Shanny could be one-and-done in DC?

[montrose]

Florio discussed it today on Fox Sports Radio, apparently Dan Snyder (with a record of dumping coaches quickly, he's on his 6th in 10 years of owning the club) has the hots for Jon Gruden who could reunite with Bruce Allen.

http://nflnr.com/2010/12/shanahan-hot-seat-washington/

This would coincide with something I've heard about a disconnect between Snyder/Allen and the Shanahans leading to disfunction in the building. I actually had one sports-talk host in DC tell me (and Broncos fans who still like Pat will love this), "He [Shanahan] went from one of the best owners in sports to arguably the worst. If he didn't want to setup his kid for the job I think he'd rather walk away than deal with this ****."

Should be interesting to follow...

[Killericon]

This would be unreal.

[wolf754life]

shanny is regretting that decision to come back, you can see it in his eyes.......

he hates his qb, he hates his dt, the roster is not that great, he misses living in denver....

one things for sure, he isn't getting anywhere near the war room for player eval this spring, mr allen will handle all that thank you very much...

[BowlenBall]

So, you're saying that Shanahan might be available for the Broncos job?

That would be convenient, as we're already paying him for next year....

[wolf754life]

mike shannahan can rebuild this roster..................

i believe in his personnel decisions.......................

slits wrists..................

[spdirty]

Wow, so Shanahan could be available right when we need a new coach.:~ohyah!:

[yerner]

Wow, that would be bizarre. the only thing is why wouldn't have Snyder just have hired Gruden last year?

[montrose]

Taco would faint if he was brought back.

[24champ]

Hilarious!

First Kubiak, now Shanahan...this place cracks me up.

[montrose]

Wow, that would be bizarre. the only thing is why wouldn't have Snyder just have hired Gruden last year?

From the very little I've gathered, I don't think either guy expected it to be as much of a struggle between one another with Allen (wisely) parterning with Snyder. Shanny's not used to any of this, hell when Pat called him in his office after 2007 to reportedly ask him to reel in spending that ticked him off. From the sounds of it, between McNabb and Haynesworth and other situations, he's have those struggles every single day.

[Dagmar]

That would be ridiculous. Allow him to at least mold a team.

If they fire without giving him a couple of years they deserve what they get.

[montrose]

That would be ridiculous. Allow him to at least mold a team.

If they fire without giving him a couple of years they deserve what they get.

Snyder cans coaches without batting an eyelash, I still think Shanny gets one more year there but wouldn't be stunned if there's a move. Honestly, I was expecting something to possibly happen with Florida.

[SoCalBronco]

He's done a real good job with that roster. They should have won today if that kicker wasn't totally useless. It goes without saying that I would LOVE to have Shanny back.

I feel sorry for him that he has to put up with a bunch of clowns in Washington.

[Atwater His Ass]

Welcome to reality Mike, where we all have ****ty bosses and their underlings that we all hate with every fiber of our being.

[Jason in LA]

Lets really think about this. Coaches can stay at one stop for only so long. After a while the team just loses the message and then it's time to get a new coach.

McD pretty much got rid of Shanny's roster, so if Shanny came back, he'd have a whole new team. It would be like a fresh new start with players who haven't gotten tired of the way the coach goes about business.

It's like perfect!

[wolf754life]

That would be ridiculous. Allow him to at least mold a team.

If they fire without giving him a couple of years they deserve what they get.

Bruce Allen will be doing all the Molding..............thanks anyways Mike

[Clockwork Orange]

Snyder and Shanahan were a match made in hell from the beginning. Anyone who knows anything about either of them could have told you that before the ink dried on Shanahan's contract. They're both arrogant control freaks.

When he does leave, whether it's via quitting or getting fired, you can throw it on the ever growing mountain of bad decisions by Dan Snyder.

[Tombstone RJ]

Shanahan should have just kept the 4-3 defense in DC and he'd have a winning record. Oh well, I guess he just loves having a crappy defense...

[montrose]

So here's the gameplan, Shanny and Kubes get fired and the Broncos begin the road to redemption through tradition!

VP of Football Operations: John Elway
Head Coach: Mike Shanahan
Offensive Coordinator: Gary Kubiak
Defensive Coordinator: Wade Phillips

[Atwater His Ass]

Sign me up. Let's do this.

[Tombstone RJ]

Lets really think about this. Coaches can stay at one stop for only so long. After a while the team just loses the message and then it's time to get a new coach.

It's like perfect!

The only way I'd bring Shanny back is with a real GM and even then I bet Shanny would be throwing his weight around the front office in Dove Valley. No thanks to Shanny... fact is, without Elway I guess he is pretty mediocre as a HC. He definitely sucks as a personel guy.

