portis will be gone i think, i dont think he and shannahan got along well. im sure shannahan will bring his own offensive staff since he has his own distinct style of offense. im sure he will bring his son in to be the offensive coordinator, and who knows maybe his son will be groomed to be a future head coach for us. id like to see jerry gray retained on defense, but other than him i dont really care too much either way on anyone.

Say what you will about Shanahan's end tenure at Denver, he is the best coach available, he is a known for building high-power offenses, he is "fresh" hasn't been calling bingo or running a nascar team, and has a strong relationship with the GM.

I call it a win.

This is the first coach we've had since Marty with the balls to tell Synder NO, when it comes to personnel decisions (and I include Gibbs 2.0...he was just too damn nice).

This team is a two year project for anyone, but this is the most hope I have had for a competitive team since 2004. I'm interested to see who is coming in at director of player personnel...that is Mike's one glaring weakness and he needs a strong person there along with his son.

Zimmer as D coordinator and his son will be O coordinator

I believe this entire coaching staff will get the ax. Players, I have a few longtime veterans in mind that may not be back. The speculation from now until training camp and beyond is what's going to keep it interesting.

I heard Hixon is staying.







Not really, but it had to be said.
