THE TEFLON IS GONE
Posted by Mike Florio on December 30, 2008, 5:27 p.m.
Nearly a decade after his last Super Bowl title, Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan finally has been held accountable for years of relative mediocrity.
Shanahan, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, has been fired. Shanahan had three years and roughly $20 million remaining on his contract.
The long-time head coach, whose teams won the NFL title after the 1997 and 1998 seasons, assumed full control over the football operation by finagling the termination of G.M. Ted Sundquist, a current PFT contributor.
The move puts the Broncos immediately in play not only for a new head coach, but also for a new G.M.
As we suggested in our most recent Ten-Pack for SportingNews.com, owner Pat Bowlen might try to jump into the bidding for Pats V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli, in order to block Pioli from landing in the AFC West with the Chiefs.Comment

I wish I could get fired and keep $20M for doing nothing...
If I'm him, I don't look for a job for a few years.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

I just don't see him being a plus for GB.
Plus, I'm still pissed at him for beating the Pack in the Super Bowl!Comment

Shanny is one of the better coaches in the league imo. It takes a long time to recover from the loss of a HOF qb. Especially when you trade picks away annually!
We'll be in that boat soon enough I suspect!Comment

Not a bad idea...but he would probably have to forfiet some of the 20 mil he gets to keep. Some of the ex head coaches would make great DC and OC and MM should think about the available coaches out there to improve his staff...and it needs some help.Originally posted by PartialComment

Just goes to prove that old saying:
There are only two types of head coaches (or managers):
- those who have been fired; and
- those who will be fired.Comment
