It will be interesting to see who goes where now. . .

There are reports Parcells could opt-out of his position with the dolphins, you have teams talking to Cowher, and now Shanahan is looking for new employment. . .

Screw free agency and the Draft, this year's Free Agent Coached pool is a hall of fame class. . .

Parcells can opt out only if the sale of the team is made. Even if he did it likely will not happen for awhile.

From what I have heard, then only thing that is holding up the completion of the sale if the Dolphins playoff run.

It's been a long time since Denver has had a good defense. Shanahan is the best play caller in the NFL, but defense is not his thing.

He was the longest tenured coach in the league. I guess sometimes you need a fresh voice...


I'm thinking Shanahan is going to wind up in Dallas. If there was ever a perfect setup for him it is that team. They have great offensive personnel and if anyone knows how to get the most out of their QB it is Shanahan. Great fit...

i agree would be a good fit and he can also handle the ego trips in the locker room.speaking of defense bill cowher would be good for denver.

Cowher is an east coast guy. His family is all here. His daughters go to school and work in the NY/NJ area. He will not go west. He is going to be talking to the Jets soon, although it is also rumored he is going to have something to say during the pregame on Saturday

He still had 3 years and a lot of money left on his contract!! Plus, I'm sure he will not be out of work very long....

Jerry Jones might just change his mind about Phillips. Now that Shanahan is unemployed.

The issue isn't Mike as a coach - it's Mike as a G.M. The owner wanted to shake up the coaching staff - and the only way to do that is to bring in a new G.M.
