I agree, TJ.

Basically because Pat got impatient.

I've heard a few insider type things, but most of it is speculation.

At the end of the day, Shanahan wasted a lot of time trying to find a franchise quarterback to run his offense, and in that time, the defense has suffered. Shanahan probably could have kept his job if the Broncos went to the playoffs this season - but with 7 runningbacks on IR, the best he could do was .500.

Them's the breaks.

Our meltdown against SD cost Carl and Shanahan's jobs, and soon to be Herm's. Tampa's loss to Oakland cost Gruden his, and allowed Philly to do what they've done. The doormats of the AFC West had a big impact on this NFL season.

It's definitely going to be odd not seeing him on the sideline, but I am fine with the change. Shanahan built a nice offense, but the defense... man, that has been a big pile of stink for years and ultimately that is why I'm fine with the change.

It's interesting that they are keeping Dennison and Tuner - good for them, but I really hope they focus a bulk of that cap space and draft on the defense this offseason.

I'm tired of the FA misses on guys like Robertson, let's try something new.

Offensively, let's focus on that primary RB once again and keep a number of the guys we have now as insurance.

It's going to be interesting and I think it will be good. A lot of key pieces to the puzzle are there, now fix the defense.

And the Chiefs ruined the Patriots title hopes.

Please, man. You act like Shanahan wasn't even trying to fix the defense. The truth you don't seem to want to accept is that he ****ing failed horribly at it. The minute he fired Coyer it all went downhill.

Fortunately, with Pioli to hold his hand in Kansas City, we won't have that problem. :evil:

He had the defense under Vermeil and sucked. IMO, he's incompetent. Scheme aside, it's frustrating watching the defense repeat the same deficiencies every season.

I can't believe there are people STILL defending Goonther.

The Chiefs' defense started faltering during Goonther's final season as the Chiefs head coach... that had nothing to do with a "hybrid Cover 2" you are describing in your post.

Goonther's defenses were mediocre and kept the Chiefs out of the playoffs during Vermeil's final season in KC... and that had nothing to do with a "hybrid Cover 2".

That's ridiculous. The Broncos rescources have been spent primarily on defense for the last sevaral years. Hell, was it 2 years ago he spent 8 picks on three players on the defense?

That was just the year before last. You call that good dratfting? You're easy to please.

All of the negatives about him will be gone as long as he really isn't looking for sole control of the roster and Pioli can get a solid D coord in place to take care of that side of the ball. Chan is a good fit with him already and I like him to stay with or without the rat.

He also has the experience to be something like what they had in NE with Pioli as far as a football mind to be a partner with, but in this case it would be Scott with the final say instead of BB.

It would be hard to forget the flash of disgust when I see his face, but I would like him (eventually) if he were ours.

keep him around for 5 years or so and we should be completely rebuilt and can start looking for his replacement. Hopefully shannarat cries when we fire him.

Alright, back to the fooball portion of the thread. I'd be Ok, with Shannahan, but he's far from my first choice. I just see him wanting more control several years down the road.

Hands down Shanny is the best X's and O's guy 'offensively' and not to mention the best QB teacher(ala-could improve Thigpen tremendously) in the NFL. Pioli and Shanny have great admiration for one another and Shanny has always wanted to work with Gunther because he greatly respects him. Shanny really likes the Chiefs young core of talent coming up (Flowers,Carr,Bowe,Dorsey). Shanny I would think at this point would think I can just be a football coach and leave all the other stuff(GM,personnel) to somebody else and I have 45mil under the cap, Pioli,Gunther, good core of young talent and Arrowhead stadium.

I don't want him if he wants personnel control though.

Give him a good gm to work with and outstanding ppl in the pro player personnel dept and I'll bet he'll easily be one of the best coaches in the league.

Given the fact we have Pioli, Im welcomed to having Shanahan as HC.

Why do so many hate a guy that did so many great things for this Team? He turned this team around from being a turd to a perenial playoff team. Dont want him back if you like, but to laugh at him like he's a joke is ridiculous.

Maybe because we know how the story ends with Marty... regular season success followed by a flameout in the playoffs.
