Now this certainly came as a big shock to me- the Broncos fired Mike Shanahan as the head coach. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the Broncos failed to make it to the playoffs by blowing a three game divisional lead.
I didn’t think I was a huge Broncos fan. I’m a fan, no doubt, but when I heard the news I couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread like it was me who had just lost the job. I find that very strange since I really didn’t care if they won or not. It’s odd that he can be the most winningest (is that a real word? Chris Collinsworth would say so) coach in the NFL and has the best record of any Broncos coach.
But- that being said those wins have only lead to one playoff victory since John Elway retired. Pat Bowlen the owner of the Broncos was quoted as saying this, “After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos.”
