Is John Elway waiting in wings?  With the recent firing of the Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan, is John Elway in the future of the team he took to two NFL championships?

The Hall of Famer and lifelong Denver Bronco has been mentioned as part of a new management team to bring the Denver Broncos back into contention.  Even fired coach, Mike Shanahan, believes that bringing back Elway would be a great move.

But is he interested?

Considering that Elway is co-owner of the Arena Football League’s Colorado Rush with Broncos owner Pat Bowden, the chances are good.  And I’m sure the two have spoken about it recently. 

As much as John Elway is a competitor, the opportunity of coming back to “big leagues”, to the team he led twice to NFL championships, much be enticing.

Elway is Mr. Colorado! He recently sold several car dealerships and his name is on a Steak House chain in the Denver area. He is also a shareholder in the Colorado-based Profesional Bull Riders Inc. and has teamed up with a store to produce his own line of signature furniture.

If Elway returns to the Broncos, it will not be as coach, but may he may be ripe for taking over as executive vice president of football operations – a role just vacated by the firing of Shanahan. 

Expect to hear more about this very soon.  Denver needs a coach and Elway is the guy to pick to right one!
