OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMFG OMFG!

NFLs a copycat league, right? I wonder if Denver sees Dallas and Minn doing well with replacement coaches so theyre gonna try to see if they can have the same success.

To bad Denver doesn't have an 'up and coming head coach' as a coordinator.

never should have traded Hillis

Or Cutler, or Marshall..

By the way I can definitely see this job grabbing Jon Gruden's interest. He'd be back in the AFC West, and would have Tim Tebow at his disposal (he's a HUGE Tebow fan).

We got a Video Specialist role open in New England if he wants it.

So does he get another shot as an NFL offensive coordinator or do you see him going the college route? Personally I think he'd make a better college coach. It's too hard for him to command respect from professional athletes when he's in his young 30s in my opinion.

If he stays in the pros, what are the odds he ends up in KC with the rest of the New England coaching staff?

Even the Tight End coulda been decent for them....he fucked up, big time.

Another one from the Beli-cheat tree that bites the dust. To be fair to him though, he was just a kid with a crew cut hair cut, never shoulda been there to begin with.

If he wants to be a Head Coach he'd probably have to go to college.. He'll probably be a hot commodity for an OC job though.

Gruden is a huge fan of every single player in the NFL, particularly ones on teams with potential head coaching vacancies

Yup, this is the first name that came up in my head. Hopefully we salvage what we have to work with and hire someone who wants to continue to develop Tim Tebow.

LOL so awesome.

Guy reminds me so much of Lane Kiffin that is creepy.

Does the owner care about money? I ask because Shanny, McDaniels, and the new coach will be on the books next year...

He's loved Tebow for a long time.. I think his Tebow love goes back to before ESPN even hired him actually.

I believe Bowlen is one of the richer owners in the league, note all of the ridiculous contracts Shanahan gave to free agents.

other than seeing what we see from national media, idk much about the broncos. But i think firing josh was a huge mistake. he made a mistake with the hillis trade, but he obviously didnt feel hillis was the answer and thought his RB was gonna be good this year. NOBODY could have guessed that the #3 guy at Arkansas would be what he turned out to be for cleveland....so imo, he gets a pass on that.

the other moves he made and what he is trying to do is all about building the belechick style of TEAM. just like Mangini is doing in cleveland. The difference being that what mangini is doing is showing very good results (despite the record)

it takes time to get rid of the trash and add the guys u need. 1.5 years is not gonna make a difference and is the broncos owner didnt want to wait for it to happen, then its his own fault he hired mcdanials.

there is talk of mangini being fired this year for dumping all the talent and not winning....but the fact is that he is getting bad players to play as part of the team concept. its the same concept that made belechick a legend....and the same concept that took him a few years to make.

Remember, he got lucky with brady when bledsoe went down. Prior to that he went into that year on the hot seat himself. imagine the pats if they had denvers patient level
