When Mike Bowlen fired Mike Shanahan on Tuesday, it set the stage for the return of John Elway to the organization, and it could happen a lot sooner than Shanahan’s did. A couple of caveats: First, this is based on no inside information, only my observation of the dynamics among these three [...]
Ah yes, the rumor mill is in full motion now that Mike Shanahan is a “free agent” on the coaching market. The first thought is the Jets, who need a coach with Eric Mangini being fired on Monday, and now that Bill Cowher has told them “no thanks,” they will need to make a [...]
