Coaching Carousel
 

Another one today that I thought wasn't going to happen just yet.

Mike Shannahan, OUT in Denver as HC....and Coach Pant's favorite Dick Jauron is retained in Buffalo.

Thoughts?

not surprised. but you have to wonder when a coach gets axed, do they really think there's a better coach out there? apparently they do.....gee, and with cutler having a stronger arm than elway, they had to have been playoff bound. :D

I thought for sure that he'd get a pass based solely on his RB's injury situation. The fact that the owner probably had to keep reading/hearing about the 4-8 Charger's backdooring their way in, sealed the fate of Shanny.

I wonder who they are looking at for a replacement. It has to be someone that is defensive minded as they already have a few nice peices to the puzzle on the offensive side of the ball.

I wonder if Chucky in TB is safe ? :zz:

Unfortunately, I don't think the Glassers give a rat's asz about the team as long as the seats are full. He definitely needs to go but unless they can land Shanny, I don't see a better prospect. Plus you can count the minutes until Monty Kifin bails, and with huge holes at QB, WR and an aging D, it isn't the most appealing job out there.

kiffin is definitely gone. tenn's former DC was named to lsu yesterday. which made me happy!

He was there 14 years. Maybe management just thought it was time for a change and this was the ideal time to do it. Can't say I 'm suprised. The Broncos have won a total of one playoff game since they won the Super Bowl 10 years ago. I guess some people feel that since you win a Super Bowl (in his case two) that you are somewhat bulletproof. But the guy had a long sucessful stint in Denver and I am sure he will end up somewhere in the near future.

God I hope not.

The fact that Shanahan brought in high salaried defensive players year after year and the defence showed no improvement was the fatal blow. He has gone through Def. C. yearly with no improvement. I think Bowlen never thought he would fix that side of the ball, that's why he let him go.

Fatal blow was when he was told to fire his defensive coord., and he refused. One sentence later in the mortal words of Trump. "You're Fired."

hey shanahan, go back to your day job; look-alike for martin sheen.

take dick "blago-head" jauron with you:zz:

Question?
 

Anyone surprised the AX hasn't fallen in KC on Herm Edwards as of yet? I'm not a Chief's fan (longtime Redskins fan), the Chiefs were at times competitive, and of course had to deal with some injuries, but still it may be time for a change in coaching there, any thoughts?

They were short on talent and may have a young QB emerging. Not the time to make a move. Next year they win 7 games at minimum.

As per reports from NFL Network...

John Gruden OUT as HC of TB Bucs...

Along with GM Bruce Allen... Good Friggin' Riddance

Mariucci doesnt sound too thrilled with the timing of it, for both the coach/gm and the organization. He say's he almost drove off the road en route to the airport upon hearing about it.

Its the teams that fell apart down the stretch that are/were looking elsewhere for new coaching. NYJ, Den, and now TB.

Gruden out in Tampa....ooops missed your post Declans

What Did I have ....ESP (N):rolleyes:

Geee...and everyone says...that Mr. Al ( Hall of Fame )Davis is crazy....?:zz:

....and Tony Dungy in. Wait...did this already happen? Or was it Spurrier. Oh wait...that was the Bandits....
