OT: Black Friday - Coaching and GM Changes

[Wheels]

And what was the Donk's record?

Shades of Schotts getting dumped.

There are a lot of comparables. Glad it's them going through this.

2015 just got off to a great start for bolts fans for sure. :lol:

Bronco fans seem ecstatic about this, but I am wondering if this may just blow up in their faces. Manning looks pretty done, but they have no QB behind him and if you look around the league, half the teams don't have legitimate starting QBs. They do have cap space and can get more if Manning retires, but they also have a ton of free agents they could lose. Who knows how an entirely new coaching staff will work out. Be careful what you wish for...

If Manning is back for one more year and has time to heal up, he'll still make Denver competitive but he's not going to be able to last the season and carry a team like he has in the past. If Manning is gone, I think they're in trouble. Like you said, they have no QB and while their drafts haven't been bad, they've just been okay. The real strength of their team has been signing free agents and they're not going to have that signing power like they had with Manning there. Possibly a completely new staff and now maybe those free agents might want to see what else is out there. That's going to be a true rebuild.

Fox, Elway split was a long time coming

Like 49ers G.M. Trent Baalke and former head coach Jim Harbaugh, Broncos G.M. John Elway and coach John Fox weren’t getting along. Unlike Baalke and Harbaugh, Elway and Fox kept the dysfunction under wraps until very recently.

“This is not just something that happened because they lost in the playoffs,” Jay Glazer said Monday night on FOX Sports One regarding the divorce in Denver. “This is actually a situation that has been going on for quite some time and I said yesterday on FOX NFL Sunday, ‘There are teams that are looking at the Denver Broncos, because if they lose, John Fox might become available.’ The reason I said that is because I already knew that there was a chance that John Fox was going to come available, just because the working relationship there between he and John Elway, it wasn’t the greatest working relationship. With John Elway and John Fox, it started off great, but then it started not working out.

“John Elway looked at this season as, ‘This is all or nothing, with what we spent, you’ve got to go win us a Super Bowl.’ And the relationship between Elway, not just with Fox, but with the entire coaching staff, they both needed a split from each other.”

So what’s next for Fox?

“I think he and the Chicago Bears are the best fit,” Glazer said. “I think they are a great fit because you have an opportunity where you’ve got a coach in there – if they decide not to go with Jay Cutler – John Fox has already been in [an unsettled quarterback situation] in Carolina, where he had Rodney Peete, Vinny Testaverde, guys like that and they figured it out.”

It’s unclear what’s next for the Broncos. But the end result is no Super Bowl win through three seasons with Peyton Manning.

Fox turned down the Jest for an interview. Probably has a real job lined up.

Chicago Bears...

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

He spent his cap like a fan! Didn't win it all and now he is fucked! He will be canned in two years or less!

I figured Horseteeth would have more horse sense than that.
