Shanahan fired?!

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.

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).

Cowher had a slightly better record than Shanahan.

Shanahan had Elway ... Cowher had steroids and ref pay-offs.

His style is not the best fit (he likes 4-3 ) and likes to pound the rock with zone blocking ...we need a better Center for that to happen...
anyways...i would blow it all up if he was the guy building..he is WAYYYYY more apealing then Cowher...Fresh Blood...

We probably need a new center anyway. And our left side is perfectly suited for a ZBS scheme.
But you're right about his defense: not necessarily a 4-3 issue, but he needs a very strong DC.

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.

Just when I thought the Jets lost their minds for firing a Head Coach that wins - I couldn't believe Denver fired Shanahan. WTF? He's SOOOOO GOOD Kubiak hired Shanahan's son as his OC.

Shanahan has the total control ego. He was HC and GM. He does have that same irritating Asshole attitude, but he is a proven winner. One thing for sure is he won't be interviewing for the Oakland job.
One complaint that I heard about him was that he drafted like Butch Davis. He laid out a draft board with the scouts and when it came time to draft he went off the board and took a flyer on a guy. I remember Clarrett and people almost shit.
Reports from ESPN and the Denver Post is that he is willing to take the $20 million and sit back and see what comes up next year.

Randy should be waving piles of cash under Shanahan's nose as we speak. The guy gets the most out of his talent and is a proven winner.
Our 4-12 team had more talent this season than his 8-8 team. We had Denver beat in that Thursday night game until Shanny adjusted and Homely-O had no answer.
He's my pick for HC with a bullet. Get him here......NOW!

LOVE Shanahan. Can't believe they fired him with only two players on their entire roster (Cutler and Marshall). The GM is the one who should be grilled. That roster is EMPTY.They did fire their GM. Shanahan was both. That was the problem.
