Mike Shanahan should be fired - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 12-29-2008, 10:15 PM

Denver hasn't done anything since John Elway retired. This year they had a three game lead with three games left in a weak division and still couldn't get past the 4-8 Chargers.

I always thought Shanahan was an overrated coach. He only won those 2 SB's because of Elway.

Yeah that's true.

I heard that Bowden, or Bowen really likes Shanahan but I think if he doesn't get the Broncons in the playoffs next year, then he should be fired.

At least the GM gets along with the coach unlike when we had Schottenheimer.

I think the running game had something to do with the super bowls as well.

That defense has been horrid for some time now and they really need to do something about that. I dont think firing Shanahan is the way to do it, but they need to do something that works.

I think they overachieved early and 8-8 is what they are.

Well, guess what? He's been fired!!

I disagree with you saying he hasn't done anything since John left. He's had good seasons, winning records, division titles & playoff appearences. Just because somebody doesn't win a ring every year, doesn't make it a failure. That means 31 teams a year are failures. So 10 years since he retired, plenty of teams each year have failed, missed out on the playoffs & haven't won the championship. I think he is one of the best coaches. The move he made vs. SD the Hocchuli bowl, was fantastic and nobody else would have balls to make that move and call that play. I know if that play didn't work out and they lost, he would of been on the chopping block then. But it looks like a great call since it was executed properly and efficiently. Anyways, I guess he should of been fired, even though he has been good for Denver. Nothing lasts forever.

It appears that Bill's Coach, Dick Jauron is safe.

I think only one more head coach will be fired this off-season; Herm Edwards of the Chiefs. If their are somehow 2 more off-season head coach firings, I think that will be it.

When you have a 3 game lead in the Division with 3 games to go in the season and you lose all of them, you have to be fired as a coach.

Jon Gruden should be NEXT. 9-3 and then 9-7

Gruden's overrated too. Won a SB with Tony Dungy's team and has done nothing since.

And was too stupid to see Jeff Garcia was not a starting QB.
