Michael Edward Shanahan is a former American football coach, best known as the head coach of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League from 1995 to 2008. During his 14 seasons with the Broncos, he led the team to consecutive Super Bowl victories in XXXII and XXXIII, including the franchise's first NFL title in the former, his head coaching career spanned a total of 20 seasons and included stints with the Los Angeles Raiders and Washington Redskins. He is the father of San Francisco 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan played high school football at East Leyden High School, Franklin Park, where he played wishbone quarterback for legendary Eagles coach Jack Leese's 1968 and 1969 teams. Shanahan held the single-game rushing record of 260 yards on 15 carries until it was broken in 1976 by Dennis Cascio, he graduated from high school in 1970. He was a quarterback at Eastern Illinois University. In 1972, a piercingly hard hit on the practice field ruptured one of his kidneys, which caused his heart to stop for thirty seconds and nearly killed him.
A priest was summoned to administer the last rites to a devout Roman Catholic. With his playing career abruptly ended, Shanahan entered coaching. After graduation, he served as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University and the University of Oklahoma, he returned to his alma mater as offensive coordinator and helped his school win the Division II football championship. Shanahan worked as the offensive coordinator for the University of Minnesota for a single season, before accepting the same position at the University of Florida under head coach Charley Pell in 1980. Shanahan stayed with the Gators through 1983. Shanahan first served as a receivers coach and offensive coordinator for the Broncos under Dan Reeves from 1984-87, it was his skill as an offensive mind that garnered Shanahan the attention of maverick Los Angeles Raiders owner Al Davis. After Shanahan and the Raiders parted ways four games into the 1989 season, Shanahan returned to the Broncos as quarterbacks coach on October 16, 1989.
He was fired a couple years by Reeves after finding himself in the middle of a growing feud between Reeves and quarterback John Elway. Shanahan was hired by the Raiders in 1988 to replace longtime Raiders coach Tom Flores, he was the Raiders' first head coach hired from outside the organization since Davis himself 23 years earlier. Shanahan and the micromanaging Davis clashed immediately, this was only exacerbated after the Raiders finished a disappointing 7–9, losing four of their last five games. Tensions increased towards the end of the season when wide receivers coach and Shanahan loyalist Nick Nicolau got into a heated argument with assistant coach Art Shell in which Nicolau accused Shell of only having a job by virtue of his friendship with Davis; when Shell went to Davis to ask if this was true, Davis' response was to fire Nicolau. Shanahan responded by firing running backs coach Joe Scannella and offensive coordinator Tom Walsh, but Davis ordered them both back to work. At the end of the season, Shanahan fired defensive assistants Charlie Sumner.
An enraged Davis re-hired Brown to a different position in the organization. When the Raiders began 1 -- 3 in 1989, Shanahan himself was replaced by Shell. Shanahan's final Raiders record was 8–12 in less than two seasons, going 2–7 after a 6–5 start. In 1992, Shanahan was hired as offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers under Head Coach George Seifert, capping his rise with a victory in Super Bowl XXIX after the 1994 season, his years under Seifert placed him in the Bill Walsh coaching tree. In 1994 while coaching for the 49ers, Shanahan added to the ongoing feud between him and Raiders owner Al Davis when he had QB Elvis Grbac throw a football at Davis' head, which missed by a few inches as Davis was able to dodge it just in time, afterwards Davis responded with an obscene gesture. Shanahan's success with the 49ers earned him a head coaching spot once more, this time back in Denver with the Broncos beginning in 1995, he led the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl championships in the 1997 and 1998 seasons, during which time the Broncos set a then-record for victories in two seasons.
Between 1996–1998, the Broncos set the NFL record for victories by going 46–10 over a three-year span. The 1998 Broncos won their first 13 games on their way to a 14–2 mark. Shanahan, taking his cue from West Coast offense guru Bill Walsh, was well known for scripting the first 15 offensive plays of the game, helped the 1998 Broncos set an NFL record for first quarter points scored in a season. In 2005, he passed Dan Reeves as the winningest coach in franchise history. Shanahan is known for a run-heavy variation of the West Coast offense he coached in San Francisco, he has found unheralded running backs from rounds of the annual NFL Draft and turned them into league-leading rushers behind small-but-powerful offensive lines. Examples of this phenomenon are Terrell Davis, Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary, Clinton Portis, Reuben Droughns and Tatum Bell, all of whom have had at least one 1,000-yard season in a Denver uniform during Shanahan's tenure. In 1999, with the assistance of writer Adam Schefter, Shanahan penned Think Like a Champion, a motivational book about leadership.
In 2006, he cooperated with Stefan Fatsis's endeavor to spend a year as a Broncos place-kicker, much of the resulting book A Few Seconds of Panic covers Shanahan's coaching from the player's point of view. After Elway's retirement and Davi
