Shannahan is Fired

[tk13]

Yeah, don't know about that. If AJ Smith can't handle Marty's desire for control, you'd think he'll have a real hard time with Shanahan.

Too many posts to quote. But this is the way it starts:

"You're going to get exactly what you deserve for such a gutless move. When this team is floundering without an identity and our offensive core is bailing on us, remember this is what you wanted."

BTW: I agree.

This is just a a sample of the first 50 post or so in that thread

Here let me give you some of your own advise;

Quote:
Please. We know you want to get rid of Mike Shanahan, so go ahead and get it out of your system now. Pretty soon, though, it's going to be clear that Shanahan is gone, and the focus will no longer be on whether Shanahan should be here or not, but what happens next.

So get it out now, but please - when that focus shifts to reality, lets keep the discussion on the moves the Broncos are making, and not the man, and have a productive offseason of discussion.

That's it let it all out...

Karma is b**** Issac.

While I don't like seeing Shanny go, we will not be 2-14 or 4-12 next season. This team will make a run, especially if we bring in the right guys who will fix the D. Cough cough, spagnola, cough cough.


Taco John = You'd have to be drunk to make such a gutless move and abandon the reubild effort Shanahan was putting together. How many runningbacks do we have on IR, and still managed to compete for the playoffs?

Screw Bowlen. He just set this organization on a path that nobody here is going to be happy with.

Is this your 'Get it out of your system now, Shanahan apologists!' thread?


Here's the revised version.....

Seems pretty reasonable to me!

We're going to lose both good players and good coaches.

And this team is about to face the toughest time in its existence.

Things run their course. If you've watched the game long enough, you'd know.

Taco John = Whatever. You wanted Coyer gone, and you got just the defense you deserved. Now you wanted Shanahan gone - you'll get just the team that you deserve... Let's hope that Jay sticks around, or you might end up with another Plummer, like you deserve.

You want to know what road this team is on? Examine the road the 49ers have taken. That's the road this team is on.

I agree with Taco, this is a huge error by Bowlen. Bowlen is a ****ing moron. Yeah, the season ended badly, it was very painful, but we also had to go through a ****load of injuries. Mike laid a great foundation for us. We were on the rise. He added an awesome array of young offensive talent. We're all pissed at his chokejob, but that doesn't justify this. He has flaws, but they were outweighed by his tremendous strengths.

I am so disappointed in Bowlen. And if he picks Cowher I'll be even more pissed. Cowher is STUPID. He's dumb. He's lacks intellect. He's a pure motivator, which is not bad for our team, but he lacks actual coaching ability. He needs to surround himself with coaches to succeed. I would truly hate Cowher.

I want Shanahan. Even a bloodied and humbled Shanahan. Because its he who has grown as a leader, who has improved as a drafter, who has become more responsible a spender and has laid a super foundation on offense. This smacks of childlike petulance on Bowlen's part. If Pat choked on his mink coat I probably wouldn't mind a whole lot. This will be a setback for the team. There's no one out there right now better than him as an actual football coach (by out there, I mean on the market, and on the whole, I think only Belichick exceeds him in purely football terms). This was totally unnecessary. This IS extremely harmful.

This is extremely stupid. **** you, Bowlen. I hope you get assraped by someone with a 15 inch dick. And AIDS.

Mike worked to get better. He started listening to others. He began drafting well. He was turning it around. NO ONE expected anything of us this year and he outdid all the expectations until we collapsed at the end.

This is the darkest day in my 17 year love affair with this team. I'm very offended by this. **** you, Bowlen. **** you.

no more retreads! Clark is going to take a long hard look at this situation. Get used to it.

Cool.

Will he let Pat Bowlen know what he thinks in a timely fashion?

[ClevelandBronco]

Cutler: "I was talking with Mike yesterday about personnel moves. I think it (firing Shanny) was the wrong move."

But the kid is only a third year pro. Maybe his opinion shouldn't matter.

[CHIEF4EVER]

The Mange is positively imploding. I didn't add anything there out of fairness. After all, they aren't coming here and making fun of us for still having Herm.

Maybe Al davis hires him back.

You better hope not. Mitch Hothlus, one of the few people I can count on one hand as being a respectable radio guy, is of the opinion that the Raiders aren't that far away from getting their shit together.

[Hammock Parties]

Those guys are in denial.

It's sad.
