Bowlen presser (Wednesday) at 11:00

[Garcia Bronco]

According to 850Koa on the way home. Almost for got to tell you. I would assume that's mountain time

[baja]

And now I would like to introduce the new head coach of the Broncos my wife Annabelle.

[AtlantaBronco]

I wonder if Bowlen will sound like he did during Zim's HOF induction. What an embarassment. I wish he would sell the team.

[clint7]

Hope he breaks out the fur coat and mirror shades again for this big moment.

[bloodsunday]

I wonder if Bowlen will sound like he did during Zim's HOF induction. What an embarassment. I wish he would sell the team.
Your a moron. Bowlen has been one of the best owner's in pro sports for a long time.

This was a very, very difficult decision for him to make.

[extralife]

So difficult it took him one whole day and a five minute conversation with the man in question to make

[ScottXray]

So difficult it took him one whole day and a five minute conversation with the man in question to make

I'd say it took him 3 full years without playoffs, a continuously declining defense, millions of dollars wasted on non productive Free agents, the worst defensive performance since the early 60's by any Bronco defense, and the outright refusal of his head coach to make defensive coaching changes during a 5 minute conversation, to make his mind up.

The man has the patience of jove!

[snowspot66]

I wonder if Bowlen will sound like he did during Zim's HOF induction. What an embarassment. I wish he would sell the team.

Sell the team? Are you nuts. I'd rather he had a few too many to drink than be the embarrassment that some teams have for owners. Al Davis? Ford? The guys who own the Cardinals? The Dolphins owner who always goes on a fire sale with his players after they achieve anything? I want Pat to live forever. He's got patience and loyalty, almost to a fault.

[theAPAOps5]

I wonder if Bowlen will sound like he did during Zim's HOF induction. What an embarassment. I wish he would sell the team.

Wow you really don't know your ass from a hole in the wall. Its not the end of the world stop treating it as such. The move was made a lot of us don't agree but nothing we can do. If he picks a **** coach like Cowher then don't go to games hurt him in the pocket book. Other than that root for the team and like it.

[Broncoman13]

So difficult it took him one whole day and a five minute conversation with the man in question to make

You could say that he was smart enough to realize that all of the coaching candidates would be gone if he waited...GENIUS!

[Dukes]

So when can we expect a new coach to be named? Can Bowlen do this ASAP or does he have to wait till the end of the postseason?

[Dukes]

?

[broncosteven]

At 12noon Shanny will have a Presser and annouce he has bought out the Broncos by Hostile Stock takeover.

[snowspot66]

So when can we expect a new coach to be named? Can Bowlen do this ASAP or does he have to wait till the end of the postseason?

The Rooney rule will probably delay the process. Of course the interviews might be happening or have happened already.

[Garcia Bronco]

Bowlen and Shanahan will be speaking at this thing

[theAPAOps5]

At 12noon Shanny will have a Presser and annouce he has bought out the Broncos by Hostile Stock takeover.

Ah if only Denver was a publicly traded company. Then I could call myself part owner!

[Beantown Bronco]

The man has the patience of jove!

:spit: Ha! ROFL!

[rastaman]

Bowlen and Shanahan will be speaking at this thing

Well thats good news. Both owner and coach will handle this with pride and professionalism.

So when does Shanahan become the Chiefs head coach!!!:sunshine:

[Steve Sewell]

Hope he breaks out the fur coat and mirror shades again for this big moment.

That would be hot.

And for the tard wishing Bowlen would sell the team...all I can say is wow.

[Garcia Bronco]

And to be a little clearer. Bowlen will speak and then Shanahan. That's 11 mountain.


1 pm eastern for the savages back east. :P

[~Crash~]

I wonder if Bowlen will sound like he did during Zim's HOF induction. What an embarassment. I wish he would sell the team.

lets hope he does .

[bpc]

"i, i, i, i,... i'm about to cry..."

Could he have sounded more robotic?

[Garcia Bronco]

12 minutes. 12 minutes dougie fresh

[Blart]

11 minutes!

