Lets keep Coach McDaniels, huh?


I am a 'told you so' kind of guy. Negative bloggers that knew nothing of football wanted the coaches head from day one when he picked up Lonnie Paxton as his special team long snapper with a bonus of $1million.

Well I posted that while in Denver, I was a member of the Quarterback club and got to meet Pat Bowlen and spent about 16 Sundays listening to him. He is a very smart business man. So when he picked Josh McDaniels, I just thought he was the best man for the job, according to Mr. Bowlen which is fine by me.

Did I question some moves that were made? NO because I do not have any football player evaluation experience or knowledge. I did want to hear the reasonings behind a few, which when stated made complete sense.

Now at 6-0, all the moves do make sense and the pundits are eating crow and spintalking that 'nobody could have seen thsi coming' ya right!!

I was sick of Shanahan

Shanahan had 3 seasons to get to the playoffs, after the Steelers beat the Broncos in
the AFC championships. The Broncos just did not get it done last year against Buffalo, or San Diego.

The Denver defense which was put together by Shanahan was the problem last year. Shanahan had the illusion that he was another Bill Walsh when he took over as GM, and head coach.

McDaniels is having a great run this season, and I want to keep him, if the Broncos
make the playoffs. Unfortunately, in the NFL these days you may be looking for work
as as coach, unless you make the playoffs.

So far McDaniels is off to great start, and Mike Nolan is doing great as a Defensive
coordinator.

The big win against the Chargers puts the Broncos in the drivers seat for a division
win, and the playoffs.

I'd say barring disaster

he’s bought himself at least 3 years on the job

I think

Unless the Broncos win less then two games out of our next ten, McDaniels is going to be the coach for as long as Bowlen can lock him up. Bowlen rewards success, and is very patient with failure (Shannahan got three years to get us back to the playoffs).

I agree with your point of view

If, instead of assuming McDaniels is an idiot, you assume he is brilliant, then good reasons can be found for every thing that is happening and a delightful satisfaction begins to permeate your mood as you root for our ‘new team’ .

Instead of looking for reasons why McDaniels decisions are wrong, look for the reasons they are prudent and wise; that, for me, is the path to figuring out his team

I considered myself in the optimistic crowd

I predicted 4-2 to start the season. Wrong
I predicted 8-8 for the season (and win the weak afc west)….probably Wrong kinda

my prediction was a good 8-8 not like last year. I thought we’d be competitive and have a chance to win every week but I didn’t think we could play like this so I’ll own up to that one. It appears my prediction for the playoffs though is looking good just not in the way I though we’d get there. Looks like we’ll compete for a first round bye instead of squeak in.
