WOW! The Rat just got PAID! $20 mil!

He's a great coach, will have a job tomorrow if he wants it.

DT

PLEASE NO COWHER

At least he knew to get rid of Portis instead of handing him the keys to the bank.

shanahan has been treading water for a decade....firing assistants and signing one terrible FA after another while going no where...

he is way past his prime...he needs a break

no way do i want him in kc

i'd rather have cowher, it that were the choice

i don't want him as GM/HC though

he needs a GM to keep a leash

wow! that's crazy

That's true. Good point.

He is a great coach, just keep him at that, and he will get a job fast and yes we should consider him

If Al Qaida cut bin Laden, I wouldn't want him as president.

Pioli and McDaniels are going to end up in Cleveland...

I wonder if we make Polian our GM if he keeps Herm...after all, Tony fuggin' Dungy is the head coach in Indianapolis.

And just what has he won without John Elway?

I think he's a good coach. Wouldn't give him personnel control though.

Hahahahahaha. Sneak into the playoffs at 8-8 to save your job and look back as everyone else falls behind you. That has to be surreal.

No shit

I bumped a thread Claythan started there a few days ago pimping Herm. Some guy said that Shannahan would not go until he was ready.

I think he is a pretty damn good head coach. His problem was trying to be the GM and coach.

A good GM to feed him his talent and he would be a great coach.

Yeah, but that's only because we don't have the right personnel to run his scheme.

Garcia Bronco said this had no chance of happening.

And what did Elway win without TD?

This is on a faster pace than the Carl is fired thread.

Several AFC championships.

carry his team to the superbowl

Acutally I would say he is a great offensive coach. His D has sucked for a long time.

The only problem I have with Cowher is...

He used to be on the perennial hot seat in Pittsburgh until he won that Super Bowl...then he went out on top the year after when they underachieved and now everyone (including himself) thinks he's this unbelievably great coach...is he going to come into town and be arrogant and complacent and not work his ass off and think he can get by just because he's Bill Cowher?

I rather see a first time guy like Harbaugh/Smith/Sparano who are going to work their asses off in every phase of being a head coach because this has been their life long dream and they want to be great...not Cowher who is (or at least thinks) already great.

It just amazes me that Herman Edwards continues to have a job.

There is no GM I want here that thinks that Herm should stay.

most overrated coach in recent memory.

congrats on the success 10 years ago, but the guy had made gaffe after gaffe with free agents and draft picks in recent years.

this season he won 8 games in one of the worst divisions in football ever but that's probably a 6 win team otherwise.

i congratulate Denver for being forward looking and having the courage to make the right move even if it may not be popular.

agreed

That ring ain't as purty though.

Meh.

Great point.

Herm must have pictures of Clark having a blowjob party with his soccer team

No doubt about this...

BUT...

Shanahan is another one of those stubborn coaches who believes in his way and only his way...if you don't think he had a hand in those horrible defenses then you don't think Herm had a hand in our R2P2 horrible offenses the past few years.

Nothing.

He hasn't found that franchise QB since John. But at least he understands that you have to have that guy to win it.

I'm not saying hire him. Don't get me wrong. I just don't get the people who flame on the idea that he could be a canidate... 2 SBs

Since Elway retired after the 1998-99 season, the Broncos have gone 91-69 (.568) in the regular season, have won only one division title in 10 years and are 1-4 in the postseason.

Is that better than the Chiefs during the last eight years?

this

If the Chargers flame out in the first round of the playoffs, would it be conceivable that every coach in the AFC West is replaced this year?

No kidding.

If Pioli agreed to come here, but wanted to keep Herm, I wouldn't want him here either.

Here we go again, "Well, he did better than the Chiefs did" as if that's any kind of meaningful measure.

GM Chris Polian
HC Mike Shannarat

I wonder what Polian thinks about Herm...

Indy has had a lot of success under Dungy (because they have Peyton friggin' Manning) and Herm has the same philosophy as Dungy...I could see Polian keeping Herm on board which scares me...

Just slightly.

Un****ingreal!!!!!

You watch! You just ****in' WATCH; Denver will hire Cowher, and we'll end up getting our asses kicked EVERY ****ING TIME WE MEET.

And where will you be then?

But by all means; all you scientists out there please keep pimping whatever ****ing no-name dicksmack gets your two-inch wang hard.

:cuss:

..and what did either of them win without Mike Shanahan?

omfg! Sign him up!

