Sounds like he wants the Broncos' gig.

Passing game philosophy:
http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/10/06/kyle-shanahan-nfl-coaching-carousel-list-notebook
"But coaches need to adjust their system. It changes game-to-game, year-to-year. You see New England, if it's [Tom] Brady, they're not running [the quarterback] keeper, but you have the other two running bootlegs. You have to match what your guys do, and make it work for them. That's how you give everyone the best chance."
.....
"Then I got to Washington. Different quarterbacks, different personnel, I had to do it different with Donovan [McNabb] and Rex [Grossman], and completely different with Robert [Griffin]. And I learned you have to find different ways to succeed. In Cleveland I had to adjust. In Atlanta we're running different stuff."

Run game philosophy:

"We believe in the outside zone scheme," Shanahan said during his intro news conference Tuesday. "We are going to do a lot of things but we are going to major in using the outside zone. It's what I used in Houston. It's what I did in Cleveland. It's what I did in Washington. It's something I believe in very strongly."

Self assessment:

"I feel like when you're comfortable with someone, you can be yourself," Shanahan said. "I'm a very fiery guy. I think Matt (Ryan) is, too. I argue with my close friends, my parents, and my wife probably more than anyone on this planet because we all genuinely love each other and we're tight. We know who each other are.
"I want the same thing with players. If a player thinks I'm messed up, I would love for him to tell me. He doesn't have to do it on the field in front of you guys or anything, but I'd love for (the player) to come up to my office and have a talk. That's never been an issue with Matt. Matt and I have a real good relationship. We're open about everything. When you do, you can have those tough conversations. When you're not close with someone, that's usually when you get a lot of people aren't genuine around each other when you're not close."