[Kid A]

[TheManeMan]

Thanks Kid A! :thumbs:

[Taco John]

Some old hippie just did a sound check!

[TheReverend]

Adam Schefter doesn't look like he slept a wink last night.

Saying the firing was all about Bowlen taking back his franchise and nothing to do with Slowik or another staff member.

Little ego power struggle. Eat a dick Bowlen.

[baja]

Some old hippie just did a sound check!

It wasn't me

[baja]

Adam Schefter doesn't look like he slept a wink last night.

Saying the firing was all about Bowlen taking back his franchise and nothing to do with Slowik or another staff member.

Little ego power struggle. bend me over a rock Bowlen.

where you get that

[Garcia Bronco]

Some old hippie just did a sound check!

That was funny

[bronco militia]

bend me over a rock

please explain...I've seen this comment from other posters in my rep

;D

[TheReverend]

where you get that

Schefter on NFLN. Just talking about Elway's return to the organization too.

[Garcia Bronco]

please explain...I've seen this comment from other posters in my rep

;D

You ever seen a grown man naked?

[TheReverend]

please explain...I've seen this comment from other posters in my rep

;D

Whoa... nice filter TJ. Turned my anger into a something overtly homosexual.

[Meck77]

Whoa... nice filter TJ. Turned my anger into a something overtly homosexual.

quick post some boob mojo...;D

I can't tell you how pleased I am to see Bowlen finally take charge of his business.

[Los Broncos]

Anyone seen his wife before?

[TheReverend]

How much do you want to bet that this is ALL about that Woody Paige article where he wrote "It's more likely Shanahan would fire Pat, than Pat COULD fire Shanahan" ?

[bronco militia]

Whoa... nice filter TJ. Turned my anger into a something overtly homosexual.

I doubt it :curtsey:

[TheReverend]

**** head approaches the podium...

[Rock Chalk]

You can tell this wasnt an easy decisions for Pat

[broncosteven]

I hope that I can replace him...

[HEAV]

"It was time for the organization too move on and it was time for Mike to move on"

[broncosteven]

Bowlen admits Taco John was right, he is a gutless drunk.

[Broncoman13]

**** head approaches the podium...

where are you watching it?

[HEAV]

"We didn't get it done, not the team we should have been."

[crowebomber]

Pat: " I've been thinking about it for a while."

[TDmvp]

http://www.9news.com/video/player_live_16x9.aspx
espn news , nfl network

[HEAV]

where are you watching it?

He's just angry. Put him on ignore and you will be happy.

[spdirty]

Bowlen keeps saying it was just time. Said he doesnt believe in a coach for life.

[TheReverend]

"Was it more to do with his work as HC or his short-comings as GM?"

"It had nothing to do with either... it was just time."

WTF!?!?

[Rock Chalk]

Pat: "I've been thinking about it for a while"
"We were not the team we should have been"
"At this point in time, after 14 years as a HC, it was time for us to go in a different direction"
"Good decision for both of us"
"It was just time to do this"
"Ive never been a believer that there is a coach for life" (haha thats not what he has previously said)

[crowebomber]

"It was just the time to do this."
"that's just part of our business."

[HEAV]

"Never been a believer in coach for life."

[broncosteven]

Bowlen requests that whom ever parked a VW Beetle with "I want Shanny Back" in his parking space to move it before end of business or he will cut Cutler.

[TheReverend]

NFLN Oskie bro.

[ANIMAL24]

and uh

[Taco John]

The guy looks plenty hung over.

[elsid13]

Thought Shanahan did a good job picking the coaches.

[HEAV]

"Mike and I have always had a close relationship, it's going to be strained after this, but down the road, hopefully that will change."

[HEAV]

The guy looks plenty hung over.

Get over it.

[elsid13]

Mike was doing a good job, but he spent a lot of time here

[Garcia Bronco]

"Mike was doing a good job, but he spent a lotta time here and I want to move on."

[broncosteven]

Mike was doing a good job he spent alot of time here. I want to move on.

WTF?

