Mike Shanahan as your 2010 Bills head coach?

If there is anyone on the Mount Rushmore of 10 million dollar coaches that I think is completely overrated, it’s Shanahan. Yes, Shanahan knows offense but he doesn’t know anything about defense. From 2004-2008 Shanahan’s defense was ranked 15th, 14th, 19th, and 29th. Shanahan may have the most experience in running a franchise, but If you think the Bills had issues with drafting players, check out Shanahan’s dubious 1st round choices while in Denver. People forget that Shanahan missed the playoffs three years in a row before being fired in Denver. Not to mention, Shanahan has only won one playoff game since John Elway retired way back in 1999.

I go back to a comment Ralph made after last season. He spoke about how dull and boring the offense was and how he wanted to see change. If he wants a solution to that problem, Shanahan is his problem solver. But just like Bill Cowher, Shanahan is going to cost a ton of money and will want complete control. I would think he’d like Shanahan over Cowher because of his offensive ability, but again money talks and Ralph won’t walk.
