He was the greatest coach in the NFL when he was 6-0 in his first year at Denver.

At that point still had most of Shanahan's team. Especially on defense. Further, most opponent coach's hadn't figured him out at that point ... that quickly changed when they came to the conclusion McDaniels was really just another 'Johnny one note'. After that he was out coached bigtime.

I would suggest that drafting Tim Tebow was one of the good things he did.

He needs to be playing more.  Right now, he's only started 6 times and racked up a total of three yards and all three of those yards were passing yards.

Denver Post reporting: Running backs coach Eric Studesville will serve as interim coach for the final month.

I’m thinking the owner would have a hard time firing him “for cause” after that taping incident unless he had fired him right after the whole story surfaced.

Yeah, but he also has a TD in those 3 yards!

At least he didn't wait till the end of the season. Mid season firing for cause, and Bowlen certainly can make a strong case ... will stand up, if Bowlen walks away from McDaniels contract with a 'so sue me' attitude.

That clash with Cutler lead up to Cutler being traded to the Bears in exchange for the Bears quarterback Kyle Orton.

The Bears definitely got the better of that deal.

Cutlers poor past performance for the Bears was mostly due to the Bears pathetic offensive front line and offensive coordinator which resulted in Cutler running for his life almost every play.

Now that the bears have finally replaced most of that front line and finally got a decent coordinator Cutler is doing MUCH better as evidenced by his throwing for 4 TDs in the Bears victory against the Eagles and the Bears overall better record this year.

Meanwhile, Kyle Orton who was traded away from the Bears has been doing poorly and sitting most of the time. I THINK I read that he has either been traded away or is the subject of trade rumors.

You aren't paying attention ... fact is, for what it's worth, Kyle Orton is having a great year in terms of QB statistics ... he might even make the pro-bowl. Problem is QB statistics are pretty much worthless when you're playing for a pathetic NFL team.

Wasn't the clash with Cutler the result of McDaniels publicly attempting to woo Matt Cassel away from New England?

Orton is not a bad quarterback although I'd rather have Cutler, personality issues and all.

Is Steve Tensi available?

Exactly correct. McDaniels had made up his mind to bring in the new quarterback from the time he was hired.

He didn't care about Cutler who was doing very well for the team, he simply wanted his own man regardless of who the current quarterback was or how well he was doing.

His intention was to make Cassel the starting quarterback no matter what.

I fully understand Cutler's feelings in that he believed that he was going to the bench and the only way he would get to play was if Cassel was injured.

It wouldn't matter how good he was or how well he played, McDaniels had already made up his mind most likely before even being hired.