[elsid13]

I run the show

[Garcia Bronco]

"I run the show"

[Taco John]

"Mike was doing a good job, but you know *shrug* he - he's spent a lot of time here."

[HEAV]

"I make the decisions" "I run the show"

[TheManeMan]

Bowlen "runs the show" just in case nobody noticed...:pity:

[TDmvp]

to the people quoting every word of it .... if we can see the forum we can watch the presser ... thx tho...

[elsid13]

not a lot of negative vibes in the room

[broncosteven]

Elsid was doing a good job but he spent alot of time here and I want to move on.

[Don Flamenco]

LOL at "I haven't thought of it." when asked about whether he is going to hire GM first before hiring a HC.

WHAT THE ****!

[Broncoman13]

NFLN Oskie bro.

Thanks ya salty bastard! ;D

[crowebomber]

to the people quoting every word of it .... if we can see the forum we can watch the presser ... thx tho...

Actually some of us are at work and can't do streaming because of bandwith. thx tho...

[Taco John]

to the people quoting every word of it .... if we can see the forum we can watch the presser ... thx tho...

If you have high speed, yes. If you have a modem, not so much.

[HEAV]

Heav- Shanny boy lost the power struggle. He wasn't, isnt and never will be the owner.

Shanny got too big for his britches.

[elsid13]

Elsid was doing a good job but he spent alot of time here and I want to move on.

But I run the show????

[broncosteven]

Bowlen - One Scotch at a time please.







j/k

[TDmvp]

Actually some of us are at work and can't do streaming because of bandwith. thx tho...

If you have high speed, yes. If you have a modem, not so much.

good point ... never thought of that ... my bad , carry on ...

[Dudeskey]

W... T... F... ?™

[Taco John]

Calamity.

[broncosteven]

Bowlen - I've said that.

[HEAV]

If you have high speed, yes. If you have a modem, not so much.

Plus some companies block live video feed.

[elsid13]

Hopes to have new coach soon.

[Don Flamenco]

He seems senile.

[Dagmar]

He seems senile.

No.

[broncosteven]

"I am not sure I can follow the Question, I am liquored up."





j/k

[HEAV]

Pat isn't going to say it but this was about getting control of his team back.

[elsid13]

better then Zim HOF speech.

Didn't think mike had to much on his plate. Next coach won't have the power, because only mike could handle it

Tears

[spdirty]

he's crying.

[broncosteven]

In summary - Mike handled the job but Bowlen was bored and wanted a change because they had been together 21 years.

WTF?

[Broncoman13]

Personnel upstairs are doing a good job = Goodmans are staying!!!

"Denver is an attractive place to coach" = He's going to get a good candidate in here!

Next coach will likely not have as much responsibility as Mike, even though he thought Mike did well.

[go_broncos]

he is crying..

[Steve Sewell]

He's choked up. Yeah this was an easy, flippant firing...

[elsid13]

Had to make some decision in the organization that he doesn't like, and sometimes you need to make those decision

Process for the new coach hasn't started

John Elway has a lot of things to do.

[Dagmar]

he's crying.

Firing a buddy of 14 years will do that to anyone with a soul.

[lostknight]

He is walking the standard managers line. You can get in legal trouble badmouthing a former employee in public, so you need to be careful to balance it backwards and forwards.

That being said, it sounds like things have just collapsed, and Bowlen fired in retaliation.

[Broncoman13]

He is getting choked up talking about parting ways with someone he truly cares about.

[broncosteven]

I have not Thought about who is going to be our next HC!

And he is crying.

This team is ****ed.

[HEAV]

It's clear he wanted Mike to stay. But Mike wouldn't give up control. Mike's ego and pride is the reason he's not the Broncos coach.

[Old Dude]

So, basically, Bowlen runs the show. Anything else?

[Taco John]

This sucks. I can't believe what I'm watching.

[Broncoman13]

How close are we to a superbowl team? We're not in the playoffs so we're a long way away, but that can change in a hurry!

[elsid13]

based upon his instincts
might regret the decision
comfortable with the decision now

[broncosteven]

I can't explain that to you guys.

