The Ultimate Leader

C'mon now, I don't mind all the facts. But can we get rid of the commentary to make it neutral?----Seventy-one 01:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC) This section appears to be lifted directly from Shanahan's bio from denverbroncos.com (http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=357&contentID=415)Mg5v 18:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Haha, no we know its not neutral- and plagueristic. Though, the stats in it are good, we could just strip down the commentary do and the section will be fine.--Seventy-one 22:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, I think Nick Bond 02:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC) -Nice, its perfect now. Thanks.--Seventy-one 08:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

would somebody tell mike to please retire--Mikmik2953 (talk) 16:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

mention of the the word mike shanahan as a football term?

this may sound ridiculous but I think it would be noteworthy to include that the term mike shanahan is now being used to describe calling a timeout at just the right time so as to nullify an accurate kick (not merely iceing the kicker); credible sources can be found confirming this...--Tvwatcher (talk) 09:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2008 season historic?

The 2008 broncos were not the first team to lead wire to wire and lose a division, the minnesota vikings did it in 2003 (actually lost after time expired in week 17). Dbt (talk) 00:12, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an article - it's a fawning love-fest

Seventy-one (above) is right; the commentary needs to go. Aside from listing Shanahan's "accomplishment" of winning four playoff games in a single season three different ways (big deal, the guy won a SB with a WC team), blather about his being on an "exclusive...ultra-impressive" list has to go. There's no objectivity in this article; it doesn't detail Shanahan's downsides, such as his conflicts with Reeves and Davis and his failure to achieve any significant success at Denver in the post-Elway era. 67.171.215.0 (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting Problems

There are formatting problems with the box on the right so the dates don't properly lineup with his jobs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.202.86 (talk) 13:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Is it just me, or is a photo of the back of Shanahan's head worse than no photo at all? If I didn't know better, I would think that the other man in the photo was Mike Shanahan, seeing as it's the photo for his article. GuruGuru214 (talk) 09:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
