Report: Mike Shanahan Wants to Coach Either Michigan or Florida

I really don't think this is a good fit...so no thank you.

Next.

Honest poll question: Would you rather have take Hoke or Shanahan for the next 3 years

it

Mike Shanahan hasn't coached in college since 1983......or in other words, This is Spinal Tap came out more recently than Mike Shanahan's last time coaching a college kid. 

How much will he pay us?

I mean we haven't gotten deep into the "Gruden's coming" rumors yet.

Stahp. Pleez. 

Nooooooo!

Gruden, who has one few Super Bowl rings, a worse winning percentage, and has been in the broadcast booth for 6 years since getting canned by the team he took to the Super Bowl after a six year stretch with a losing record, gets GRUDEN!! type posts in every CC tread since forever, but Shanahan elicits universal DO NOT WANT posts?

Someone please explain. I'm confused.

Here's a performance from another guy who, after he'd been fired as head football coach of a college team that he'd led to a 10-28 record in four seasons (including the only two double-digit loss seasons in the school's football history), begged to be asked back as head coach for a fifth year, and even offered to work for free.

Despite his stirring performance, the school sent him packing.  But he soon landed on his feet in Ann Arbor, Michigan where his performances continued to be just as bad as they were in his previous job.  And he was fired again.

So, when the Florida and Michigan head football coach jobs open up, you can be sure that he'll be putting in his application because, like Mike Shanahan, he wants those jobs, too.

Elway and NFL MVP Terrell Davis, too! He just won the SB, guys. Oh, and I just woke from what some are telling be was a 15 year coma.

Yes ... yes and yes. He is 62. That is not too old. He is a top Nfl coach ... Maybe one of the best of the last 15 years or so. Don't blame him for the Redskins as they suck, This would be a very good hire.

Offense would be instantly better because it would have coherence. Current level of performance in General would not be tolerated.

I'd rather have Brady Hoke coach Michigan.

Would absolutely include a PSA and a digital rectal exam prior to any signed agreement

I can't imagine him being able to recruit. His harsh demeanor, I think, would not play well in living rooms across the midwest. Plus he has funny teeth.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH!!!!! Jerry Dinardo would also like a job!

A awesome hire, he has a way better record then Gruden. I would live this hire. He would get a few young college guys to help eecruit and Shanny doesn't take any shit!!!

Maybe if  our VIP and HC in waiting JH wanted him as OC it would be OK, but if he sucked as bad as GERG, then we'll all be put on KP.

This guy coached Elway and has won a Super Bowl. At this point I'm desperate for anything resembling a winner. If we can't get Harbaugh or Miles, I guess I'd be okay with this.

I realize that cook isn't looking good, but that might be the dumbest call I've seen on 4th and 5 all year.

But that's not going to happen either.

I've heard consistently he is not a player's coach and is not good at maintaining relationships with players. He is a strategist and a rather good one at that. The comparison I think of is Charlie Weis. Shanahan would do well with refined players and would put them in a good position to win. He would do an awful job at developing 18 year olds into good football players and responsible adults. Not interested. At all.

are you f*cking kidding

...successful implementation of the West Coast Offense at the college level.

Playbook is just way too deep and jargon too complicated for players at this stage of their career with classes to attend and NCAA time limit restrictions.

We reported this first. Can't help that BR picked it up. Can say with certainty that his interest is real. I don't see him as a fit at Michigan and don't believe he would be heavily pursued.
