Trey Wingo: Breaking news. Denver Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan has abrubtly resigned in an apparent power struggle with owner Pat Bowlen. Shanahan who has led the franchise to 2 Super Bowl chaampionships released a statement a short time ago. "I regret that Pat and myself did not see eye to eye on the future of the Broncos, but in the best interest of the team I have tendered my resignation this afternoon. I will always be grateful to Pat for the opportunity he afforded me in leading this team & I will always cherish my time spent in Denver." Mark (Schlereth) you played for Shanahan, what do you believe ultimately went wrong?

Mark Schlereth: I believe the crack in the relationship between Mike & Pat began when Pat approached Mike about giving up his position as the teams general manager. The implication in Mike's mind was that he wasn't a great evaluator of talent, but in Pat's defense i believe the results back Pat up. Denver's roster is not stacked with talent.

Trey: In a stunning development the Broncos have just released a statement that they have hired Jason Griffin a high school assistant football coach from Jacksonville, Florida. Griffin is considered to be a rising star, but to turn your franchise over to a 28 year-old who has never been a head coach screams potential disaster. We will keep an eye on the situation.
