I think he'll make someone else a good coach. Wonder if he'll look at college? He'd be a damn good college coach I think.

Detroit. Sure, he had Elway when he was REALLY winning, but he is still a good coach I think.

this year, all they had to do was beat a few crappy teams (Raiders or Bills), and the AFC west would be theirs, and they would have had the pleasure of seeing Payton rip the secondary apart again. A few years ago, they would have made the playoffs if they beat one of the worst teams in the league (49ers). Couldn't do it then, either. They've tried hiring different defensive coordinators, but that had little effect. I'm surprised they made the change since Bolen and Shanahan were connected at the hip. It will be interesting to see what direction they go in after this.

Paging Bill Cowher....</p>It will be really strange to have somebody else coaching next season. The only coach that has been with his team longer is Jeff Fisher.

The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully, this was a mutal decision. I can't imagine anybody being happy with the way things have gone the last few years.
