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 was surprised that the 49ers didn't find a way to keep him around after they ditched Harbaugh. He's a great DC. Time will tell if he can transition to a good HC. Some do....some don't. Crennel had a 4-15 record as HC. Here's hoping similar HC success to Mr. Fangio.

If it works out, that sucks. I was totally wrong about Arians a few years ago. But I'm skeptical of a coach this old, this experienced, with this much a track record of really really good success that never sniffed a HC offer and not for lack of trying. Because most of them never became head coaches for a reason. And even now, he gets a job only if he agrees to be neutered on offense.
He may install a nasty defense and he's got a lot of talent to work with. That's scary. But it could end up being a bust too. He's done something to make GMs nervous in the past. |

Probably a solid hire. Should help them with the annual competition for second place in AFC West.

Was hoping they'd hire Munchak. Whatever, Fangio isn't winning shit w/o a QB and he has no experience developing one either. They'll be mediocre for a few seasons and then on to the next one.