I have to operate on my instincts. They are just my instincts.

I may regret in future.

[Broncoman13]

I have not Thought about who is going to be our next HC!

And he is crying.

This team is ****ed.

If you believe that you're a friggin fool.

[elsid13]

wants someone to come in and win a Superbowl

[TDmvp]

This sucks. I can't believe what I'm watching.

yea it is damn lame ...

[lostknight]

I want someone to come in here and win a superbowl.

Claissic.

[spdirty]

Firing a buddy of 14 years will do that to anyone with a soul.

its tough.

[Dagmar]

"What do I want? I want someone to come in here and win a Superbowl."

[HEAV]

"I want someone to come in here and win a Super Bowl!"

[Rock Chalk]

This sucks. I can't believe what I'm watching.

So quit watching.

[Don Flamenco]

aww **** all the coaches are gonna be fired

[Steve Sewell]

"What do I want to do? I want someone to come in here and win a Super Bowl"

**** yeah.

[spdirty]

**** says he doesnt anticipate keeping anyone on the coaching staff.

[ludo21]

Wont keep members of coaching staff.. WTF

Turner, Dennison.... damnit

[McDman]

I'm glad he talked to Jay.

[Broncoman13]

"I want someone to come in here and win a Superbowl. That's my number one goal!"

[lostknight]

I don't anticipate that we will be keeping _any_ of the members of the coaching staff.

[broncosteven]

SUPERBOWL! WOOO

Good Coaching, good Players. I HOPE I can pick the right coach.

I want to win the SUPERBOWL!

WOOOOOOot

But I have no plan at all

[elsid13]

He has talked to Jay Cutler this morning. No negative feedback from Jay. I didn't sense that he has negatitive. Jay is the MAN, and will be talking to him

[Rock Chalk]

Jim Goodman has his job and he will have his job

[HEAV]

yea it is damn lame ...

Maybe TJ should make a area on the Mane (aka ThunderDome) for you Shanny fans to have a pitty party.

[TheManeMan]

"One at a time!" or imma fire you!!

[TDmvp]

SUPERBOWL! WOOO

Good Coaching, good Players. I HOPE I can pick the right coach.

I want to win the SUPERBOWL!

WOOOOOOot

But I have no plan at all


Obama is that you ?

[Broncoman13]

So quit watching.

BINGO!

[elsid13]

Goodman will keep his job!

[lostknight]

The goodmans are staying. Period.

[Broncoman13]

Jim Goodman Has His Job And He Will Have His Job!

[broncosteven]

I talked to Jay, Jay understands I am the boss and can cut his backward hat wearing ass any ****ing time I want.

[Rock Chalk]

Winning is everything. Doesnt matter what its worth.

aka Money isnt an issue

[spdirty]

there was a shot at Mike Brown.

[broncosteven]

19 - 0 in 2009! Winning is Everything.

[Natedogg]

Winning is everything. Doesnt matter what its worth.

QFT. Bowlen comes off good imo.

[Kaylore]

I love Pat Bowlen.

[Steve Sewell]

Winning is everything. Doesnt matter what its worth.

This is what its all about and this is why Bowlen wins.

[Broncoman13]

He is being very careful regarding who he is considering... He's not as dumb as some of you would like to think.

[SureShot]

This is a disaster. You don't fire Shanny unless you have something lined up like Pioli.

[HEAV]

19 - 0 in 2009! Winning is Everything.

Grow up dude.

[elsid13]

Mike and I will have relationship for life.

[Broncoman13]

Winning is everything. Doesnt matter what its worth.

aka Money isnt an issue

HELL YEAH!

[Steve Sewell]

This is what its all about and this is why Bowlen wins.

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/zapparulez/Bronco%20Pics%20Elway%20Era/patbowlenfurcoat.jpg

[elsid13]

I love Pat Bowlen.

Carefully he might have the AIDs soon......

[elsid13]

Wouldn't be happy if mike went to KC

[Broncoman13]

This is a disaster. You don't fire Shanny unless you have something lined up like Pioli.

