The guy is a high quality NFL coach and he'll succeed somewhere else.
2005 4 years ago. Reguardless his defenses have sucked for awhile now yes his offenses were good, I do however question how much is left in the tank. He's coached forever and look at how his teams have finished down the stretch the last few years. Its a fair question Dane. I prefer going for a young coach re-treads don't work that much.

Lets see, Denver ownership owes him many millions of dollars, and Shannahan just finished a bazillion dollar home, so friggin big, it has it's very own bowling alley, located in the Denver area.

I see no reason why he wouldn't want to move to Buffalo. ROFL

Well actually, it was just 3 seasons for Shanahan, as he is not coaching this season.

You must also take into consideration the fact that he decided to go young mid-season, benching Plummer in favor of getting Cutler some game experience.

Look, the guy has three Super Bowl rings. He's an offensive mastermind. Do I think it was time for him to leave Denver?

Absolutely.

But he will land on his feet somewhere and he will coach a competitive team.

Offensive coordinator of the 49ers in 1994.

Pete Carroll was the defensive coordinator of that team.

Well, hes got a proven track record of turning around wayward programs. That actually wouldnt be a bad choice.

Not too mention he also played for the Bills so he knows Ralph pretty well.

Brock 11-18-2009 05:13 PM
Hmm, go to Siberia or stay retired?

Mile High Mania 11-18-2009 05:20 PM
Enh, it's a small market team... same division as NE, not a lot of great 'youthful' options and not that appealing for FAs. I just don't see it happening.

LaChapelle 11-18-2009 05:21 PM
Okay you other owners wanting to make a head coaching change. You better get your offers ready.............

Not really, they don't buy the Rat going to Buffalo either.
