first of all....I don't like guns... I wouldnt choose to carry..... and I don't judge those who do in a responsible fashion...
secondly.... what did you do for hoop it up? A friend of mine worked with those tournaments all over the country...

Not unless Wilson decides to kick Marv Levy to the curb too, which is highly unlikely IMO....
Yeah was thinking about that too, but didn't he step down from a primary "GM" type role and is only a consultant?
Not sure, I'll have to ask my confused friend that loves the Bills (despite never being anywhere near Buffalo, NY).
did you win? :smile2:

Yeah we won one in Dallas once and got second in a couple of others. I played in alot of different ones like Roundball Ruckus and Gus Macker, stuff like that. I had some pretty good players who played with me, alot of size.

Even the guys on my team took one, these tourneys were in gang areas something fierce and alot of folks had firearms. Security can only do so much lol.

I'm only a Shanahan lover if he's coaching my team (and winning!). If he's goes darkside on me, he gets no special favors.
I doubt the Bills have the kind of $$$ to put up front to pay off the 7m a year for the next 2.5 years plus pay Shanney his normal salary on top of that. For him to take any job in the NFL it would have to be with a team that's flush with cash to pay him up front. I don't think his wife would be big on Buffalo either.

The Bills wouldn't have to pay it off because if they paid him less than 7 million then Bowlen would make up the difference. So he's gonna make at least 7 million per year for the next 2 years regardless of how much he's making.

You guys are just setting yourselves up for disappointment with Shanny. It'd be nice if he came here, but expecting him to turn down full control NFL jobs is highly unlikely. He's an NFL coach and has been for forever.
And Buffalo can't afford to pay him? WHAT? They're an NFL team, not the CU AD, they have $7 laying around. Imo he'll end up in Chicago with his boy Cutler if Lovie doesn't turn it around.

I agree that the chances are slim of him coming to CU. But any hope is some hope right now.
I don't understand why people think that Buffalo HAS to pay him over $7 million a season. That just happens to be what his remaining contract is from the Broncos as long as he doesn't accept another coaching job.
Buffalo could offer him an 8-year $40 million deal and he might accept that if wants to try to rebuild the franchise from the ground up.
Chicago is a darkhorse, Lovie's defense has been banged up and fans are getting antsy after finally getting their QB. If they do make a move, I'm sure all of the "Big Three" ex-coaches will get interviews (Holmgren, Cowher, and Shanahan). His Illinois roots and being closer to Denver might be what he is looking for as well, but the Bears might also be leary of the problems Shanny had on D in Denver. Lovie could fire Ron Turner and hire Jeremy Bates as OC and retain his job too.

Yeah, I'm not trying to piss on everyones parade or anything, just saying don't get your hopes too high!
As far as where he'll go, I really have no idea. I do think it's far more likely he'd take a less than spectacular job in the NFL than the CU mess. But hey, I'd love to be wrong.

Shanahan likely won't come to Boulder, and he sure as hell won't be in Buffalo or the rebuild that is necesary in Chicago. Dallas or San Diego look like the most likely destinations from here.

So how much did the Shanny-mansion cost? I was under the impression it was up around $10million or something like that? At any rate, this isn't a place that you build, move into, and then try and sell 6 months later.
Also, and here is the big one that most of you don't realize... No one is breaking the bank for these out of work super bowl winning coaches. This is why they are all sitting it out right now. No one is offering up $7million a year to coach when they can hire an assistant or other lower paid guy like the Broncos, Ravens, Colts, Falcons, Jets, Rams, Saints and most of the rest of the league has done.
Right now, CU has FAR more going for it in terms of getting Shanny than any other football organization.
Besides, even though Shanny did some great things here in Denver, that was 10 years ago. Might be too long ago for people outside of Bronco-Nation to remember too vividly.

Let's think about this. Shanahan's going to take a several million dollar hit ditching the Shanamansion AND swap Buffalo, NY weather for the Colorado Front Range?
I'm a long way from sure he'd end up in Boulder, but I think the chances are 100% better than him ending up in Buffalo.
I love the weather argument....... NO matter what, when Shanny takes a break or a vacation (and I hear they are few and far between), he can hop on a plane and get to Cabo San Lucas in a few hours... or a few more hours.... From Buffalo, he can actually work 3 more hours on the plane :smile2:
I think the weather argument is way over rated... except in Steve Spurrier's case...
