Just passing along what Shefter said. He guarantees Cowher doesn't coach next year and he mentioned not to expect a big name or better put big money hire

Yeah, you never know though...

During the whole Favre saga this offseason...you had Mort and Clayton and all of the talking heads "guaranteeing" this and that...I heard several sound bites of these guys guaranteeing he'd stay retired...

If Cowher gets offered everything he wants and his family gives him the thumbs up, he'll be back...I don't listen to these talking heads...they can steer you in the right direction but guarantees mean nothing.

as in...

This was, by far, Peyton Manning's best season. I mean, he single-handedly has the best statistical season of all time (yes, even better than Tom Brady last year) in 2004 (I believe, maybe 2005...the year he threw 49 TD passes with a 122 QB rating)...

But in terms of what he had to work with...he's never had a better season. I love watching the Colts because of Peyton Manning...if the Chiefs ever had a QB like him...I don't know what I'd do...I'd be like John Hinckley, Jr. trying to assassinate the President to win over said QB's affection.

I'm fine with a defensive focus, obviously... I don't need the next coach in Denver to be a big name at all. I just want them to be smart about it.

The Broncos have a nice young foundation on offense and solid pieces on both sides, but the defense really needs focus.

I can't think of anything solid on that defense other than an aging Champ Bailey...but maybe I didn't pay enough attention to Denver this year.

There's several young guys with nice promise and who knows... if a defensive minded coach comes in with the right scheme, guys like Thomas, Crowder and Moss may actually lose bust status. Do they really suck or is it Shanahan's inability over the last decade to build defense. There has been zero consistency with the defensive staff and schemes.

It got pretty crazy when you guys basically traded for the entire crappy Browns line. That's a move that looks just as crazy in hindsight as it did at the time.

You mean the line that took us to the 3rd rated defense and the AFCCG

I heard Jim Bates, Larry Coyer( Mr. Outlandish ), and Ray Rhodes have interest if Greg Robinson doesn't beat them to it.
