Agreed. Shanahan was praised for being an "offensive genus", but look at his record post-Elway and you see why he succeed. I said for a couple of years before he was fired that he needed to go for the team to move on. But the Broncos don't have the answer with their current coach. But, it really isn't any different than most teams that move on after a successful coach. The next coach usually is pretty bad compared to the one before. Each coach is compared to his predicesor, which is why the next Bronco's coach will be seen a hero (IMO).
IMO, Shanahan won't have any better success in Washington than his latter Denver years. And, I could see it more like his stint as the Raider's head coach.
>Yeah, but the Broncos have proved they were just an Elway away from being - the Browns <s>