Dude, you do understand that he can't come out and say he has something lined up, right? Rooney rule/law. He has to give a shot to everyone and at least one minority coach. Why are some of you people so FUuCKING ignorant?

[Cosmo]

I dont get why everyone is upset so much. Pat is saying all the right things.

We all know things were getting stale here and he finally pulled the trigger.

[Dagmar]

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/zapparulez/Bronco%20Pics%20Elway%20Era/patbowlenfurcoat.jpg

Bowlen is a pimp. :notworthy

[Steve Sewell]

Uh, now we know for sure that Shanahan is going to KC just to piss Bowlen off LOL

[elsid13]

Not thought about hiring on the GM. focused on HC. Making fun of Woody.

[Steve Sewell]

Haven't thought of a GM, my focus will be on a coach.

[Dagmar]

I dont get why everyone is upset so much. Pat is saying all the right things.

We all know things were getting stale here and he finally pulled the trigger.

People keep getting their panties in a twist over him saying "I haven't thought about that yet".

Guys, he isn't going to say, "I am going for ..."

Chill.

[Dudeskey]

What? He wants him to have a tan in every area?

[lostknight]

Sounds like Jim Goodman will be the GM.

[HEAV]

Shanny in KC...good luck with that Mike.

[TheManeMan]

Tough questions from Woody? He's probably got the biggest smile in the f'n room...

[Dagmar]

Making fun of Woody.

Shooting fish in a barrel?

[HEAV]

Sounds like Jim Goodman will be the GM.

Goodman is the GM. point and end of story.

[broncosteven]

I had to yak, Did Bowlen say if he knows who will be the GM and what Canidates he will have for HC?

[elsid13]

Bye - Bye Shanahan in 5 minute

[Dagmar]

Sounds like Jim Goodman will be the GM.

I didn't get that.

[ludo21]

To me it sounds like:

I was bored, and its been a long time, so he had to go.

Bowlen better have a plan and sound smarter than he is talking.

[HEAV]

Now all you Shanny-boys get your towels out and start crying.

[Dagmar]

Bye - Bye Shanahan in 5 minute

Nope, now!

[Broncoman13]

Are you contemplating handling the duties of General manager yourself?

HELL NO!

[socalorado]

People keep getting their panties in a twist over him saying "I haven't thought about that yet".

Guys, he isn't going to say, "I am going for ..."

Chill.

Exactly. Everyone relax.
Basically the presser came dowwn to "mike is gone" "It was tough"
"Now we move on"

I cant wait!:sunshine:

[Broncoman13]

Now all you Shanny-boys get your towels out and start crying.

I'll consider myself a Shanny boy for now.

[broncosteven]

Shanny says 2008 team compared with 1985 bears.

Compares Tatum Bell to Barry Sanders.

Stokely is best #3 back ever.

[elsid13]

Shanahan thanking the world.

[HEAV]

I'll consider myself a Shanny boy for now.

We can't look back. Have to look foward.

[Taco John]

As far as I'm concerned, Shanahan had us on the path to another Superbowl run. Bowlen just didn't have the guts to stick with the rebuild.

[Cosmo]

Hey, i'm glad the Shanny era is over but he's been a part of all of our lives for a long time. I will be emotional watching him talk as he leaves. He did good for us guys, give him the respect he deserves.

[HEAV]

As far as I'm concerned, Shanahan had us on the path to another Superbowl run. Bowlen just didn't have the guts to stick with the rebuild.


You need mental help.

[Rock Chalk]

As far as I'm concerned, Shanahan had us on the path to another Superbowl run. Bowlen just didn't have the guts to stick with the rebuild.

Im so glad you just run the message board I post on and have absolutely nothing to do with anything Denver Broncos.

[broncosteven]

We can't look back. Have to look foward.

Wrong. We cannot look back, but you don't live in future you live in the present.

[elsid13]

Offense will best as any of his SB teams.

[Taco John]

You need mental help.

