No. He is under contract and is long as he is under contract he will be paid but he cannot work for someone else. Usually what happens is when someone gets an offer from someone else, they will approach the contract holder to negotiate a settlement or buyout. Say Shannahan gets an offer of 5 years to coach a team for $6 million a year after this next year. The Broncos may just settle for no further payments...Shanny is out $2 million net on the Front End but makes it up on the back end. See link for typical contract talk. Or they could just pay him $2 Million.

Typical contract language for NFL coaches.

Hey, Mike. Does ANY contract with another NFL team negate the Broncos' obligation to Mike Shanahan? Thanks!
-- Brad C., Anchorage, Alaska Brad - It's more appropriate to use the word "offset" than "negate." Bowlen essentially owes Shanahan $7 million for each of the next three years. Let's say, Shanahan is hired by the Cleveland Browns, who give him a $4 million-a-year contract. In this situation, Bowlen would still have to pay Shanahan the difference, or $3 million a year. Better believe Bowlen's preference is for Shanahan to be coaching in 2009.

Mike Shanahan is free to talk to any team, college or pro. The exclusivity clause is no longer in effect once he gets fired, but yeah, they still have to pay him. Depending on the contract, the amount he gets paid from his new team would be subtracted from what the broncos owe him.
