As long as there’s instability at ownership, nobody will fire Elway because I don’t think anybody there actually has the power to hire a replacement either

Yeah, there's that ruling council, but they all seem to be embroiled in the ownership debate. There's nobody minding the store.
I also figure that if you're some no-name ruling council person, there's a big self-sacrifice involved in firing Elway. I think a lot of Broncos fans have figured out that he's a failure, but there'll always be a large number who look at him like Pepe Le Pew looked at that female cat. The person who fires Elway will be vilified by half of Broncos fans who can't rationally see the problem, and hated by the other half because it proved the emperor had no clothes.
It's going to take one of those Bowlen chicks winning the war, figuring out how football works, and then realizing that the egotistic old sot telling 1988-era stories in the big office is the reason. That's going to take a while.
