Hire Shanny as HC. Now Clark! Right Now!
 

Cowher doesn't want to coach so get Shanny!


No other titles, just HC. He would be fantastic to have and no I don't care if half the city hates him.

NO!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Uh no...

:spock:

let's don't and pretend we never had this conversation

Anyone who has zero interest in Mike Shanahan as their head coach doesn't know shit about football.

Other than him being an ex-Bronco HC, why not?

Shanahan > Herm + Norv combined

DEAL!

Next....

You're kidding, right?
You're clamoring for the coach who's averaged 8 wins a year since his last division title?

His best years were shared with a guy named John Elway.

ok... someone's supposed to say something along the lines of "anybody but herm" blah blah blah

Um, that's not saying a hell of a lot.

DAMN RIGHT!

does the include Bowlen?

the rat hasn't accomplished shit since elway left

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

I don't want rat face anywhere near the Chiefs

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.

NO

8-8 isn't 'below' .500

yup....which is why i don't understand why people are so hot for him

he needs a break just like cowher

People say he's been mediocre since Elway left, but he's been even worse since Alex Gibbs departed.

Hell just hire Brian Billick if we are going to do this s***.

WTF is wrong with you son? You have a scratch on your record or something?

What about previously when Denver had a Top 10 defense four years running?
He can't pin his firing on Bob Slowik.

I just went over to NFL.com and looked at the last decade. It was shocking. It seems like Denver is always in the thick of things, but they have been downright mediocre since 1999. I retract my previous statements, and apologize for making anyone dumber for having listened to it. He is overrated.

Screw hiring shanarat. Just fire Herm!!! NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

and they have gotten piss pounded in the playoffs since elway....

I wouldn't say that. They've had 4 playoff appearances since '99.
Three of them resulted in losses in the opening round though.

He had a three year run that was pretty impressive. '03-'05. I thought that was his best chance at winning another Superbowl. He fell just short in the one chance he had (losing to Pittsburgh).

The last 3 years? Definitely mediocre.

Terrell Davis just predicted Shanahan will be the coach of the Chiefs in 2009.

Herm's gotta go first. And, damn it if he isn't still there... I really don't care who the Chiefs HC is for 2009 as long as they don't introduce Herm on opening day. I don't want shanarat but anything is better than Herm

Shanahan is a good coach, bad GM. Despite the past, he wouldn't be a bad coach for us.

SIGN HIM UP NOW!! He is the best coach in the AFC West, the others are idiots, he will crush the Bronco's

Shanahan + Pioli in 09. I'm on board

As long as The Rat can leave the defensive decision-making to someone else, he can nibble on our cheese.

As much as I hate to think it out loud...This would pretty much guarentee 6 and 0 in the division.

douche

Lets sign him as an ASSISTANT...HERM would be his boss. :)

Seriously..... **** NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to be strung up by your nut sack. I would rather have 10 more years of watching Carl shove it in our collective asses then have that cock bite as my teams HC.

YOU JUST HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!!! FOR ****S SAKE.

Exactly, he is better than anyone we have had in a long while.

The only way I would want Shanarat as a coach is if he was an O Coord. But on that same note I don't think Gailey will get or even deserves to get fired and I don't see Shanarat taking anything less then a Coord. position.

That would be like Great Britain asking Hitler not to kill himself so he could become their next Secretary of Defense. I mean he wasn't all bad. Right?

Could not agree more. He could use a year off more than any of them. You can see it in him. He is set...time to re-charge.

Wow I think I'd prefer him to Cowher. God he'd have a hard on for Denver!!

Mike Shanahan as head coach, Mike Martz as offensive coordinator and Al Saunders as an offensive assistant would satisfy me (if the Chiefs don't end up getting Pioli/Josh McDaniels)

Wont happen.

Why would you put Saunders below Martz? I know I would not... He was not at all popular with the 49'ers staff.

Shanahan isn't going to run Saunders/Martz's Air Coryell.

Seattle for some reason
seems about right

Martz is a putz. I would take Saunders over him any day.

:spock:

Won't ever happen and I wouldn't even want it to happen unless you could bring in a bad*** D Coord. and I would still rather see Cowher as a HC.

Great idea.

Nothing says "Develop a young QB" quite like throwing 50 times a game, out of 5 wide sets with no protection, and abandoning your running game.

Recipe for success, I tell you...

No, but Pat Bowlen can. CBS 4 in Denver is reporting that Pat wanted Slowek out, and Shanny refused.

Seattle has a head coach. Mora Jr. would be pretty pissed if he got the axe before ever suiting up for a game. Especially since he turned down the coaching gig of his old alma mater a couple of months ago.

Somewhere Arthur Blank would smile though.

Didn't seem to affect the development of Trent Green and Marc Bulger as decent NFL QB's.

Forgive me for wanting more than "decent."

I used to like you tuck.

+1

Decent?

Trent Green and Marc Bulger in their primes were Pro Bowl caliber QBs. The Chiefs would will be served if they could develop a young QB into the likes of a Trent Green or Marc Bulger.

And their primes lasted all of 3-4 years. Not nearly long enough.

In Bulger's case, it was a direct result of the beatings he's taken because of Martz' philosophy.

:clap:

F the Rat!

I'm of the 'anyone but Herm' ilk, but not in this instance.

Shanahan will not be coming to KC. He had years left on his contract and will probably be an analyst for a year while he continues to collect his money. Gailey is an excellent OC; if he had more than kids to work with KC would have been a contender. Gailey will stay. Yes, we need a change on defense - either a coaching change or abandon the awful cover-two. As for Edwards, give him another year. His first year was clearly on Peterson's watch, year two was an attempt at putting a band-aid on a corpse. This third year required blowing the whole thing up and stating over. Give him another year with a new GM.

PLEASE CLARK, GROW SOME BALLS AND FIRE HERM AND HIRE SHANNY!!! WE NEED HIM!!!

fixt

:clap:

It takes a n00b to inject some common sense here.

When Herm is shit-canned to the curb can you leave with him?

He's another Holmgren. A very good coach suffering from his own personnel moves. Remember, they took the entire Cleveland DL?

ROFL

This thread sucks!
