I'm curious to see who the fans would prefer out of these two.
I don't see why anyone would want Shanahan. He had two good years with Elway but sucked donkey balls after that.
He couldn't do anything with RGIII and only made the playoffs once.
Holmgren succeeded with TWO different franchises and TWO different QB's. He should have won against Pittsburgh if the game wasn't
rigged by the officials. He's a QB guru and an offensive genius.
Holmgren, hands down!

Why not both? Shanny HC Holmsy OC.

I've always liked Holmgren, but as far as coaching is concerned, Shanahan is a close second IMO.

Might as well have Chip as the quarterback coach as well. Nobody else seems to be knocking on his door.

If Shanahan bring Kyle with him he would be my pick. If not I would get Holgrem.

Shanahan if it were my choice. He's not quite as old, and isn't quite as um, "portly" as Holmgren.
I worry if Holmgren's body can stand up to the coaching grind.

Both poor options but Shanahan is clearly the better option

Feel like people are living in the past. I don't want either. Who do I want well both guys are no longer avaliable so maybe they should throw a ton of cash at Myer or Saban

I think it would be okay if these old school coaches are willing to change and try new things. I think Shannahans old school wsys caught up to him in Washington.
