Looks like Mike Shanahan's agent decided to ask for some favors...
Woody Paige: Mike Shanahan could be back with Broncos if not for Joe Ellis, sources say
According to Paige, John Elway and Mike Shanahan met in secret last year and "seriously discussed" a deal that would put Shanahan back as the team's head coach. Vance Joseph, the Broncos' current coach, had gone 5–11 during his first season on the job. Elway was reportedly ready to replace Joseph with Shanahan, who led the Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl wins in 1997 and 1998, before Broncos CEO Joe Ellis refused to agree to fire Joseph and hire Shanahan.
Charley Walters: Could Mike Shanahan get best out of Kirk Cousins?
If the Minnesota Vikings don’t make the playoffs, and if they decide to make a head coaching change, Mike Shanahan would seem a likely choice.
If you’re Zygi Wilf and you make a coaching change, you’re probably going to pick a guy who gives you the best chance to win next year, and that should be a guy who well knows what Kirk Cousins’ strengths and weaknesses are to make him better.
