Shanahan Breaks His Silence

REGGIE RIVERS
DENVER (CBS4) ― Former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan hasn't spoken to anyone in the Denver media since his farewell press conference in January, so we haven't had the opportunity to hear what Shanahan has thought about the turmoil in the Broncos organization this off-season.

Although Josh McDaniels replaced him, NFL coaching is a tight fraternity, so I wondered if Shanahan was rooting for McDaniels to succeed.

"I don't know if rooting … I don't know if you go that far," Shanahan said. "There's so many things that happen in sports. The head coach has to go to go with his gut. He's got to make some tough decisions. That's the nature of this game."

Among McDaniels' tough decisions was trading Jay Cutler to Chicago, leaving the Broncos with question marks at quarterback.

"I'm a big Jay Cutler fan," Shanahan said. "I'm a big Chris Simms fan, and I've heard a lot of great things about Kyle Orton as well. Josh has added a bunch of good pieces to the puzzle. Hopefully they can go out and get it done."

Shanahan hopes that he'll have the opportunity to "get it done" for some other team in 2010.

"Will work for food. That's my motto," Shanahan said. "I want to coach again. I'm not sure what opportunities are going to be open next year or the year after that. I'm just trying to stay on top of my game. I still want to get back into football and do the things I've been doing throughout my career."
