Did Jay Cutler have a say in this firing? - The Orange Mane

Bowlen says he wants a "young, offensive" head coach to help "develop Jay Cutler."

Did Jay Cutler have a say in this firing?

elsid13 · 12-30-2008, 03:51 PM

He is on vaction. None of the players knew. It was the BOLT out of the Blue.

SportinOne · 12-30-2008, 03:52 PM

Let's not get crazy... If there was ONE THING Mike Shanahan COULD do it was developing great QB's. If anything, I think Cutler is pretty pissed off right now. It will be interesting to see what he has to say about this, that's for sure.

SportinOne · 12-30-2008, 03:54 PM

Wait a second, did he REALLY say that? Are you kidding me Pat? This team needs improvements but i'm fairly certain that offense was NOT the problem... oh man..

BlaK-Argentina · 12-30-2008, 03:54 PM

This is all so crazy. I don't know how I feel about this. If all our offensive talent goes to waste because of this move I might get seriously depressed. I mean SERIOUSLY depressed.

Hotrod · 12-30-2008, 03:56 PM

I have no doubt Pat went to Jay and asked him to make the call.

dbfan4life · 12-30-2008, 03:57 PM

LMAO at this thread. Hey, maybe Bowlen consults Jay on Mike's replacement, too!

Were are the stars of his team?

The way we've been drafting, I would scream if we lose Jim Goodman....

BULLSHIAT! I'd be willing to bet that certain players had a lot to do with this. Especially when you have players that no longer play for a coach. I know some of you didn't notice this (Taco, I'm talking to you!) but Mike Shanahan lost this team when he benched Plummer for Cutler. I personally thought it was a good move, but Shanny never recovered with several of the players.

Dexter · 12-30-2008, 04:14 PM

No. CBS 4 on TV just played an interview of Cutler. He was surprised, and pretty ticked. He said "I feel its the wrong move" or something of that sort.

Just what we need, a defense that already blows, and now our franchise QB potentially getting stuck with a HC that doesn't know how to handle a QB's Talents.

Our only hope is letting Jeremy Bates remain play caller.

CBF1 · 12-30-2008, 04:15 PM

It is all Griese's fault.

CEH · 12-30-2008, 04:15 PM

Cutler said he just talk to Shanny on Monday and Mike did not see this coming
The Broncos have not even contacted Cutler yet to let him know the direction of the team

- Culter on CBS4

Dude... if you're not counting the rookies from that year, there's like 3 dudes left from that regime.

Ekuban. Bailey. Nalen (if you count that).

...and, uhhhhhhh?

IF Bowlen listened to a 3rd year QB on personal decisions -- that's one way to create chaos on a young team...

Lets hope that Bowlen was indeed drunk -- we dont need help on offence anyway....and how in the hell is a young guy going to be qualified on his inexperince alone -- I know it works if gunning for the presidency, but this is more important...

you know, i think bates is going to be the head coach. he's young, aggressive, had the experience under shanny, is creative, buddy's with jay....it's gonna be bates...count on it

Kaylore · 12-30-2008, 04:19 PM

This is a funny thread.

I bet you the Goodman's might have said something though...

BroncoBuff · 12-30-2008, 04:20 PM

John Elway was consulted before he fired Reeves, that's a matter of record. So I didn't think this was a stretch, especially after Bowlen said he wanted a coach to "develop Cutler."

Well, those players should be tossed out (unless it includes Champ he can do what he wants...)

IF the players have that much control in Denver (which I dont think is the case) then it would be another reason we imploded this year.
