Shanahan, Broncos Part Ways

Denver Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen today relieved Mike Shanahan from his position as Executive Vice President of Football Operations/Head Coach of the National Football League team, effective immediately.
Broncos owner Pat Bowlen issued the following statement: "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.”
Bowlen added, “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. His contributions hold a special place in Broncos history.”
Pat Bowlen will hold a press conference at the Denver Broncos’ headquarters on Wednesday at 11 a.m., and Mike Shanahan will meet the press shortly thereafter.

Next stop J-e-t-s, jets,jets,jets???

:think2:...this coaching firing season will continue all the way up to and possibly through the Superbowl.

Owners are in so much of a gotta do something now mentality.

I truly think with so many turn around seasons(Dolphins/Ravens/Falcons) they all believe they can go from loser to playoffs immediately. When actually those teams this season are not the norm.

Browns leadership team better be scheduling his flight NOW!

 

[FairWarning]

Lions would sell out all eight games if they hired him.

I was thinking the same thing.. I wonder who got thru to his agent first, The Jets or the Browns?

Maybe the Raiders??:nohead:

Who are your sources?...Do you have contacts in the Bronco organization..or were you smoking a joint hidden behind the shed in the back yard and a punk whispered as he passed the joint and tried to keep the smoke in..."Yo,I think Shanahans gone"...hmbaughhhhhh..cof cof cof

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Or did you just read the news a couple minutes before any other goon here could post:wink:

 

[Raffie]

Mike needs to go to Dallas

 

[JakeT.]

Pretty shocking. Shanahan is a proven winner with rings.

 

[quantumleap]

Donkeys can Shanny! Donkeys can Shanny!!

YES!!!!

This was inevitable when he started Cutler in the middle of a playoff run.

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

The rumor today says that Wade Phillips may not want to get to comfortable since Shanahan hit the market.

Jerry made his statement about no changes prior to Mike being available.

 

[LogansRun]

I think Wade stays one more year until Holmgren gets back into coaching. Then it's adios Wade.

Shanny was a proven winner with Elway & Terrell Davis. Since then he is a proven loser. Home losses to Jax, Oak, Buffalo plus the 3 game lead with 3 games left collapse made this firing an easy one. Wherever he goes, expect a good offense and no defense.
