Mike Shanahan Says He 'Was Close' to Returning as Broncos HC Before 2018 Season

Oh, what could have been.

On Saturday, Mike Shanahan told ESPN'sJeff Legwold that he nearly returned to the Denver Broncos as head coach ahead of the 2018 NFL season:

"I was close, I was close. One thing that has to happen is you all have to be on the same page. One thing you've got to make sure of when you are a head football coach that the owner, the [general manager], the quarterback are all on the same page. And if it doesn't happen the chances of you winning the Super Bowl aren't very good.
