffin so he is going after Oby Wan Shanahan

The Broncos finished 8-8 this season, missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

It's a "what have you done for me lately" league, and Shanny hadn't done enough, in the eyes of the owner, to stay...

You never know with that senile Davis.

He rehired Art Shell and the OC who was running a bed & breakfast at the time.

[frostno98]

This a fvckin sad moment right now. Fvckin unbelievable. I would of gave the guy at least two more season without a playoff berth, then can him. I'm still stunned by this because I was reading the Denver post a few minutes ago until I saw this.

[Immortality]

This was a bad move by the Broncos. Totally disagree with it. Injuries cost the Broncos this year not the coaching.

[jjgold]

Mike is a good coach, he needs a change

He will get another job

[Tsoprano]

You're fired!

[pavyracer]

I can't believe Shanahan was fired before Philips.

[The Seer]

I can't believe Shanahan was fired before Philips.

I can. Jerry Jones is fukked up.
