N/S Vic Fangio Could Be Out as Denver Broncos Head Coach (1 Viewer)

Yea Elway should be the one on the hot seat!

Exactly!

Fangio never should have been hired as a HC in the first place, but firing him at this specific juncture doesn't accomplish anything positive and probably further tarnishes Elways's image as a GM a bit.

Why shouldn't he have been hired?

Elway keeps getting the QB thing wrong yet he change coaches as much as he changes his Drawz. Sometimes the answer to your problem is only a mirror away.

If Dennis Allen leaves, I want Ryan Nielsen to be the DC in New Orleans. Not Fangio. Give new blood the chance. Ask Fangio if he is interested as a consultant. Low pressure job in his old age.

I was listening to Mike D on WWL today. He said we are going to lose Nielsen because he's going to be a HC very soon.

Sorry I don't get it.

I'm not buying that. We may lose him to another team as a DC but his experience in this league is minimal. Add to that the fact that OCs are the more desirable position to advance and I just don't see RN as an HC anytime soon.

We're more likely to see Campbell leave to be an HC or Allen if someone does want a defensive mind as their HC.

It's been 5 years since Manning ....... there are plenty of teams out there that go decades trying to find their guy.

To casually say "Elway keeps getting the QB thing wrong" makes it sound as if it's easy to get it right.

In like 55 years, how many successful quarterbacks have been drafted by the Saints? It's pretty much only Archie Manning, right? Marc Bulger did well, but with another team.

Before getting QBs first, you have to get somebody who can make their life easy. Elway's choices do not build their O-lines. His choices don't make sense. If he is down to his last chance, Eric Bieniemy would be the best. But I doubt Andy advises Eric to leave for Denver.

Maybe he should change his drawers more and his qbs/ coaches less.

The saints have had three starting qbs who were pretty good. Manning, Hebert, and Brees. The years they have started comprises 31 years. Thats approximately 60%. Some of the others had potential and played better elsewhere, but had poor coaching , poor surrouinding talent, and bad front office management particularly in the Meacom days.

its like chasing your money at a casino....if you are focused only on winning your money back, you end up walking out down way more than you planned for.

Chasing a franchise QB means you are focused only on finding that one player when there are 21 other players that contribute to your success.

Bigger Question, why isnt Elway under fire to be replaced?

Probably has to do with the ownership situation. I don't know the details other than the team is owned by the estate of Pat Bowlen. There's probably no one there to hold Elway accountable. They had said over the weekend that the ownership situation had a lot to do with the Broncos not being able to get the game postponed.

Bad drafting is the Broncos problem
