Don’t be surprised if the Broncos go cheap for their next head coach. Owner Pat Bowlen still is paying Mike Shanahan, and unless he gets out of paying Josh McDaniels by saying he fired him for “cause,†he’ll be paying him as well. Word is Bowlen’s bank account isn’t quite what it once was. One NFL executive I spoke with last week speculates there won’t be many coaching changes in the offseason because of CBA uncertainty. He believes coaches like Jeff Fisher, Marvin Lewis, Les Frazier, Jason Garrett and Gary Kubiak may be retained in part because a new coaching staff may not have the necessary time to install new systems if a new CBA is not agreed upon until the summer.

I think that a new CBA will be in place, but it's going to come down to the wire. I agree that Leslie Frazier and Jason Garret will be retained by the Vikings and Cowboys, respectively. Kubiak is iffy especially if the Texans have a chance to hire Jeff Fisher. I think that Fisher and Lewis both want out.
