"One Dysfunctional NFL Team" | Fire Mike Shanahan Now Group's Blog

Which team in the NFL has a coach that can fire the G.M.? Only one, The (Denver Broncos)! (Mike Shanahan) became the only (NFL) coach to fire his General Manager,(Ted Sundquist). Ted Sundquist was the GM in name only, because Mike Shanahan was above him with the title of Vice President of Football Operations. Mike has the ultimate autority to hire and fire whomever he pleases at his will. (Pat Bowlen) says he's involved in the football operations on a day to day basis,because he goes to work everyday and is only ten feet away from Mike's office. Bowlen might as well be Ten Million Miles Away, because that's how involved he is. Bowlen has never checked or balanced the "power hungry little dictator" as one infamous ex-Bronco called him. The point of this blog is to illustrate the "Dysfunctional Mess" that Bowlen has gotten himself and the entire Bronco organization into. You cannot fire Shanahan, because that will prove to the critics that you made a mistake by letting Shanahan have all the power that he craved for. If you keep him and he keeps screwing up the upcoming drafts and free agency period,then your organization is basement bound for many years to come! Goodnight fellow bloggies and see you later.

True! But the dilema is not mine alone, there's lots of frustrated Bronco fans who wish they could get rid of the guy!

Let's keep in mind that this guy that supposedly screwed up the drafts brought us Williams, Foxworth, Abdullah, Marshall, DJ Williams, and a quarterback by the name of Jay Cutler. So he won't "keep" screwing up the draft. Plus, the offseason moves we have made prove to be very smart, unlike the big spending we've done on veteran busts the past couple of seasons. I'm tired of frustrated Broncos fans blaming the coach. We've had a lot of changes the past few years, and in any organization whether it's a football team or a restaurant when you have big turnover and a bunch of veterans leaving, it takes time for everyone to get their grove. You guys will all be praising our God, Mike Shanahan, when we make the playoffs next year and Cutler/Marshall become a pro bowl duo.
