damn..
DAMN Shanahan is FIRED??!!!!
- Thread starter chops
- Start date
As the announcers would have you believe it Favre is "done"...they sound so smug and confident in their assumption that he won't be back I'd like to see him comeback just to shut them up...
Well we can show that niggu the door
Shocked the hell outta me!
7 rbs was on the IR,they picked up Tatum Bell towards the end of the season.
Ill take that further they only won 1 playoff game every since Elway retired
Denver's problem was their D was extremely weak. Shannahan aint fixed that shit for years. If they had lost to San diego respectively, he'd still be coach. But, damn having 51 pts dropped on you and being in 1st place all season, except for Sunday night, I'd fire his ass too. LOL
I agree with you on that,they hired Jim Bates one of the best defensive coordinator in the NFL couldnt fix the defense in one year...I think if they game Bates a few more years with his players the defense could of been in the top 15.

TO will be released...and Romo will be on lock and key....
True. It wasn't his fault. Damned owners can't understand that you can't always win. We could use him in Cleveland, though. He is better than any candidate out there I have seen.
Cosign
Jerry doesn't even understand the chance he is taking
You bring that pussy ass staff back and they lay another egg
Jones is an asshole, he won't do it......
I have a feeling he is gonna wish he did..
Why are people surprised, he hasn't done nothing with the team since the days of John Elway ... and Elway left damn near 10 years ago. Elway was his meal ticket, once he retired the Broncos haven't really been relevant in the NFL since. Yeah, they made the playoff, had winning seasons, but the team is still needing an identity since Elway left.
... but I do like their logo!
... but I do like their logo!
Denver put 8 RB on IR?????????? What are you talking about?
I feel that Denver has been in a daze since Williams was murdered.
From ESPN.....
Broncos fire Shanahan after 21 years with team
DENVER -- Mike Shanahan, the second longest-tenured NFL coach, was fired by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday after the team lost a three-game lead with three games to go in the AFC West.
Shanahan, 56, coached the Broncos since 1995, behind only Tennessee's Jeff Fisher in tenure with one team. He led the Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999 and compiled a record of 146-89 with the team.
In a statement, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said: "After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos. This is certainly a difficult decision, but one that I feel must be made and which will ultimately be in the best interests of all concerned."
This season, the Broncos had an 8-5 record but lost their final three, including a 52-21 defeat Sunday night in San Diego that gave the Chargers the division title. They are the first NFL team to blow a three-game lead with three games to go.
He also was dismissed as director of football operations.
Shanahan, who also served as offensive coordinator in Denver and San Francisco and was head coach of the Raiders in 1988 and for the first four games of 1989, has been regarded as one of the league's best offensive minds.
But the Broncos failed this season on defense, allowing 448 points, third worst in the NFL. They were 29th, or fourth worst, in yards allowed.
Shanahan had three years left on his contract, worth about $20 million.
"I appreciate the 21 years that Mike Shanahan has given to the organization as an assistant and head coach, and the two Super Bowl wins in that time," Bowlen said in the statement. "His contributions hold a special place in Broncos history."
Bowlen said that the team will hold a news conference on Wednesday morning to make the announcement, and Shanahan will speak shortly thereafter.
Shanahan's firing is likely to put him in demand by other teams that have fired coaches: the New York Jets, Detroit, and Cleveland.

Shannahan was a victim of his own success, when you win as much as he did it spoils the fans and the owner. Jeff Fisher still hasn't won a Super Bowl for the Titans and he still kept his job through those losing seasons, hell even Andy Reid wont get fired. I wouldnt suprise me if the Broncos hire Shannhan's son Kyle who currently the OC for the Houston Texans. At least he left the team with a franchise QB, WR, and LT.
It's a sad day for us Broncos fans.
