I kinda like the "back to the future" nature of the Niners hiring a Stanford coach to be their guy though.

Broncos have Orton under contract still (says he wants to start if he's in Denver still), theres nothing that says Harbaugh has to play Tebow. Fans can shut it frankly when it comes to their demands of QBs in Denver.

If they really wanted to, the team could trade down from the 2nd overall for picks instead of using Orton for draft picks.

Gruden was fired in January of 09 and Morris was hired immediately after so that was a Morris/Mark Domenik pick.

Good point, I'm sure the fans will give the Broncos a chance in whatever they plan to do simply because Elway is around. It's essentially a honeymoon phase right now so I hope they make the best of it.

He was drafted in '09. Gruden was long gone by then.

A lot of Rams fans complained about offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur all year and wanted him to get fired. Well, maybe he’ll leave town for a promotion instead. The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that Shurmur will interview with Mike Holmgren for the head coaching position in Cleveland. (The Rams’ season-ending offensive explosion must have clinched the opportunity.) Shurmur cut his teeth under Andy Reid in Philadelphia, so he’s from the same coaching tree as Holmgren. The Browns are also expected to interview Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, and possibly Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. Shurmur would appear to be a real long shot for the job, but that’s also what we thought about Mike McCarthy in Green Bay and various other surprising coaching hires over the years.