[yerner]

I don't think Shanny is ever going to be able to work for a gm. Maybe he should go coach college.

[ScottXray]

That would be ridiculous. Allow him to at least mold a team.

If they fire without giving him a couple of years they deserve what they get.

Bwahahaha! Why not fire him?...Bronocos and Bowlen are paying half his salary anyway, so it really didn't cost Snyder that much to bring him in. Of course, the long term deal (is what Snyder would be on the hook for...but Snyder probably has an out if he gets another job anywhere.

As for bringing him back to Denver...Maybe if he isn't given total control and has a GM he could do better. But Tebow is gone if Shanny comes back .

Couple changes.

[Bronco Yoda]

So, you're saying that Shanahan might be available for the Broncos job?

Hilarious! Can you just imagine. Shanny back with Elway over him and McD slithering back to his master in Cheatersville.

without a real GM, I don't think this works. I bet you anything Elway would cede control to Shanny and the same old lousy drafts and crappy defenses would ensue.

Talk about getting the band back together. That looks like 1989.

[CBF1]

Wait wait wait.... Do not forget Urban Meyers, Bill Cower, the guy from the Air Force Academy, Jon Gruden and every other yokle that has been mention at this internet romper room. ^5

[Crushaholic]

I almost felt bad for Shananan, with the way the Redskins lost. His team is in a position to tie it up, and it's a bad snap. That's certainly not his fault...

Ya ok there. Shanahan and Phillips were both fired by Bowlen. How the hell would they come back to coach for this franchise. Kubiak probably has the biggest chance of coming in to coach this team.

Get real people.

Bowlen is just gonna wait to see which hot new coordinator wins the superbowl and than he will go after him. That's what he does.

I'm down ONLY if we get Griese and Tatum Bell back.

Shanahan on hot seat in Washington? (http://nflnr.com/2010/12/shanahan-hot-seat-washington/)

Given Redskins owner Dan Snyder’s propensity to hire and fire head coaches almost as often as he changes his clothes, it should come as no surprise that he is reportedly considering a coaching change at the end of the season, dumping Mike Shanahan after just one year.
There hasn’t been much to substantiate the rumor, but NBC’s Mike Florio (of Pro Football Talk fame) spoke at some length about the situation in Washington on Fox Sports radio today, and indicated that Snyder is reportedly interested in having former Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden come on board to run his team.
For the time being, it’s unlikely that anything will happen with regard to Shanahan, as Snyder would have to pay a minor fortune to him if he fires him without cause, and Gruden would undoubtedly command his own mountain of money in any contract he signs to return to coaching. But the mere fact that Snyder is even considering making a change right now speaks volumes about the issues facing the Redskins right now and definitely opens the door to questions on Shanahan’s fractured relationship with quarterback Donovan McNabb, who has been unhappy to say the least with the way Shanahan has used him in the team’s offense.
At any rate, this off-season is sure to be one to watch, especially if a rumor like this ends up having legs, and Snyder actually decides to send Shanahan packing in favor of Gruden. As always, we’ll keep you posted when anything new comes up.

---------------------------------

So it's an unsubstantiated rumor which is unlikely to become true. I love those. Here, lets try another one.


I heard a rumor that Mike Florio is a methamphetamine addict who loves to eat small asian children for dinner. As of now the rumor is unsubstantiated and is highly unlikely to happen, but hey, you never know. I'll be sure to update you if anything else develops.

[sirhcyennek81]

Good gravy...

Why O Lord do you taunt us with this nonsense?

:Broncos:

[Bronco Yoda]

So he'd be paid by two coaches in 2011 for sipping umbrella drinks with baja? I think Shanahan really is a genius!

[Broncoman13]

Hahaha like John Elway would ever allow Shanny back in Dove Valley!!!

[uplink]

Let me amend the list then.

Wide Receivers Coach: Rod Smith
QB Coach: Jake Plummer
OL Coach: Alex Gibbs
RB Coach: Bobby Turner
TE Coach: Chad Mustard

Maurice Clarett would be assistant RBs coach.

Daryl Gardener would work in the cafeteria in the morning serving IHOP pancakes

Boss Bailey, Buckhaulter, and Nate Jackson would assist the trainer with guys on injured reserve.

[oubronco]

That would be ridiculous. Allow him to at least mold a team.

If they fire without giving him a couple of years they deserve what they get.

Are you talking about Denver or Washington?

[jhns]

I doubt they get rid of him. It would be pretty dumb. For one, he has had one offseason with a four win team. Second, he has already improved the team....