Well...the last two years have pretty much tanked our W/L and at least they have ONE postseason win...

But yeah...the Chiefs and Broncos have both mastered mediocrity over the past decade.

Personally, I like our roster over there roster...it wouldn't be close if not for Cutler, either.

I couldn't agree more. **** that horrible cheating suck azz *$%&&%)(#)($*$*. I would stop being a fan the moment Clark named him coach.

Then I wouldn't want Polian either.

Well, which team would you prefer? He has to be measured against something.

They have a playoff win don't they?

I'm honestly thinking the Chiefs best route is hiring one of the Ravens guys and Rex Ryan, who I think is probably the best option out there.

LOL--Too much coffee today?

You may as well hire Marty Schottenheimer.

and what did Captain win without Tennille?

Who do you think should be hired (if Herm is actually removed, of course)?

See...this guy has bought into the legend of Bill Cowher as well...

The guy is a good football coach...but before that Super Bowl Pitt fans were calling for his head on a year to year basis...especially during the whole Kordell Stewart/Tommy Maddox run...Cowher lucked into Big Ben and that's that...

Now everyone thinks he's a top 3 football coach and that was never the case...

If Denver signs Bill Belichick, then color me worried...but the mere presence of Cowher with their current roster doesn't really scare me.

i can't believe this thread is growing faster then the "carl resigns" thread

I'd LOVE this guy as a head coach.

C'mon, 8-8 with the injuries he had is incredible. Herm's yacking about bad luck and blaming youth when we go 2-14, meanwhile Shanahan had it worse than us and managed to play .500 ball. That's pretty damn impressive.

Would I want him as my GM? Nope, too much power and responsibility for one guy. But I'd take him (and his hatred for our two biggest rivals) on our sideline all day, every day.

Sonofabitch!!!! :eek: :thumb:

I'll put Jason Garrett in Denver. I think Garrett needs to get out of Dallas, plus Bowlen loves offensive coaches.

Totally true...but as someone pointed out this next year is pretty much a free year for the GM if they keep Herm...

Personally, with so much invested in our 2008 draft, I'm ready for an entire new coaching staff capable of developing Dorsey...because I swear to God if Dorsey is a bust it's just going to set back this team even more...we really need him to be the stud he was advertised as.

I personally think this could happen if DeCosta was named the new GM, IMHO.

What I can guarantee is that Shanahan wouldn't grade himself a "C" for a 2-14 season.

Definitely confirmed on ESPN....The master of passing the blame to everyone but himself has finally been let go. This might kill the tanning bed business in Denver.

I bet your right. Maybe Bowlen thought now is the time becuz Garrett is available.

His problem is the defense. He's like a younger crooked Dick Vermeil. Solid offense, horrible defenses.

The only way He would be a good HC for us would be if there was a strong GM that did not allow him to make any decisions for the defensive side of the ball.

He has proven over the last 3 years that he is no better at fielding a decent defensive team than we have been.

No kidding, people around here think Herm throws people under the bus. Mike's been the master of that for years.

I can't remember a lame-duck coach surviving with a new GM.

They have to find a staff with a clue how to use talent. Gunther Cunningham is like the special ed. coordinator. He ****ing ruins players.

The whole argument of separating the coach and the QB does not make sense...what would Belichek be without Brady? (he did not even make the playoffs)..come on - that argument just can't be made in most cases where a HC has won all their SB's with one QB - which is MOST of them....

Holy Crap !!!! & Herms got a job LMFAO:cuss:

Holy shit I can't believe Bowlin made this move but it was the right one.

I guess TJ was wrong again........as usual

Damn, I thought for a minute you were talking about herm.

I think it's a bit ridiculous that every season 1/4 of the current head coaches in the NFL get fired...

We're going to have to get real lucky to find an actual coach worth a shit with all of that turnaround. It's Super Bowl or bust for every team, every year...I think those expectations are a little much...

I think it is practical for a team to make 1 Super Bowl appearance every decade...winning 1 every 10 or 15 years...with the parity in the NFL today.

So this is going to be one unhappy board for a very long time...if we did win a Super Bowl...what would everyone do the following year when we went 8-8...followed by 10-6 and a 1st round loss? Look for a new coach and GM?

I know we are waiting on a new Gm but how can herm still have a job!!

Shocker!

it's gonna be slim pickin's boys
