Broncos fire McDaniels

[rondog]

Yeah, nobody saw that one coming, huh? Oh, Nelson....



I don't know what I'm laughing for, his severance package will still be more than my whole extended family's earnings for the last 100 years, and the next 100. Gimme that kinda cash and you'd never hear from me again. If I had that kind of money the only way I'd ever break a sweat again is on a beach somewhere, when the fan-waving babes have to take a bathroom break.

About damn time.

I believe they stopped paying Shanahan when he found another team.

Nope, Bowlen is on the hook for 40% of what Shanahan is making for this and next year..

ETA: I don't *think* McLoser has the same set up though, so IF, He gets hired for next year somewhere, Bowlen does not have to pay him..

[OgenRwot]

Due to contracts won't Bowlen be paying Shanahan,McDaniels, and whoever gets the job next ? 3-head coach salaries !!

Yep

I believe they stopped paying Shanahan when he found another team.

Nope

He may be able to get out of the McDaniels contract by firing him "for cause" due to the video taping incident.

If I remember correctly this wasn't a "fireable" offense in his contract. So we'll see, I hope they don't pay him and see what the courts decide.

glad he is finally gone. hopefully they get someone good to replace his sorry butt

[Mtn.man]

Bowlen is an idiot, the jealousy over Shanny was ridiculous.

Glad to see McD, hit the road and maybe in 10 years he will come about.

Look at Wade his dad was good but he continues to suck, but make Millions as a Suck ass..

Wish I could make millions as a suck ass...

i am doing the happy dance, said it from day one he's a loser.

i have always wanted to slap him.

i bet Pat spent the last week with his lawyers finding how to get out of paying him anything. betting he found the loophole and took it, no upside to firing him now otherwise.


how do you think this played into the play calling last night, 4th quarter and not going for it.

i am getting fired so i am going to ensure the next coach misses the playoffs for sure.

[Elhuero]

I figured mickeyD would get fired eventually, but not sure if doing it right now was a smart move.

now he's going to be paying three head coaches going into the strike.

the broncos suck this year, but they are not a bad team. a little tweaking and they will be awesome.

I think if he hadn't gotten caught following the pats playbook he would have kept his job longer. the cheating is what killed him.

[Mtn.man]

Maybe,,, but the video thing might come into play as it might be an infraction to his contract for insubordinate behavior...
Just my thoughts.

hmmmm could be.

he chewed out his staff in front of bowlen and alienated everybody after the raiders loss, then got caught cheating.

we are only one game ahead of the bills and the lions...... this is true bronco fan time.
