Article About the Evolution of the Shanahan System and What Makes it Work

Interesting comments on the Shanahan offense that I found.


Fun fact, the above is actually about Mike Shanahan, referenced from a book about him written in 1999.

Interesting. Kyle gets all the credit, but it's clear that the real roots here are from Mike a long time ago and it's interesting that some of these ideas have become so wide spread that we don't realize that Mike was the source. I recall watching Shanahan's Broncos and that outside zone running attack was amazing, but I think I was too young and too inexperienced to see the details of how that offense worked. I guess I always assumed it was just because Elway and Terrell Davis were very good.

And, it's also interesting that Gary Kubiak was Mike's OC. So, hopefully a lot of this kind of thinking was passed down to Klint.
