America's team

At least he drafted Jay Cutler. I can thank him for that for the next decade.  A great coach, he just got stale for America's team and they decided to make a change. No big deal.  It could be worse and like Miami have a different head coach every season.

Don't say bye bye too quickly. 

Of everyone fired this week.  Shanny has the best chance of land another job quickly.  And who know he might be coming to the AFCE.

Shouldn't America's team have as its mascot our national symbol, and not a symbol stolen from another country?

You are really taking this postseason well.  You gotta remember though, Miami had two coaches between 1966 and 1995.  You should thank Shanny that he sucked balls in Oakland or LA, whichever it was at the time, which permitted his signing with the Broncos.  You never know, you might roll through 7 coaches in the next 5 years.  Good luck.

He got lucky and got a Superbowl off the Back of a lucky 6th round Pick of a runningback.  I can't see why he lasted this long. Most coaches who are around that long leave when they want to. A Kick in the ass after 14 years..........Rationalize it any way you want. The Donkos suck!!   Cheesy

Amazing how bad we suck and you are barely a year removed from a 1-15 season.....  Roll Eyes

Ok, Don Shula "got lucky" too when Griese got hurt and Earl Morral came in and won the title...... New England "got lucky" drafting Tom Brady in the millionth round and winning numerous titles.....Lets start going through every team in the history of the NFL who won a title and I will find you a 'reason' they 'got lucky' to win.

Denver - trying to be serious here...

Was this move something that the fans have been asking for?  What's the general sentiment among the Broncos' fan-base?  I mean, we all wanted Wannstedt gone, was is the same feeling toward Shanahan?  I mean he's been there forever, and I personally didn't think he was on the hot seat.  Is this move a huge surprise to Broncos' fans?

I'm really surprised, like Brian.  I didn't know Shanahan was in Jeopardy.  He always seemed like a very competent coach.  Is this a snap judgment, or has it been in the works for a while?

At least we admit we used to suck! The last 10 years were a dark period in a otherwise Great 43 years of Football.  Listening to you rationalize and make excuses for your team is wearing thin. The Donkos SUCK. SUCK SUCK BLOW BITE EATME.  And with a new coach they will suck for some time. Maybe even a decade worth of suckiness! Deal with it.

Pittsburgh and Miami have done horrible with their new coaches. I see your point..... Roll Eyes

I got in the car after running to my mom's last night to hear this news and was shocked. I didn't even know he was on the hot seat

His track record in the last 10 years isn't what you would call "highly successful", but you're smoking crack if you believe Shannahan is not a competent, professional football coach. You don't get "lucky" and win back to back super bowls (and terell davis sucks - HE was the one who was lucky behind a great O-Line and TE, not the other way around).

Shanahan can coach anywhere he wants to. Dallas should consider firing Phillips and acquiring Shanny - he would know what to do with those offensive weapons on that squad.
