Detroit perhaps.

No where to go but up.


Got two number one draft picks, two number threes and couple extras.


Got a killer WR, and a decent defense if you can get em off the field.


He could only look damn smart there, and he could bring in whomever he wanted.


He would win in Dallas.


No where to go but up in KC.


He would take Rivers and LT to the superbowl.

Who's to say? I have no clue. I do know that if I were a team owner, I'd hire him. I wouldn't give him keys to the safe, but I'd hire him in a NY minute.;)

Shanahan will take a year off, so speculating now is a little rough. I imagine Kansas City is a possibility, but most likely an NFC team, and probably a mid-market team like Minnesota.

He'll coach again, but I expect it to be in a place none of us expect.

I don't think he would turn down any job, just because they are Broncos rivals. Business is business. That's the very reason he understands why Bowlen made his decision. My guess is that Oakland is the only franchise that would be off his list.

Now, he might not want to go to some franchises, because of the owner or state they are in, but I don't think he would pass on SD or KC, just because they are in the AFCW.

well he said he wouldnt go in the afcw, but who knows.

I personally feel, cle,dal,det are the most likely scenarios, with the jets being a long shot.



You know what i just realized. We are no longer going to be ripping teams off in trades.

If he lands somehwere else, we now have to worry about him ripping us off in trades. We all know he is a mastermind trader too- just another bad thing about this whole situation.

I really hope he goes college, so we dont have to worry about him.

Shanny sort of eluded to not staying in the AFC West so i think SD and KC are out although he could very well go to one of those places. But, i think Dallas or even more the NY Jets are bigger possibilities. I dont think he really wants to start from scratch with the Lions so at least with the Jets he has some of the pieces already there.

I don't think Dallas is a possibility. Jerry Jones isn't going to give up personnel power, and Shanny isn't taking a job where he doesn't have personnel power. I'm going to come out of left field and say he goes to the Texans or Niners after next season.

SHANAHAN IN MIX - JETS DO 'DUE DILIGENCE' ON TWO-TIME CHAMPION
by BRIAN COSTELLO , The New York Post


The dream of Bill Cowher coaching the Jets died less than 48 hours into the team's search for a new head coach.

Now the Jets are left formulating Plan B.

That plan includes Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan and possibly Mike Shanahan, who was fired by the Broncos on Tuesday.

The Jets have had no contact with Shanahan, a team source said, but they are performing their "due diligence" on the two-time Super Bowl winner.

The Jets have requested and are expected to receive permission to interview Ryan, the longtime Ravens assistant and son of legendary coach Buddy Ryan. That interview will not take place until next week because the Ravens are playing Miami on Sunday, and NFL rules prohibit assistants of teams playing this weekend from interviewing before their first-round games.

Spagnuolo will interview Saturday, and in-house candidates Brian Schottenheimer and Bill Callahan will be interviewed tomorrow, according to a team source.

Shanahan is an intriguing late entry to the Jets' coaching search. The 56-year-old was fired by Denver after 14 seasons with the team. He went 146-91 in the regular season there, but his record is just 24-24 over the last three seasons. Fired Jets coach Eric Mangini went 23-25 over the same period.

Shanahan may want control over personnel as well as coaching, something Jets owner Woody Johnson said he does not believe in. Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum is remaining in control of personnel matters, a stumbling block for big-name coaches who want say in personnel.

After Cowher rejected the Jets late Tuesday night, theories popped up that the former Steelers coach may find the Broncos job more desirable because no general manager is in place there. Cowher would like to bring someone with whom he's familiar to be in charge of personnel.

The other plus for Denver is quarterback Jay Cutler. A source told The Post that Cowher did not want Brett Favre to be his quarterback. Discussions never got that far between Cowher and the Jets, but a team source said whoever is the team's new coach will not have Favre forced upon them.

"Woody and Mike want Favre to return," the source said. "However, they understand the new coach will have significant input in that decision."

Ryan, 46, has been the Ravens defensive coordinator for four years. He's been on the staff in Baltimore for 10 years. His defenses have finished fifth, first, sixth and second in the league rankings. He has interviewed for head-coaching jobs in Baltimore, Atlanta, San Diego and Miami in recent years. The Ravens' players lobbied for him before the team hired John Harbaugh last year.

The other candidates on the Jets' short list are Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and veteran coach Marty Schottenheimer.

Frazier is considered to be the top minority coaching candidate in the NFL. The 49-year-old, a Tony Dungy disciple, guided Minnesota's top-ranked defense against the run this year. The NFL stipulates teams must interview one minority candidate - the so-called "Rooney Rule" - before hiring a new head coach.

Marty Schottenheimer's representatives spoke with the Jets on Monday, but the team seems to be lukewarm about hiring the 65-year-old. No formal discussions have been arranged.

Spagnuolo, 49, has emerged as the team's favorite with Cowher out of the picture. The energetic coach would give the team the antiMangini in terms of demeanor. He also is familiar to New York fans, a selling point for a fan base craving a big name. If the Jets do like Spagnuolo, they cannot offer him thejobuntilthe Giants are eliminated fromtheplayoffs.

