Shanahan hasn't won anything since Elway left. I repeat: Shanahan hasn't won anything since Elway left. Not a playoff game, not a division title, nothing. How many more mediocre seasons do we have to suffer through before you Shanny homers finally say enough is enough.

I'm still waiting to hear who that replacement should be.
Well they might have had a pretty good arguement with the 6 year thingy, but I dont know about a new coach taking us to the promise land in one year. Tooooooooooooooooooo much change to adjust to in such a short amount of time.

My point is that you just don't know what these guys are capable of until you give them a chance.
Either they win immediatly or hiring them was a waste of time. I'm just playing by your rules. That seems to be the criteria for Shanahan in your eyes, so it's the same for whoever steps in next.

Someone sure thought that giving Steve Spurrier a shot was a good idea. I bet you were one of them.

Shanahan has had 6 years to win at least one friggin playoff game. He hasn't done it.

Shanahan has had 6 years to win the division. He hasn't done it.

Shanahan has had 6 years to prove that he can be one of the league's top coaches without a hall of fame quarterback. He hasn't done it.

Where do you draw the line?

There is no thought, there is no nothing. This is bull****. As CO has pointed out, the standards you have proposed in essence mean whoever you endorse to be our coach, we better go 12-4 and DEEP in the playoffs from the WORD GO, there is no adjustment period. It is futile to argue with you.

Thank you. Someone got the point I was making.

You set the standard, don't try and change it to suit your liking. A new coach comes in here, I expect you to hold his feet to the flames just as you've done with Shanahan.

If you don't, it makes you nothing but a hypocrite.

I dont know about a new DC,but I wouldnt mind a new OC and ST coach. Plus, can someone please tell Shanny to stop calling running plays up the damn middle so much .

You Shanny apologists have been making the same excuses for him for almost 6 years now and it's getting old. Every year for the last 6 years, we have had a different scapegoat and he always gets run out of town while Shanahan refuses to take any of the blame. Anybody who has half a brain knows that it starts at the top. So my question to you is this. When are you going to hold this man accountable?

Just as SoCal said, you respond with the same line over and over. Try coming up with an original thought rather than just riding trolluride's coattails.

I'm still waiting for that list of people who will come in here next year and take this team to the Super Bowl.

God, your IGNORANT BEYOND ****ING BELIEF. Again, its ignore the substantive arguments and just say "Fire shanny" or "your a shanny homer" or "take off the orange and blue glasses". I am providing you with SUBSTANTIVE ****ING ARGUMENTS as to why the chasm between 10-2 and 7-5 is not the fault of the coaches this particular season and i have pointed to the well accepted key plays that really were outcome determinative in the games and why it had nothing to do with coaching and then you respond without addressing them at all.

If a new coach comes in here, then I will give him 4 years to win at least one playoff game. Something that Shanahan has failed to do ever since Elway retired. My patience with him ran out after last season.

you just exposed yourself as a fraud. By definition if we envision this long of a time span as reasonable before winning a playoff game, than basically you are saying we are going to more or less strip it down and start over which we all agree is wrong. Your willing by your admission to wait 4 more years just so long as it is a different body on the sideline, but if i were to tell you not only is shanny not going to win a playoff game this year, but for 4 more years he wont either, you would justifiably go nuts. What a Fraud.

Has it ever occured to you that it shouldn't have come down to those plays? If one or two plays decides a game for you, then the gameplan in general was not effective.

I dont think coaching is the problem.

What we have is a good old talent and production problem.

Listen up, dumb****. I'm said that i'm willing to give another coach 4 years because I know it takes time. It's taken Shanahasbeen 6 ****ing years to win a playoff game or the division for that matter since Elway retired. That is too long. Try to pay attention next time, moron.

I think we've got a problem with our execution in crucial situations. The zone defense on 4th & goal against the Fade. Q's fumble in the final minute against Jacksonville. Jake's ill-advised audible that got picked yesterday. The fumble bouncing off of Reggie Hayward yesterday and back to Brees. Hmmmm, funny, I don't see any of those things having anything to do with Shanahan.

But obviously, we're expected to have no close games all year according to MountingMen. If we do, it's all Shanahan's fault because the game plan wasn't good enough.

Ridiculous.

What Shanahan's decision to throw a dangerous fade pass instead of keeping it on the ground when we had the ball inside the SD 10 yard line? Especially when our running game was beginning to click.
