ESPN.com: Denver Broncos fire Mike Shanahan after season falls apart

The ink is hardly dry on Singletary's rushed contract for head coach when what happens? The offensive coordinator on the Niner's last Super Bowl championship team is now available.

Broncos' owner Pat Bowlen owns Shanahan something like $20 million on the three years remaining on his contract; so he would come dirt cheap to whomever hires him. That would obviously appeal to the Yorks.

But of course it doesn't matter since the Yorks rushed into hiring Singletary on a permanent basis.

Would Shanahan come to the Niners again? Probably not. But the point is that here IS someone who the Niners would clearly have seriously considered had their own head coaching position been open. And it would have been open had they just been smart and waited. Singletary certainly would still be available to head coach this week and next (and the next week) had the Niners not rushed to ink him.

Dipshits.
