Shanahan was a hell of a good coach, but very old school. No nonsense type. He and Elway were not friends, but they were both taskmasters and alpha types who knew how to win. One of Shanny's worst failings was that he tended to rely too heavily on his star without making good support decisions. When he was coaching Elway he put garbage receivers and Running backs in with Elway knowing Elway was good enough to win with crap around him. But that weakness always showed up against really good teams and that's why Elway got blown out by guys like Doug fucking Williams and the Redskins. Once Shanny was gone they built up a running game with Terrell Davis, three a couple decent blockers and receivers in there, and Elway started bringing home Lombardi trophies.
So the answer is, Shanny was a very good but not fantastic coach, who has a Stuff neck in dealing with divas. Bad fit for RG3.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
