gnet550 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hate to start more rumors...but seen a few things on twitter about manning being in play still. Mike Shanahan in at HC Kyle Shanahan in at OC Manning in the front office... doubting this though...kyle making a lateral move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZColt11 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I could see it but I think Mike is done and I would think if Kyle was coming it would be for a promo to HC. I could see Mike maybe in a consulting role but that'd be about it. Not to crap on your hypothesis as I don't know anymore than anybody else, just my "gut". Where are you seeing this? At this point, I wouldn't mind it because I REALLY don't want to stay status quo. That is the very definition of insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZColt11 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Huh, that's interesting. Seems like he would want to just stay retired and do some "consulting". That's where the big bucks/low pressure are anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck2Hilton4TD Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Don't see why anyone would want Mike Shanahan--he was awful with Washington, but Kyle Shanahan appears to have a bright future.

Boiler_Colt Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Its just Kravitz saying what he would do. We're sticking with Grigano next year on the shortest of leashes and Manning will be in play again next year, i dont see Jim stopping that pursuit.

bluephantom87 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I wouldn't mind because Kyle has done wonders with that Atlanta offense. At this point I'll take him, Josh McDaniels or anyone with a pulse at this point but I doubt that Jim is really trying to do ANYTHING at this point though considering Chuck and Grigs have 3 more years left on their contract.

Indyfan4life Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm just tired of heresay and rumors. I want answers and definite answers. If Grigs and Pags are sticking around for another year, then it is what it is and we as fans just have to support our team. I for one am tired of the circus we have in our FO and coaching staff, but I know there is nothing that I can do about it. I'll just keep being a fan and endure the mediocrity we are being fed.

UKColt13 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'd like it. But I can't see Kyle taking a sideways move to a worse team when he's a top guy at a SB contender. I could see Kyle getting the HC job. 12 running the Falcons offense could be scary good. Mike may well come on as a consultant or a Coughlin type role maybe. As much as I like Peyton I might be inclined to go for the experience that Mike Shanahan has when it comes to VP of Football Ops. If Shanahan comes on board and brings on the best DC available I would be very much in favour of the move. Only issue is, I can't see them working with Grigson and Irsay has been sticking to his guns with him. I can't see us getting a VP of FO anytime soon since whoever it may be would not want to answer to or argue with Grigson as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was grudens success yet everyone was jumping for joy over the possibility for him. There are a lot of people who would be happy if we got rid of Chuckles and Grigson for Ryan Leaf at GM and JaMarcus Russell at HC. Also we could still be in the running for Kyle but we can't really do anything while he's still coaching for Atlanta. Maybe when the Falcons are done he will get the call from irsay. At this point we simply don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point we simply don't know. I think because Gruden's career didn't end on such a sour note, and he also had success with two teams as opposed to Shanahan--whose Broncos team was loaded with talent initially. I also think that it was reported that Shanahan interviewed with the Broncos last week, so there's still a little that could be done now--although that window may be closing the further along the Falcons advance until their season's end.

GwinnettColt Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If we're talking Shanahans, I think I'd rather have Kyle. He's done a great job in Atlanta. I also think that if Pagano goes, Grigson needs to be in the seat on the bus next to him. I'm not sure who we'd get for GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who hung around Denver for years after that and didn't get much farther than the middle of the road. The one who had a disastrous run with the Redskins.

lennymoore24 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Oh the "great" Mike Shanahan.

I am not advocating for Mike Shanahan but it is mighty short sighted to sell him short. He is a good coach that gets a lot out of his running game and we have drafted the guys for the ZBS that he loves to run. The issue with him was when he started playing GM. That would be the reason I wouldn't want Mike, because he might want to play GM at this point. Hence, I would not mind Kyle Shanahan for HC that would maximize the west coast system efficiency with our O, and Brian Guntekunst for GM (a Packers head of scouting guy).

Mike has great scouting ability. He had the foresight to draft Kirk Cousins and has stated that he was high on Andrew Luck since day 1. Snyder wanted RGIII and the Shannahan's were some how able to get a playoff birth out of a terrible QB. Plus Mike is responsible for Sharp, Davis, and Morris.