Show me a better young offensive core in the league. We have every resource now ready to go to defense. Shanahan had this team on course.

Bowlen is gutless.

[broncosteven]

Shanny thanked me for my support!

WOOOO HOO

[Rock Chalk]

Now Shanny is crying. See it wasnt ****ing easy for either of them.

[Cosmo]

Shanny is all class.

[HEAV]

Wrong. We cannot look back, but you don't live in future you live in the present.


So say's the guy screaming that we haven't a future.

[Dagmar]

Jesus, this is painful.

[crowebomber]

As far as I'm concerned, Shanahan had us on the path to another Superbowl run. Bowlen just didn't have the guts to stick with the rebuild.

The fourth time would have been the charm for rebuilding that defense.:thumbs:

[elsid13]

Thanking Pat

It tough, best friend, best owner in sports,

Have to make a tough decision, thanking him

Real emotion right

[ANIMAL24]

this is kinda making me sad

[broncosteven]

Breakdown, go ahead give it to me, Break down honey take me through the night....

[Broncoman13]

This is hard to watch. Replacing Shanny will be tough.

[SonOfLe-loLang]

Show me a better young offensive core in the league. We have every resource now ready to go to defense. Shanahan had this team on course.

Bowlen is gutless.

I dont get why people think the offense will derail because shanahan is gone? Is he taking the players with him? No. In fact, if Bates stays on, how much will really even change. Friggin relax. We needed new blood. I think Shanny can have success elsewhere, but it ran its course here.

[bronco_diesel]

Shanny is all class!

[Ambiguous]

Now Shanny is crying. See it wasnt ****ing easy for either of them.

Yeah this is even hard for me.

[Rock Chalk]

Pat is the best owner in sports. Period. He's gonna keep the offensive staff in tact as much as he can.

[chawknz]

Ugh.. Don't bring me to tears either, Shanny. :(

[spdirty]

Shanny is of course all class.

[Pseudofool]

WTF I wish Shanny and Bowlen would stop making me tear up. Fighting back tears is evidently contagious.

[broncosteven]

So say's the guy screaming that we haven't a future.

I am trying to have fun through out all of this, I am mocking shanny as much as Bowlen.

Get over the fact that you got what you wanted.

[WyoLaw]

This sucks!! I can't believe this is happening. I'm glad to see both guys such class men.

[elsid13]

Offense staff will stay in tact as much as possible. Because it going in the right direction. Changes on defense

We didn't win, I didn't get the job done. We have not won the championship

[broncosteven]

I didn't get the job done.

Tough to say but true.

[HEAV]

Show me a better young offensive core in the league. We have every resource now ready to go to defense. Shanahan had this team on course.

Bowlen is gutless.


Jay has alot to learn about winning game. Stats are for fantasy teams.

Need to find a running game, need to look at center and left guard of the future.

Defense and special teams are a mess.

Shanny put all the eggs in one bag. He should of had balance on both sides.

[Meck77]

Bowlen said it best "Winning is everything"

Shanny "We weren't winning and I can understand the reasoning".

That's about it folks. Nothing to cry about. They are both men and obviously good friends.

[Dagmar]

I had a wee tear in my eye there.

Yes I'm a big girl.

[broncosteven]

The waiting is the hardest part

Wow 2 Tom Petty quotes in one thread!

[Dagmar]

Heav and TJ, can we watch without you guys pulling each other's hair?

[elsid13]

Not to pressure the next coach, but we have very good young team. Offense is going to be great, and lost captains on the defense which will be back.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

These are some badass pressers.

[HEAV]

Two men struggled over control.

[Rock Chalk]

They want to be champions and I think "we" will. And I'll always be part of that and I'll always root for them.

[spdirty]

still referring to the Broncos as "We."

[Taco John]

Heav and TJ, can we watch without you guys pulling each other's hair?

Can you?

[montrose]

Shanahan on Bowlen: "We'll still be the best of friends."

Shanahan on the Broncos: "I'll be rooting for them."

[WyoLaw]

Shanahan is still referring to the Broncos as "we." Damn I'm going to miss him. I can't say this enough, this sucks.

