John Fox is Denver's new head coach

[TheRealDeal]

I didn't support drafting the guy - I'm saying that Fox should've figured out what Clausen CAN do, whatever it is, and gone with that. Jimmy had success at Notre Dame against some solid competition, so he's obviously capable of doing something right. Not being a Clausen apologist here; I just have a hard time believinh that he is entirely inept.

Frankly, if Fox's system was so broken last year that no QB could have been successful then that should say everything that needs to be said.

Stop it

Jimmy couldn't beat Navy.

And I have no trouble believing he's not only inept, I also believe his arm's not strong enough, his decisions aren't smart enough, and his heart isn't big enough.

I haven't "trashed" him, I've simply stated observations that happen to be true.

If you want a list of who could replace him I don't have enough time to type one that long.

I think he'll sign a FA, resign Moore, and MAYBE draft someone in the late rounds and let them all compete. I think Moore wins the job. Moore/Vet/Clausen/Pike and possibly draft pick all in camp. 2 go home.

Not being condescending here... serious question:

Do YOU think Moore is a champion caliber QB?

[Kurb]

Wonder how many picks Fox would give us for Nick Hayden?

[Chaos]

I'd rather be an asshole than the douche bag that he is.

I just had to quote this.

Carry on...

if only we still had Jake Delhomme, damn you Hurney. Think of the trade potential!

[CosmoGirl]

you think thats what he did? or did he take the only job offered to him?

FTFY.

It was the only one that I know of that he even interviewed for.

Obviously depends what team he has around him. He's shown he can be damn good with a decent team and pretty bad with a bad team.

I do think he can win a championship with the right supporting cast.

Blind Donkey fans... They think they got a steal of the season. :nopity:

Enjoy what I call "Limp Dick Footbal".

Jimmy Clausen made it worth running the ball every time we did. Even if they knew it was coming.

[rodeo]

Wow. Heard the broncos were looking to get a coach for cheap. Wonder for how much.

couldn't be cheap. after all the media says he's only gone from here because JR was too cheap.

Those things are definitely possible. My point is that when it became obvious that he was sucking in that system, there was no effort made to evolve. Jimmy very well could have been (and may be) just as terrible with different philosophy and playcalling, but a good coach at least makes the attempt.

Clausen aside, how many other times have we the fans observed Fox's inability to adjust? It's not an isolated thing, and it's not a sign of a good coach.

Agree, strongly.
