The Mike Shanahan Appreciation Thread - The Orange Mane

Kaylore · 12-31-2008, 11:06 AM

Thank you, Coach Shanahan. You were the Denver Broncos for 14 years. Thanks for the Super Bowl trophies. Thanks for sending out Elway a Champion. Thanks for always keeping this team exciting and thanks for always keeping us competitive. We love and appreciate you.

I wish you good luck in your next endeavors and I will definitely be eating at your restaurant.

Yep. Thanks for everything, coach, and good luck in your next role.

Thanks for all the sacrifice, Mike. Thanks for finding TD. If only that one freak injury had not happened, the whole history might have been different. Or Griese's shoulder. Still, I'll always hold Shanahan in the highest esteem as the man who brought the Lombardi to Denver for the first time. The greatest sports experience of my life. Thanks, Mike. ROF. HOF.

You can give me a lie detector test any day Mike. I'm going to miss the hell out of you.

broncosteven · 12-31-2008, 11:12 AM

Thanks for taking us from mocked losers to back to back SB Champs, i.e. WINNERS!

lazarus4444 · 12-31-2008, 11:12 AM

Thanks Mike for all your hard work and dedication that helped define this franchise.

Mike Shanahan has made my life a living hell on Sundays.

I appreciate that. You can't have the sweet without the sour. Maybe I can have some sweet, now?

illbroncsfn · 12-31-2008, 11:13 AM

Classy to the very end- we will see you in the Ring of Fame my friend!

ScottXray · 12-31-2008, 11:13 AM

Thanks Mike. We will miss your innovative offensive plans.
Good luck to you in your future job.

SonOfLe-loLang · 12-31-2008, 11:17 AM

Thanks for those white teeth.

Kaylore · 12-31-2008, 11:18 AM

He helped provide the single greatest super bowl in history. Super Bowl XXXII was just awesome on so many levels and Mike was big reason for that. I'm definitely sad to see him go.

BroncoMan4ever · 12-31-2008, 11:21 AM

Good luck in your future job.(just don't make it in the AFC West)

You will be missed by Broncos fans.

Couldn't have said it any better myself....

People forget that, They may not have been old enough to remember but after suffering through 4 other train wrecks SB XXXII will always be the best SB ever in my house.

I rewatched SB XXII recently. Not pretty. Can't bring myself to watch the other losses yet.

no-pseudo-fan · 12-31-2008, 11:22 AM

Like I said before, he has left this organization better than he found it. That's all you can ask for. He is a class guy all the way, and I hope he coaches against us the very least amount of times.

epicSocialism4tw · 12-31-2008, 11:25 AM

The best run game innovator of his time. Champion.

Big ups.

LetsGoBroncos · 12-31-2008, 11:27 AM

Thanks coach for all the memories. I can honestly say with you being in control, the Broncos were the only team I have ever cheered for that I felt totally at peace with all the decisions that were made. I had so much faith in you, that I never felt the need to question a move because I knew you would make the right decision.

Thank you for your hard work and your dedication throughout the years. Your love for the Broncos came through loud and clear at your presser. You have earned our respect forever. Best wishes.

ludo21 · 12-31-2008, 11:28 AM

To Shanny!

bloodsunday · 12-31-2008, 11:31 AM

The Denver Broncos organization can never be the same without you.

Good luck in whatever you do next.... as long as its outside the AFC West.

EmpireOrange · 12-31-2008, 11:34 AM

Good Luck Mike. Thanks my friend for the Super Bowls and the many ass kickings of the Raiders. Thanks for the early running game and thanks for ensuring John got his ring. If your do not join the Chargers or Chiefs, I will look at you only in the context of the good years, not the recent ones. Deal?

Kid A · 12-31-2008, 11:35 AM

I'm young. I didn't suffer through the tough years, the Super Bowl embarrassments. Honestly, I don't remember a pre-Shanahan era Broncos because I was too young to actually care.

Shanahan's Broncos brought we into my love of this franchise and this league. The Super Bowls, the constant ripping out of Chief fan's hearts, the 1000k rushers...this is all I have ever known of the Broncos. And it has been fun.

Thank you Mike for the memories and for the class you handled it all with. I know the Broncos are bigger than one man, but it will take me a couple years to actually believe it.
