John Fox in Broncos interview room

With those wine colored pants, John needs a top hat and a cane.

Please God, Let them hire Fox !!!!!!!!!!!!!! They'll be picking #1 overall for the length of his contract and will be just like the raiders .

we don't have a whole lot room to poke fun guys......Chiefs hired a golfer!!!

Please. Oh, please.

Indeed

He's a hell of a golfer though.

Brilliant. The Broncos are going to turn into Herm's Chiefs.

Heh... you know it's funny.

Panthers fans during the Fox era watched their team go 5-3 in the playoffs and advance to the Superbowl once since 2002.

Yes, Fox is 5-3 in the playoffs since 2002.

You have to go back to 1969 to tally up 5 playoff wins for the Chiefs. KC has just 3 playoff wins since 1970. Just sayin...

John Fox: Three winning seasons in 9 years.

Of course the Broncos haven't made the playoffs in five seasons so a guy who makes the playoffs once every three years should look like Vince Lombardi to you guys.

:LOL: Uh huh... that's exactly it. What is KC's trend again?

I don't know that Fox is the person I want, but you're tossing some stones from a glass house - look out.

Fox took over a team that was 1-15 the year before he came there and two years later he had that team in the Super Bowl.

Carolina is a cheap franchise and Fox was forced to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Nobody can call Denver a cheap franchise.

Fox is a respected guy and would be a good hire for the Broncos.

If he gets the job, the Broncos will contend sooner than they might if they hire someone else.

Eh, I guess it would be better than Perry Fewell, although it would be awesome to watch KnowMo spin that laughable hire.

Sadly, the dipshit is right.

This would be a good hire for Denver, IMO.

Nope. They will go as far as screwing with cap money to win.

One winning season in two years under our current head coach.

That's all that matters.

If you see something positive in a loser head coach like John Fox, more power to you.

It's been long rumored that Fox has had a problem with hookers and is an alcoholic, which is why the Panthers wanted to move away from him.

Out of all the candidates that Denver has hired so far I like the idea of hiring Fox the best. He has a lot more experience and has been around the league enough to be able to put together a solid staff.

And tomorrow if it's reported that they've moved away from Fox, you'll talk about his lousy record and how you didn't want him anyway.

Spin, you ****ing monkey, spin.

Dumbass. That expansion draft LOADED that team, and they changed the rules big time when the Texans came in because it gave the expansion teams a huge leg up. Jacksonville was also one of the most talented teams in the league because of it.

I agree, just two years ago I was wishing the Chiefs had Fox instead of Herm ****ing Edwards.

I just don't get all the disrespect for the guy at all. The team dumped all the good players this year, most importantly Julius Peppers.

This is wrong?

Talking smack is one thing, but Fox is a good coach. He took them to the Superbowl in his second season as head coach, which is more than Haley has done, so the reality is that all of us Chiefs fan's really can't knock him. I really would not want him in the division.

They should meet with Herm Edwards.

Then why would the Panthers release him/fire/not sign him if he is a "good" coach?

So true...

During 9 seasons he had sporadic results... it's really the same thing that TN should have done with Fisher a few years ago. I don't know enough about the Panthers' organization and how they spend $, etc - but, I do wonder how well he could do in Denver.

Who knows...

Shit.. Already he's Bowlens best bud. :thumb:

Sometimes a change just has to be made. My posts may make it seem as though I think he's a bad coach, but I don't. I just don't think he's all that good of a coach. His teams were stacked for along time. They were pre-season SB favorites a few times, and a lot of his teams under achieved. He just seems Meh to me, and his hire doesn't really frighten me, or make me happy. He's just another coach IMO.

Seriously? BB was fired in Cleveland, Dungy in Tampa, Shannahan in Denver, Billick in Baltimore. All of those guys won Superbowls. You have to be "good" just to get there.

So once they have a coach, will Elway actually let them have the coaches office?

Seriously...

Forrest Gregg

Sam Wyche

Bill Callahan

They'll either go 15-1 or 1-15.

But within a 3 year period they'd end up 15-1, rinse and repeat.
I don't like that idea.

I hear McDaniels is free though.

Does he get a free pimp coat if hired?...

