Broncos fire long-time coach Shanahan
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Denver Broncos, Mike Shanahan
The blockbuster of the coaching season just came in: The Denver Broncos fired Mike Shanahan.
Shanahan had three years and upwards of $20 million remaining on his contract.
Shanahan was the longest tenured coach in Broncos franchise history.

Go get him. I mean seriously, go get him!

NFL Network also just talked with Terell Davis who claims hes the bets play caller in the NFL ...and they said Pioli /Shanahan would win some games with a big smile.
~Silence is boring! -
it's definitely a very, very interesting albeit unexpected option. the zone blocking he runs would likely go over well here; we need to be able to run in the winter and we have at least two or three ideal linemen for his scheme.
his defenses have always been a bit lackluster, though. his choice of DC would be crucial. the cleveland castaway crew he had as his d-line in denver was deplorable.

Should this be a legit option for us. Shanahan has been a decent coach. Did win the big one. But hasn't done much lately. But then again, it's not always the coach either.

This isn't all to shocking. Shanahan lead Broncos really haven't done anything since Elway retired.

He said that other than Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, this team had no one. Zero. He thought this was a pretty good job by Shanahan to even get the Broncos into the position that they were, meaning down to the last game for a playoff spot. That said, yes, I know they collapsed at the end, and yes, they played in a crap division but still - over a 16 game haul they were still there at the end.

Not that many coaches out there with one Super Bowl ring, never mind two of them.
I know one thing about Shanahan (sp) and that he could generate some productivity out of the non-existent running game.
Intriquing possibility, IMHO.

This is huge, Shanahan is a proven HC and would do a great job here imo. We could pick up a RB in the draft that he sees fit. What he did with the Denver team is great, yes they choked at the end of the season. But they had no RBs, a horrid defense and a QB who is Elway one game and Ryan Leaf the next.

Denver reporter on ESPN Radio just now says he's in the middle of building a 35,000 square ft mansion in Denver.
He may just take the payout and ride into the sunset.

That's what I'm afraid of...
The possibility of Shanahan coming to Cleveland is too good to be true.

Career 4-2 record against the Steelers, 1-1 against them in the playoffs ('97 and '05 AFC Championship games).
