I'm kind of viewing him as like Bradford. If the other options are gone, he'll be fine I guess.

That's like German voters talking about whether or not to elect Hitler: "Other than him wanting to exterminate every Jew and take over other countries and stuff, why not?"

nazi analogies are used a tad too liberally in today's world me thinks

Cowher is out and nobody wants Marty who doesn't want the job anyway. Who better than Shanny is outb there?

I said this on another thread... but, I think he's worn out. Shanahan hasn't had time off really since the 80s.

He went from being on Reeve's staff, to OAK and then the 49ers where he helped them win a title... then, since 1995 he has been the man in Denver. That's a long damn time and I think he has burnout.

I haven't seen that fire or creativity in a few years. The last couple of drafts were great and that inspired him a bit, but he needs to step away and recharge. Take a year off and he'll still be on the top of any team's list looking for a HC.

I actually agree.

But this is the Broncos we're talking about here. It's apt.

Elway has been retired for 10 years. Shanahan has 4 below .500 seasons in his 14 years with Denver. 3 of those were 8-8 seasons. The other was 7-9. I wouldn't give him a GM's job, but I'd definitely be interested in talking with him.

I'm not saying you're an idiot if you ultimately don't want him, but I think it's dumb to not want to sit down and talk to a guy who went 146-98 in Denver over 14 years. 10 of them without Elway.

If we're talking NFL resumes... No one.
But the reality of the matter is that this guy has won 24 games his last three NFL seasons.

He just pissed away a three game lead to a team everyone thought was dead in the water. With one last opportunity to send his team to the post-season the Broncos got trounced by a bad San Diego team.

I think that's a bit much, don't you? So, other than the ex HC thing, why not?

He had an absolutely terrible D coordinator. That is his one weakness and probably cost him his job. He didn't want to fire Slowik.

Since Elway retired he's managed to lead the Broncos to just 1 division title.
The last three years he's coached his team to 9 wins, 7 wins, and 8 wins (respectively).

He's overrated.

8-8 isn't 'below' .500
