Broncos Fire Shanahan

Breaking News ...

The Broncos have fired Mike Shanahan.

Brian and Joel Glazer seen running for the phones. Gruden and Allen seen with the Deer in the headlights look.

This goes to prove that no coach in the league is automatically untouchable regardless of tenure or past successes. I for one think that Shanahan has a proven history of good game management and runs an effective ball control offense. This would be a good fit in my opinion for Tampa Bay. I am not sure I would give him Coach and GM responsibilities but Head Coach definetely.

Seriously, I am and have been a HUGE Gruden suppoter through all of the crap we have been through (since winning the Super Bowl).....

With that being said, I think it would be a fantastic move if Shannahan wanted to become a Buc. One of the main reasons I didn’t want to sign another coach was because there was nobody else out there that fit well here. Shanahan would look great in pewter and red.

I'm floored they let him go. Floored.

Terrible move that will bite them in the ass. I don’t care about his record since ‘99. The man has had a somewhat competitive team and won 2 SB’s. Knee jerk reaction, IMO.

Cannons... fire them.

I'm not really surprised

We are always asking for Grudens head every year and he’s taken us to the playoffs most years. Denver hasn’t been to the playoffs since I think 2003 or 4.

I like Shanahan and think he will be a good pickup for needed teem, but I don’t see how everyone is so surprised. If you think this was a bad call on Denver’s part then I don’t think you should have anything to say about Gruden because its close to the same situation.
