Mike Shanahan Fired as Head Coach of Denver Broncos

The monumental late-season collapse of the Denver Broncos has cost head coach Mike Shanahan his job.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen released a statement announcing the decision saying, “After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos. This is certainly a difficult decision, but one that I feel must be made and which will ultimately be in the best interests of all concerned.”

Shanahan, 56, had served as head coach for the Broncos since 1995 and prior to that he had a brief stint as head coach with the Los Angeles Raiders from 1988-1989 before an acrimonious separation. He then spent time as quarterbacks coach from 1989-1991 in Denver before leaving to become offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers from 1992-1994.

Shanahan led the Broncos to two straight Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 1998 but the collapse at the end of the 2008 season erased memories of those two titles. At one time the Broncos had a three game lead in the AFC West with three games remaining but a three-game slide at the end of the year allowed the San Diego Chargers to take the division and a playoff berth.
