Title: Fox out in Denver ... who's their new coach going to be? Post by: CF DolFan on January 14, 2015, 10:14:37 am Interesting situation there if you ask me. Elway says he wants Manning to return but I don't see him blowing that thing up if Manning is sticking around one more year. I just don't see how having Manning in basically a rebuilding year will help you. Of course if they go with Adam Gase or Jack Del Rio then maybe things won't change very much.

Wouldn't be shocked to see him bring in some of his old buddies from Indy. Wouldn't be shocked to see Dungy come out of retirement for a year either if they pay him enough and talk him into it Title: Re: Fox out in Denver ... who's their new coach going to be? Post by: Brian Fein on January 14, 2015, 10:26:29 am I'm surprised by this situation. Denver was an AFC powerhouse, but they felt necessary to fire their coach? I don't understand what was going on behind the scenes here. Obviously neither side was pleased with the way things were going...

Denver was an AFC powerhouse, but they felt necessary to fire their coach? I don't understand what was going on behind the scenes here. Obviously neither side was pleased with the way things were going... Because the head coach was brain dead. Fox has a team loaded with talent but his in-game decisions were like he was coaching the Raiders or Jets a team with no talent. He wasn't aggressive, he punted at times nobody in their right mind would ever punt the ball, he was just too conservative with a team that has the talent to win it all. With an old Peyton Manning winning 12 games and losing in your first playoff game (a home playoff game) isn't good enough. With that roster nobody cares about winning a division or 12 regular season wins....meaningless. He was in a Super Bowl last year and this year he regressed with a BETTER team. He had to go! They aren't going to waste Peyton's final year or two with an idiot head coach Title: Re: Fox out in Denver ... who's their new coach going to be? Post by: Brian Fein on January 14, 2015, 10:35:42 am I guess I didn't see that but I didn't watch more than 3 or 4 Broncos' games this season. To me, I thought John Fox was well respected and highly regarded and doing a decent job.

To me, I thought John Fox was well respected and highly regarded and doing a decent job. He is going to be hired by Chicago today or tomorrow. Solely based on the fact he is tight with with powers that be in Chicago, not on the fact he is a good head coach. He is decent at building up a franchise or team and making them decent. He is not the guy who will ever hold a Lombardi Trophy over his head on a big stage in the month of February. Title: Re: Fox out in Denver ... who's their new coach going to be?

But everyone already knew that from his time in Carolina so I guess Elway thought other things would compensate for it. He had to go!

Post by: Phishfan on January 14, 2015, 12:20:24 pm If Denver is going to blow it up they need to blow it up completely. Manning is at the point of his career where he is no longer going to be the same guy at this stage of the season. Denver's run is over. The sooner they start to look at moving on from Manning the sooner they can really rebuild. The big problem is, Manning is their draw for a new coach. They would have a harder time finding one without him in the mix.

Post by: DenverFinFan on January 18, 2015, 04:57:13 pm Fox going indicates to me Manning will stay 1 more year with the excuse this year instead of defense, will be John Fox, I will say Its funny how fast the local media went from literally licking Manning for his gratification, to calling him old.
And Kubiak is coming back, him and Elway go way back and he was on the SB teams from the late 90's and nobody lives in the past like sports fans.
