    Ellis is the guy who has to keep our drunken GM in check.

    Totally unfair! Shanahan won 2 SBs and totally turned the franchise around. And his record AFTER ELWAY was still vastly better than any Broncos coaches in the last 5 years.

    He got fired despite winning 10, 10, 13, 7, 9, and 8 games his last six years as Broncos head coach and taking the team to the AFC Championship Game in 2005. He got fired for not consistently winning playoff games.

    Today's Broncos can only dream of winning 6 games, the worst of Shanahan's records over his Broncos career. And the playoffs aren't even a thought.

    Apparently you don't get it. Bowlen didn't get 7 years of trash football from Shanahan. He didn't get any years of garbage at all. He got mediocre football because Shanatan didn't draft very good QBs so in a conference with Manning, Brady and Roethlisberger he couldn't win playoff games or got to SBs.

    He still won 7 to 10 games every year and was competitive in the division.
    This is vastly different. The current Broncos are much worse than anything Shanahan produced in his entire tenure.

    Had Shanahan had 3 seasons in a row like this current team he'd have been fired in the early 2000's.

    He might have been given a little more slack because of the SB wins, but he would most probably be getting fire when the bye week comes right after Cleveland, unless they can put a beat down on the Browns that would make it a bit harder to justify a firing at that time.

    Shanny Jr wasn't available when Fangs was hired. Shanny Jr was never coming here, he went where he wanted to go.

    He interviewed here and would have signed here had John Elway made him an offer. He interviewed here first before he went to SF.

    Elway was very impressed. So much so that he had to make a total re-evaluation of his decision to hire Vance. Then he concluded to just go ahead and make the decision he had already made -- and hire VJ.

    If he had no interest in the Denver job he wouldn't have interviewed for it. He was interested. But, Elway would have had to make him a competitive offer with what SF offered.

    There's no point in firing the GM during the season when he's not doing much, but after it you can evaluate how the players he signed performed. And fire him then.

    When your team is a steaming pile of inconsistent, and there is no direction but sideways, firing a gm would send a message. So sure there is a reason to do it.

    We've had joke threads in normal part like the preemptive "fire the new coach" ones, but okay. Sorry.

    I'm pretty sure Shanny was the GM as well, so his firing actually opened up 2 job positions.