Well, hell, he and Pat Bowlen can go on the drunken prowl together then.

So he'll fit right in.

It really doesn't matter who is running that team if they don't have a top notch personnel guy in there...

This is true. I mean, they will be paying three head coaches after all.

LMAO Very true... and again, I have no idea who the best candidate is at this point... Fox, Dennison, other? All I can do is hope that they're smart enough to make the right call. I don't think there's any question that those 2 guys I listed are fine candidates, but we'll see what happens.

And, Elway is new in the role, but to think he can't be a good judge of talent and how to build a team .. it's a bit early to throw that stone. Elway saw a lot during his time, several different ways to build a team. Arena is different than the NFL, but he was successful in that venture... so we'll see what he's able to do and how the new hierarchy works out.

Dude. Fox didn't inherit an "expansion" team. They were in the league for almost a decade before he took over the team.

As someone who's been following the Panthers since they drafted DeAngelo Williams, this is the best news I could hope to hear.

I don't know who would be best for them either, I was mainly just taking a jab at them with that and Knowmo teed that up pretty high.
I thought Daniels was going to be a great hire for the Broncos, so WTH do I know? He turned out to be better for us than Denver.

Yeah, I think it's great that guys like Claythan, KnowMo and others throw out their hot sports opinions on coaches... the guys likely never played a real contact sport and if it's not produced via the Internet or Twitter, they don't know about it.

We're all just a bunch of diehard fans for our teams hoping for the best and then the worst for others... so I just take all the commentary for what it is. Lots of "ideal candidates" have failed and vice versa.

THIS!!

but just think of all the parking lot sex that was had after all those losses.

What happened to the Rooney rule? Not that I give a shit. Just wondering.

Thanks or lettin us use your sweet Prius.


Signed: Dirty Mike and the boyz.

Are you suggesting they haven't met with the guidelines of the Rooney Rule?

Broncos coaching search may be about money

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 13, 2011, 12:03 PM EST
Broncos president Joe Ellis said weeks ago that the Broncos would find the best head coach possible, regardless of money.When a player says its not about the money, it’s usually about the money. An article in the Denver Post Thursday indicates that finances may be playing a big factor in the Broncos search.
“Several NFL executives” contacted by the Post expected the Broncos to pay their new coach a contract close to what Ron Rivera got in Carolina: $11.2 million over four years. That makes sense, because the Broncos are still paying Mike Shanahan a lot of money and Josh McDaniels got a settlement from the team. (Paying money to coaches hardly guarantees results, as Dan Snyder will tell you.)
Most of the Broncos head coaching interviews would easily be cheap to hire, with John Fox being the possible exception. Fox made $3 million-per-win in Carolina last year.
For whatever reason, the Broncos have had some difficulties getting folks to interview with them. Finances could be one factor. Mike Mularkey, Jim Harbaugh, and Gregg Williams all turned down interviews.
“The word on the street has not been positive about the changes in Denver’s front office,” Mike Lombardi of NFL.com wrote earlier in the week. “Having John Elway back is great for public relations, but the Broncos will need someone to help him learn on the job.”
The Broncos have been amazingly transparent about their coaching search, but didn’t mention Williams canceling his interview on their website. The team has spread the word they hope to name a head coach by the middle of next week.

Yeah, good hire for dinver if he gets the job. He'll get that D back into fighting form & establish a smashmouth identity on O.

But... unless he farms out a lot of the decision making in regards to his QB, WR's & overall passing game philosophy, he'll always come up just short... without Steve Smith his passing attack would've been high school caliber IMO.

He's Jeff Fisher without the hype.

Horseface running thing=LOL

Can't wait til Corn on the cob night.

Yep ... and there you go.

LMAO

This means that Mike McCoy is most likely staying in Denver since he was in Carolina with Fox two years ago. Don't know if I'm happy with that or not.... I guess it will be a good thing for Tebow having someone he is familiar with. Hopefully Fox keeps Ben McDaniels as well.

This makes me happy.

Boring.

When did you come back?

Also, I live in Boston now.

Heyo, it's been... I dunno, on and off for a couple of months.

hi5 on Boston. Mass is literally the most comfortable place I've ever been in my life. It's so awesome here.
