Broncos hire Vic Fangio as head coach
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...as-head-coach/
Apologies folks, looks like our crack news team got this in the donk megathread. Well, maybe this is worthy of it's own thread? The Broncos have their new head coach, and the Bears need a new defensive coordinator. Vic Fangio has been hired as the Broncos’ next head coach, ESPN reports. Fangio has been the Bears’ defensive coordinator for the last four seasons and was the 49ers’ defensive coordinator for four seasons before that. He’s previously been a defensive coordinator with the Panthers, Colts and Texans. He has a good reputation as a defensive coach. There was some talk, however, that he might not be a strong candidate for a head coach, as he hasn’t been one before and, at age 60, he could have faced some age discrimination in a league where younger head coaches seem to be all the rage. Fangio beat out Mike Munchak for the top job in Denver. Now he’ll take over a Broncos team that has had back-to-back disappointing seasons. And the Bears will hope they can find a coordinator who can be as effective in Chicago as Fangio was. |

I think Elway has exactly what he wants. Kubiak will run the offense and basically report to Elway while Fangio will run the rest of the team.

Like there are so many HC options that check all the boxes while being a young offensive minded coach.
Elway was probably smart here, at least in his own mind, in that he gets to keep an offensive coach that he believes in and gets a very good defensive mind that can run the day to day stuff.

So this is Elway's fourth head coach hire right? Carl has 4 in 20 years. ElFraud has done it in what 7-8 years?

That’s why it’s obvious that Elway got what he wanted. |

Who was the hc that only lasted a year with 49ers after Harbaugh? Thought it was Fangio?

Perfect for Elway.
I would bet Kubes has as much if not more power as the hc by title? This has Elway keeping his guy entrenched with the team and all the stuff that bore down on Kubes and made him a short timer will be run through Fangio. Keeping Kubiak fresh? Lol,yeah right.

Did Elway at least pronounce Fangio's name correctly at the press conference?

I'm all good with the Fangio hire because Denver will continue to have a good defense which only sharpens PM2 even more and Denver will continue to suck offensively. |