Stafford out of UGA looks alot like Elway at times, and KC will have a shot at him. They also have good young defensive talent that fits well with his defensive philosophy of blitz. Imagine LJ in ZBS

I'm surprised Herm Edwards wasn't fired already.

Should Shanahan go to KC, the Broncos better get Spags, so his new defense can kick the ?!@# out of them physically, something that always happened to the Broncos when playing teams like Baltimore or Pitt.

01-02-2009, 09:40 AM
I'm thinking the Jets or Lions right now but a coach of his caliber probably has some owners considering firing their current head coaches to get Shanahan. I'd add KC, Dallas, San Diego, Washington, Cinn. and even Minnesota to teams who would consider that option.

01-02-2009, 09:55 AM
I think Detroit. Only because he could basically writed his own ticket there and do what he wanted to. That team is in need of someone that can take the reigns and put the pieces together.

I also agree that Shanny has a lot of teams pondering firing their head coach if he would go there.

It will be interesting for sure.

I would have thought Cleveland but it looks like that job may be taken! Shannahan wants control of personnel and coaching and in Dallas he won't get that and him and Jones would not get along. KC seems to be the perfect fit but Herm Edwards is still there! I haven't a clue maybe Detriot but who would want that mess! Good luck to him wherever he lands!

It doesn't even look like they are going to look at him from the rumors I'm reading this morning, from PFT, and from the Detroit Free Press.

On top of that they want a coach who will fit into "their" system, whatever system it is they plan on having, and I don't see Shanahan fitting into that picture at all.

The Lions are a cursed team. No coach wants to go there, everyone fails there. No matter how many 1st rounders they have. No matter how much potential on paper that team has, there's an atmosphere of losing.

I see Mickey going to Dallas 1st, then KC or SD tied for 2nd.

I'm more concern now who will be coming to Denver and the field looks pretty gloomy.

Too bad Mike Singletary has a job already.

I also could see him in NY with the Jets but
he would need to replace farve with a veteran

He would do well there as well.

I would stay away from KC as they have
too far away to go for him to win but
he could probably love to stick it to

I don't quite see it that way. I don't think Shanny is looking to "stick it" to the Broncos or Bowlen like he regularly looks to embarrass Al Davis. I think the two situations are totally different. His disdane for Greasy Al arises from the manner he was treated on the way out, particularly, Al stealing several hundred thousands of dollars from Mike. I think he totally respects Pat B, and understands the need for the organization to go another direction.

That said, I think Mike will do what is best for Mike regardless of what impact that has on the Broncos. Mike wants to win above all else, which means he will take the job that gives him the best situation to win another superbowl (or two or three).

Personally, I think the chefs could make alot of sense for him, particularly if the owner is willing to give him complete control and 2-3 years to turn the ship around. As I said in an earlier post, Stafford from Georgia reminds people alot of John Elway in tersm of physical skills. Could you imagine, a young Elway II, LJ with ZBS , Bowe and Gonzales in 2-3 years? Could be scarry. I guess the good news is that SlowDICK will probably be his coordinator, so not too much to fear!

I thought Jay Cutler reminded everyone of John Elway. What good is that when you don't have a defense. Well at least the Chiefs defense as lousy as they are is still better than this year's Broncos defense.

meh, in 2-3 years LJ and Gonzales will be mere shells of themselves anyway. I think KC is further away than Detroit as of right now.

I want Shanny to go to the Lions. any fans left deserves Shanny after this season. Detroit's also an easy team to route for. A lot easier than KC or Dallas anyway.

I think he'll end up a Cowboy though. seems like a good fit, except for the o-line. I can't see Dallas becoming a ZB team in one off-season. and would JJ even let that happen? I don't think the two egos would be too big an obstacle. after all Big Tuna and Jimmy Johnson have pretty big egos, and they worked out for a while (I'd think Shanny would be looking short-term like 2-3 years anyway if he signed with Dallas).

WOW......:shocked:..... No one picked San Diego!!! I thought for sure with San Diego's build and when they lose in the playoffs again they will make yet another coaching change! I feel he would jump at the chance!!!! Although I still feel like Dallas is where he will be next!

01-08-2009, 08:24 AM
If he got a job for '09, I figured only Dallas or SD were likely, both of which have coaches. I figured in SD, it would take one and out in the playoffs, which they didn't do. So, even if SD gets bounced now, Norv likely keeps his job.

Jones seems to be set, or has boxed himself in, regarding Wade Phillips. The only possibly way I see that changing is if Garrett signs someplace as a HC, then that could be Jones excuse to pull the trigger on phillips.

Short of that, we are looking at '10 for Shanahan, and then in addition to possibly SD or Dallas, you could have other teams like Washington and a few others that could both be in the market for coaches and be places Shanahan would want to go.
