What Have You Done For Me Lately??

The firing spree continues, with the dismissal of a two time Superbowl winning coach in Mike Shanahan. This came to the surprise of many people around the country, because Shanahans Broncos were leading their division and in the drivers seats until the San Diego Chargers defeated them in the seasons finally. In a league where the motto is "What have you done for me lately, Shanahans biggest problems were his playoff record after winning the Superbowl twice(one and four) and missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. His last appearance was in 05 where he beat the Patriots and lost to the eventual champion Pittsburg Steelers 34 to 17. In Shanahan defense, I must stay that his record (24 and 24) over the last three season are equivalent or better than Tampa Bays Jon Gruden (22and 26), The Seahawks Mike Holmgren (23 and 25)and Brad Childress (24 and 24)of the Vikings. Gruden only Superbowl victory was in 2002 with a championship calibar team that had already made the playoffs in previous seasons. Holmgern record in the Superbowl isn't one to brag about (one-and-two) with one lost to Shanahan in 97 and the last in 05 to the Steelers as the Seahawks coach. So, what have they done for you lately, Holmgren is going to take a year away from the sidelines; Gruden is still has on the visor and headset as well as looking for a Defensive Coordinator; Brad Childress will appear in the playoffs for the first time as a NFL coach. Does Shanahan really have to be stripped of his sideline duties. Their are only two coaches that have not made a Superbowl with a better record than Mike Shanahan (Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy). What the Broncos needed was a good Defensive Coordinator (not Bob Slowik)who can get the best out of the Baily Brothers and someone to make more than 71 tackles in a season.
