It's a bunch of nonsense. In many cases, it's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately sort of attitude.
I would like Mike to coach out his career here. What's left on his contract or not left on his contract is not the issue. I think Mike is at the top of the coaching ladder and I think he'll stay there. So there's no reason for me to be thinking about changing head coaches. That thought never crosses my mind, and I don't think it ever will.
I was very interested in seeing that change take place. Over the last 30-odd years that we've had Monday Night Football , the culture has changed in America. Monday night is not the same kind of night that it was in the '70s and '80s. People aren't at home. Sunday night is really when you find most people at home.
I was here the last time around with the Coliseum, so I'm not real optimistic about the Los Angeles Coliseum.
I'm holding my breath here. I think we've just got to take our time and make sure everybody's opinions are heard so you don't get into a contentious situation.
We haven't had the success we had hoped to achieve. Josh McDaniels is the head coach of the Broncos and you always strive for stability at that position. However, with five games left in the 2010 season, we will continue to monitor the progress of the team and evaluate what's in the best interest of this franchise.
I always wondered if it was going to fall down. I could feel it in my box. It felt like the stadium was moving about six inches either way. You could just feel it swaying.
Nobody complained anymore. Now, everyone's knocking those uniforms off.
So I'm not sure what we'll do in Orlando, but I know now we can get down to some other things.
We're not just going to jump out there because somebody says we should.
It's been written about here, on the national level, talked about on ESPN and all the rest of it. It's taken on a life of it's own. I'm not saying we're not interested in T.O., but I think the level of interest attributed to us is way beyond where we are.
It's like moving into a new neighborhood. It takes you a while to get comfortable. But I think fans are getting used to it.
We're playing on the road, in Kansas City, on a Thursday. Playing Pittsburgh on the opening Thursday would be a great game, but we don't need two of them.
We know we're going to play them in Pittsburgh this season, just not that first week.
