Default Suppose Belichick gives Shanahan a call, "Wanna be OC for us?"

There's talk that Mike Shanahan will sit out for a year, but what if Bill called him? The two have an open respect for each other. Why not a dream team coaching situation with one of the NFL's most brilliant offensive minds directing Tom Brady and crew?

It would also allow Shanahan to hit back at Denver, despite his press conference stating he bore no grudge against his former team and owner.

It's unlikely but could it be possible?

i seriously doubt shannahan comes here, or that BB even calls him...

but as most ppl think, BB will prob not name an OC this yr, and take more duties up himself while a young guy learns


why instead of no OC, he has shanahan show the ropes for the new guy...then that coach gets both BB and shannah mentors...

and then they split, and the young takes over for OC

Maybe BB can use this on Shanny:

"Mike come on over and work with me as the OC for the Patriots for a couple of years. I need someone to maximize the talents of Brady, Moss and Welker so that we can re-write the record books and you are just the guy.

After a couple of Lombardi's I'll head upstairs as full time GM and you can take over as HC and together, along with the Kraft family, we'll shoot for another 5 Lombardi's over the next decade."

Bill would not hire Shanny ... it would be a media distraction ... the last thing Bill would want.

No and definately no if the following is true.

Not sure of the rules but the broncos are paying the remainder of Shanny's salary. Would they be off the hook if he taks another gig?

well..everything, playbook, scouting reports etc. plus they are peers - i dont think shanahan would want to come and be under BB or for that matter anyone.if the minn owner is smart, he would fire the imcompetent childress and bring shanahan.obviosuly it wont happen.
