1. Fire the head coach of the last 13 seasons - Mike Shanahan (top photo). The head coach that gave Denver back-to-back Super Bowl wins. The head coach that posted the most wins in pro football history during a three-year period - 46 wins in1996–98.
2. Hire Josh McDaniels, a cocky rookie, (center photo) to take over the head coaching duties.3. Allow the rookie head coach to alienate Jay Cutler (lower photo), the Broncos pro-bowl “franchise quarterback.”
There, see how easy that was? Nothing to it.
Now Cutler is the Chicago Bears starting quarterback. The Broncos got Kyle Orton in exchange. It’s like trading off a Cadillac Escilade for a Ford Focus.
Funny thing is - many of the fans and a couple of local TV sportscasters blame Jay Cutler. They even called Cutler a “cry baby” for wanting to be traded after the rookie coach tried to bring in quarterback Matt Cassel from the Patriots. Cassel said no to the Broncos and is now the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The fans and sportscasters have a short memory. They called John Elway a “cry baby” in the 1980’s and look how he turned out.
So how far have the Bronco’s fallen?