[srphoenix]

hooray would could have shanny full flavor rather than shanny lite


on second thought, lets have none of the above...

[Rohirrim]

Man! It would be great to have Shanny come back and build our defense!


Wait a minute...

[TheReverend]

I would masturbate for a solid month.

[BowlenBall]

I would masturbate for a solid month.

Be honest... you were gonna do that anyway....

[Chris]

The imagination here as regards coaching prospects is outstanding.

[bendog]

He'd be an upgrade over xanders, but it's not happening, and personally I think it was time for a change .... but just not this change. he and McNabb were always a curious fit

[Popps]

Hilarious!

First Kubiak, now Shanahan...this place cracks me up.



DUUUUDE... we're getting the band back together!!

[2KBack]

The one guy that would push me to support Kubiak for HC would be if Shanahan is an option. At least I think Kubiak could work under a power structure where he is only the coach.

[UberBroncoMan]

So here's the gameplan, Shanny and Kubes get fired and the Broncos begin the road to redemption through tradition!

VP of Football Operations: John Elway
Head Coach: Mike Shanahan
Offensive Coordinator: Gary Kubiak
Defensive Coordinator: Wade Phillips

I'd actually be for this. I'm sick of copying other teams. The only stipulation is that we bring back the Goodmans as well for drafts. They ****ing owned Shanahan's last two drafts.

On top of this, it would be ****ing hilarious to see this go down.

Oh, and Dan Reeves is signed on as a consultant and McD as our QB coach to train the Tebow. Lets get all our old HC's back.

[Drek]

I'd actually be for this. I'm sick of copying other teams. The only stipulation is that we bring back the Goodmans as well for drafts. They ****ing owned Shanahan's last two drafts.


Yes, the '07 draft where we spent two extra picks (including a 3rd) to jump up after Moss, a 2nd on Crowder, and then gave up our entire 2nd day plus an '08 third for Thomas was EPIC.

The pick everyone around here was hating on (Harris) turned out to be the only good thing they did that year.

[Requiem]

The Goodman's Great Draft Myth **** really needs to stop.

[DAN_BRONCO_FAN]

2 words
RED MILLER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[~Crash~]

The Goodman's Great Draft Myth **** really needs to stop.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

O sht sorry bro I like totally meant 06 and 08 O MAN. WUT AN EPIX FALIUR. *** man, like good OT's are a dime a dozen though amiright?

[bendog]

All four picks are still in the league .... Drek's got man love for McD.

That sounds like the CU solution, which I actually love for CU.

[Kaylore]

I would masturbate for a solid month.
So basically business as usual?

[jhns]

The Goodman's Great Draft Myth **** really needs to stop.

LOL

Silly McDaniels fans that hate Shanahan and everything associated with him for no reason.

[bendog]

I gave up on shanny in 07, and now that he is in bed with Snyder, I don't with much happiness for him. But his sukiness factor doesn't detract from the disaster McD wreaked on the broncos. it's gotten to the pt that people are trying to minimize the disaster by shanny's suck factor in suck city. If that doesn't show the people trying this bull**** how bad it is in Den, nothing can.

[ghwk]

Lets really think about this. Coaches can stay at one stop for only so long. After a while the team just loses the message and then it's time to get a new coach.

McD pretty much got rid of Shanny's roster, so if Shanny came back, he'd have a whole new team. It would be like a fresh new start with players who haven't gotten tired of the way the coach goes about business.

It's like perfect!

Shanny would immediately go out and trade Champ for Jarvis Moss.

[jhns]

Shanahan is easily the worst coach to win a SB for this team!

[Beantown Bronco]

Could he bring Torain with him?

[Atwater His Ass]

Shanahan is easily the worst coach to win a SB for this team!

I see what you did there

[elsid13]

Florio is full of **** it a joke. Shanahan ain't being fired in DC.

[Hamrob]

Shanahan's biggest mistake in WA...was getting Donovan McNabb. That guy is way overrated and always has been. He should have pulled the trigger and scored Vick...

[gunns]

The only way I'd bring Shanny back is with a real GM and even then I bet Shanny would be throwing his weight around the front office in Dove Valley. No thanks to Shanny... fact is, without Elway I guess he is pretty mediocre as a HC. He definitely sucks as a personel guy.

:thumbsup:

Absolutely no, we don't need to go back to where we were. Yes 3-10 is bad but I didn't feel much different with 8-8.

[mhgaffney]

So, you're saying that Shanahan might be available for the Broncos job?

That would be convenient, as we're already paying him for next year....

Hahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaa...
