how does Shanahan retain his HC position in Denver?

That's got to be it, because as a Chief's fan you would know :P

he's like marty except he already had john elway when he rolled into town

Don't forget that John Elway didn't make it to his 5 Super Bowls without Shanahan. Nor did Steve Young make it to his 1.

Perhaps, but he still knows how to win games. The Broncos are 91-67 since Elway left, which is still pretty decent, especially considering he had Griese and Plummer under center for 8 of those 10 years. For comparison, we're 75-83 in that time period.

I'm not saying he's the best coach ever, but if they can get a defense in Denver, they could be scary.

Chargers are this year's Steelers/Giants. From obscurity to the Lombardi!!!

or maybe not...

those were his guys, he went out and brought those people in to be the solution so you can't cut him a break for that

1 playoff win in 10 years is 1 playoff win in 10 years. we all derided Carl for not winning one in 15 years, and we beat up Marty for only winning 2 in 9 or 10 years. what's the difference?

he was able to take john elway and terrell davis and shannon sharpe and rod smith and ed mccaffery and etc etc to the super bowl, 10 years ago, credit him... but his body of work is pretty average.

I think he is still a Top 10 coach just that he has been in one place to long and maybe complacency has set in and the attention of detail isn't there any more.

If they lose on Sunday they would have given up a 3-game division lead and I don't know if that has ever happened in NFL history.

As far as the D goes they have been trying to fix the D for the last 5 years or so without any success. Honestly they probably need to get a real GM in there and take some power away from him to get it turned around. I doubt that happens though.

It hasn't. At least they'll be able to make history.

Yep. The only valid reason he is sticking around is because he won back-to-back SB's 12 years ago.

Denver has just looked...off, lately. As of right now, I fully expect the Chargers to wax the Broncos, especially in San Diego.

Good to know thanks.

IMHO this would be a fire able offense especially with all the talent that is on that team at least offensively.

Well, to a point.

Shanhan will leave only after scandal
and that doesn't sound far fetched
he's petty and has no scruples

A question for all you "CUT LJ" fans out there. Do you want to face him twice a year in Denver. You'd better believe they'll sign him (given his huge games against them) and that he'll run angry against us.
