Al Davis Mike Shanahan

According to owner Al Davis, the two Denver Broncos' Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 1998 should have asterisks placed beside them. He has previously been critical of the way the Broncos and San Francisco 49ers manipulated the 6 Sanchez Purple AFL50th jersey
salary cap during their championship runs in the 90's.There is still lingering resentment over the quick dismissal Davis gave Shanahan early in the 1989 season after only 20 games at the helm of the Raiders. Aside from the two Super Bowl wins, nothing has given Shanahan more pleasure in his NFL coaching career than beating his former boss, and he's done it plenty of late. He has compiled a 16-5 record all-time against Oakland, including another season sweep in 2005.Shanahan has 114 wins, compared to just 62 losses since accepting the head coaching job in Denver, though he will be shooting for his first playoff win since John Elway retired when his Broncos meet the New England Patriots this weekend. In his tele-conference last week, Davis added that Shanahan was a young guy that nobody knew much about, and after interviewing many people in 1988, he unfortunately hired him. Davis said after nearly a year and a half, the players revolted against Shanahan, so he had to let him go. Davis ended 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey

Shell has been mentioned as a possible candidate to replace recently fired coach Norv Turner. Shanahan claims that Davis still owes him money from his dismissal, and Davis doesn't plan to pay. The sweetest "payback" for the Denver coach has come in the form of defeating the on a regular basis.
