I remember fearing Kyle would go to Denver and the joy(and confusion) when Vance Joseph got hired, I wanted Shanahan from the start I wasn't feeling McDaniels and Riddick. So grateful Jed wanted Kyle from the start and we got our guy
Denver sports talk radio wishes Shanny was their's too lol
One can't help but wonder what things would have been like for the Broncos had they hired Kyle Shanahan instead of Vance Joseph. While Joseph had a better record than Shanahan over two seasons, Shanahan has now found his groove with the 49ers and his plan is paying off for the undefeated 49ers. Joseph is the defensive coordinator of a bad Arizona Cardinals defense and the Broncos are 2-6 with new head coach Vic Fangio.
Why couldn't they come to an agreement with Shanahan? The rumblings abound that the younger Shanahan was never a serious contender for the job even though he was highly impressive during the interview process. There's also buzz about his last name ultimately preventing him from getting serious consideration for the job. If true, that's just sad.
Mike Shanahan was a legend as the head coach of the Broncos. It would have been fantastic for his son to continue the tradition in the Mile High City. Instead, we're left wondering what might have been while Shanahan's team is on fire this season.
It's easy to project the 49ers being closer to a Super Bowl than the Broncos. In fact, the 49ers have the best record in the NFC right now and are in position to have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs if they continue their winning ways. There's a chance the 49ers make it to the Super Bowl this year, while the Broncos are looking at a top-five pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
