As if getting destroyed by the division rival San Diego Chargers for the AFC West title wasn't enough to crush all the Denver Broncos fans in Colorado and around the country, what was to happen next was as surprising as it was heartbreaking.
Well, you had to think someone was going to pay for the Denver Broncos collapse, but I really didn't think it was going to be Mike Shanahan getting the boot as the beginning of changes yet to come.
Not only is Mike Shanahan a legend in the state of Colorado, usually mentioned right after John Elway's name when talking about Denver legends, but he is also one of the best coaches in NFL history in my opinion. Not many coaches in any professional sport can say that they have been with the same team for 14 years, in fact the only coach that can in the NFL is Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher and from the looks of things Fisher will still be the Titans coach for the forseable future with the way he has his team playing.
"This is as tough as it gets," Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said Wednesday.
No one and I mean absolutely no one wanted this to happen. Even Broncos Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler was quoted as saying:
"I'm disappointed, I'm shocked, I'm not happy about it, I'm not pleased with it at all," Cutler said.
Now there is no lack of good coaches out there for the taking like Bill Cowher and Eric Mangini, but no coach will ever be able to replace Mike Shanahan who might go down as the best coach Denver Broncos history.
