Well its official.. The Broncos upper management have had enough, they are tired of Mike Shanahan's dismal results as of late.
Even though the topic stinks of "Yah but what have you done for me lately?"
The game is performance driven and performance based. Wins sell seats and tickets, wins keep the fans engaged and ultimately thats what its about right, if you're rootin for your home team, you wanna see them kick butt right??
Shanahan brought the Broncos to victory twice in the Superbowl, and he was held in very high regard by the team's owner Pat Bowlen.
But talk about the ish* hitting the fan! The Broncos were up by 3 games in the AFC West and only to squander their opportunity with an ultimate crushing of their playoff hopes in San Diego... They finished the season with a dismal 8-8 record.
As much as I loved them.. It brings back vague memories of the Seattle Supersonics and the emotional roller-coaster they took me on every season...
Bowlen had these words about the matter, "After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos," he followed the statement up by saying, "This is certainly a difficult decision, but one that I feel must be made and which will ultimately be in the best interests of all concerned."
You have to give Shanahan credit, he ran a pretty nice ship for 14 seasons.
Ultimately alot of coaches will be packing their bags this season, 2009 marks a record year for new head coaches.. I myself am excited to see some change!
