Thread: Do you think Shanahan is a HOFer?

The devils advocate position would argue he rode (goat players) Elway/TD's coattails to 2 SB victories, never was able to replicate that success, and then failed spectacularly with the Redskins - some would say negligently in regards to RGIII.

But when you HC back to back SB wins, it should be a slam dunk.

Between his son's excellence and his singular offensive acumen, he left his imprint on the game of football. Given the championships, it's next to impossible to refute his place in the HOF.

I’ve never seen a HOF coach lack great players. I don’t value that argument very much, Abe. The man also put his great players in position to thrive via scheme, play calling, and all that coach shit.

Shanahan is a top five all time modern football coach. JMO.

I didn't say I agreed with the devils advocate opinion, but it is one I have read on the dark web once or twice.

I, like Jaded, am a Shanastan.

Yep, I'd love to see the coach who won multiple super bowls with a bunch of scrubs.

Just come forward and own your hate.

PHOENIX —As the NFL's most important decision makers gathered for the NFL Annual Meeting, so too did some of the most prominent media members who cover the league.

And the consensus among ESPN's Adam Schefter, NBC Sports' Peter King and The MMQB's Albert Breer was that former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan is worthy of election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The winningest coach in Broncos history, Shanahan's legacy spans a number of categories.

"It's unquestioned," King said of Shanahan's impact on the game. "The great thing about Mike is he left his footprints in the sands of the NFL. … I think his legacy is above reproach, and he's one of the great offensive minds in the game."

Without a doubt he's deserving especially when you think about some of the other people that are in. One of the great offensive minds in the history of the league. His big downfall was too much loyalty to bad coordinators and bad personnel decisions. Beyond that you can't question what he was as a head coach and an innovator.

Slowik, that'll get you every time.

Bob freaking Slowik. Here's another guy that's a great example of the levels that there are in the league. He was a great defensive backs coach but not a coordinator and there are coordinators that are great coordinators but not head coaches.

His son might be good, though.

Of course Mike Shanahan deserves to be in the HOF some day.

Of course he is.
