Haha, there is very little too low for the New York Post.

[Warpticon]

Was that the Times that had that unbelievable headline when Ike Turner died?

The Post actually has a book out of all their "best" headlines over the years

Now, I don't know if this is a good source, but The National Football Post is reporting that Shanahan has been Shanacanned.

He deserves it after the collapse at the end of the year....I know the D is bad, but come on

The D was historically bad. Second least efficient defense in the tracked statistical era (last 20 years), behind this year's Detroit defense.

Do you think he deserved to stay on?

Change was necessary, and at some point, wholesale change was needed. Denver was below average for most of the past few years (they were fortunate to win 8 this year, actually), so they decided to pull the trigger. They can do better, but who knows if they will.

I don't think that the new coach would necessarily help this horrid D, but I do think that yes Shanahan had been mediocre or worse the last few years

This could well be Cowher's new job.

Well after how much control/money Shanahan got over the years I have to imagine they'll go with a cheaper coach who has less responsibility over personnel decisions. If they go the route of a defensive guru then maybe Spagnoulo?

[ISUCubsFan]

So Cowher, Shanahan, and Schottenheimer are all possibly available? I almost wish my team was in the market for a head coach.

Holmgren too maybe?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Now than an Eastern Illinois guy is available, I reverse my opinion on firing Smith.

I'd love to see Shanahan given the moon and full control over the offense, but I doubt he'd take it or the Bears would offer it.

What has Mike Shanahan done since John Elway retired that Lovie Smith hasn't?

 

Smith is more accomplished since 2005 than Shanahan is since 1999. ONE playoff win in that span and numerous late season collapses. I like him as offensive mind and think he's overall one of the better coach's in the league but he in no way deserves "the moon" at the expense of Lovie Smith. Smith's been a flat out more accomplished coach recently.

Been the head coach of a team with offenses ranging from slightly below average to very good since 2000?

[SpongeWorthy]

He's also been the head coach of some historically inept defenses.

Though I argued in the other thread that Lovie should stay, Shanahan, Cowher or Schottenheimer would be upgrades over him without question. If Angelo felt he stood a very good chance of getting any of those three, it'd be smart - in my opinion - to fire Lovie.

Eric Mangini and Romeo Crennel are probably available as defensive coordinators.
