Broncos fire coach Shanahan (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Mike Shanahan has been fired as Denver Broncos coach after the team lost a three-game lead with three games to go in the AFC West. Shanahan, 56, coached the Broncos since 1995, the second-longest tenure for a coach with one NFL team behind Tennessee's Jeff Fisher. He coached the Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999 and compiled a record of 146-89 with the team.
