Shanahan is the best coach the Broncos ever had for two reasons imo
1. He will do ANYTHING to maximize the ability of his team to win. You would never hear Shanahan saying his team is not good enough to play Hillis in short yardage or Tebow inside the 10. Shanahan will use every single player, play or coach who will help him win...he does not care who is making what, who was drafted at what round (or not drafted) or if it is his player or another coaches player.
2. When he makes a mistake he owns it, corrects its and moves on...RIGHT NOW. People bash him for drafting Clarett (sp?) but I like the way Shanahan moved on asap once he realized it was bad.
He definately was lacking in his vision for the defense but those two things above made him deadly as a coach.
So many coaches now a days get stuck with their players or their way of doing things. They end up with a great player but waste his skills for many reasons.