[Broncoman13]

Shanahan is AWESOME. I hope that he eventually becomes, along with Elway, owners of the Denver Broncos!

[theAPAOps5]

It was really hard to hear Shanahan speak of Bowlen and break down. He clearly understands and still respects Bowlen.

[broncosteven]

I will always be a part of that and rooting for them.

[elsid13]

We are close.

[Smiling Assassin27]

if anything, Bowlen has nads the size of Texas for this move. definitely not a gutless move. wrongheaded? impulsive? assinine? open for debate, but it sure ain't gutless.

[TDmvp]

I feel like it is never going to feel the same ... Like when someone does something bad to you and you still care for them and love them but the shine aint the same .... I hope this is just shock ....

[ward63]

I agree with everybody about Shanny. Very classy!!! And I will miss the guy!

[elsid13]

harder on Pat then Shanahan because he been there. 5 minutes because we would have broke down.

[broncosteven]

Shanny thinks it was a good move.

He felt for Pat.

[Rock Chalk]

Tough times dont last, tough people do.

Instant classic quote.

[Pseudofool]

We have every resource now ready to go to defense. Something has either drastically changed in four days or we are referring to different defenses. This is an absurd, realityless statement.

[elsid13]

Best chance to Win - Welcome to the Dallas Shanahan

[theAPAOps5]

"The meeting lasted 5 minutes, if it went longer we would have broke down"

[HEAV]

Both the franchise and Mike needed this break.

[broncosteven]

I want Competent people - who are related to someone

[Meck77]

I feel good knowing this is nothing personal. All business as it should be.

It's also comforting to hear Shanny admit he wasn't getting the job done on both sides of the ball. Regret is a bitch and I don't think either of these guys will have any. As Pat said a dozen or more times "It was time". Our record reflected that.

[elsid13]

Listen to his people. tried to find folks that were better then him at things.

[yerner]

I hope he goes to Dallas and wins it all.

best he felt about a team in 5 to 6 years. Young going in the right direction.

[TonyR]

if anything, Bowlen has nads the size of Texas for this move. definitely not a gutless move. wrongheaded? impulsive? assinine? open for debate, but it sure ain't gutless.

Yes, and I don't even think the other three are open for debate. Had to be done. Should have been done. Was done.

Shanny said it himself, "we haven't gotten it done".

Mike can relate with Pat because he has done the same thing. He has said that a few times and it makes sense.

[Dagmar]

He's being very magnanimous, I'm very impressed.

Please go to the NFC Mike...

[Steve Sewell]

I hope he goes to Dallas and wins it all.

You should never hope for any other team to win a SB than the Broncos, or your not a Broncos fan.

"Either you get it done or you don't get it done... we didn't get it done"

[TDmvp]

I hope he goes to Dallas and wins it all.

that would prove God hates me considering they are in my top 5 least fav team .... and 1 of the 2 teams not in the AFC west i really dislike ...

Great question:
Did something change

I wonder if Mike and Bowlen stopped communicating or listening to each other.

[elsid13]

Won't throw his coaches under the bus. Comes back to him.

[theAPAOps5]

The Best was when Bowlen said he would be upset if Mike went to KC. That was funny.

[theAPAOps5]

Promoting his new restaurant!

[HEAV]

Mike will be fine, the Broncos will be fine.

[Dagmar]

Promoting his new restaurant!

What's it called?

[Steve Sewell]

Everything that Shanahan is saying right now about his next job points to what Jerry Jones and his agent are talking about right now.

[elsid13]

Talked to Cutler this morning. Cutler tried to call last night.

[theAPAOps5]

What's it called?

Do you even have to ask?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Wait, Shanny thinks we have good fans? Not possible, all I hear about here from people who don't go to the games is that those of who do suck.

[Broncoman13]

He's going to Dallas (gut feeling!).

[broncosteven]

Shanny Called Cutler - Talked about the hottest You Tube link.

[HEAV]

The looks more relaxed now than he has in a long, long time.
