December 30, 200817 yr Broncos fired head coach Mike Shanahan. The better decision would have been to strip Shanahan of his personnel duties, but owner Pat Bowlen made the reactionary move to fire him outright. Bowlen is very unlikely to find a better in-game strategist and influence on Jay Cutler. It's also now unclear what will become of the team's zone-blocking running system, a longtime Broncos staple. Shanahan finishes his 14 years in Denver with a 136-86 record, two Super Bowl wins, and seven playoff appearances. This is a foolish firing by the Broncos. ---RotoWorld.com
December 30, 200817 yr i personally think this should have been done years ago...the broncos have been slowly going south for years and shanahan was as much responsible for that as anyone there
December 30, 200817 yr This is probably the biggest shocker of the firings. Shanahan still has a lot left in him. The Broncos also fired their VP of football operations i believe, so i guess they just want to start a slight rebuilding project in the front office.

Also, maybe Chower goes to Denver now?
December 31, 200817 yr I don't think Cowher is coming back... I can't believe that about Shanahan. Jeez, I'll take him in Washington.

Also, maybe Chower goes to Denver now? If Cowher returns anywhere, i believe it would be with the Jets sadly. He would want to make a splash with an already contending team, and the Jets is where he would be able to contend as well as get a lot of publicity. The Broncos, Browns, and Lions are not the right fits for Cowher right now, the Jets seems like the only place he could actually get the money, the front office support, and the media he wants following him around.

I heard that report as well, ESPN has conflicting reports at the current time.
