John Fox is Denver's new head coach

[mav1234]

The single thing that has me hopeful that we will see some good improvement from Jimmy Clausen is that he managed to really come back strong in college as well after a disappointing first season. I'm not putting much stock in it though.

[Punisher]

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.

Moore wasn't given a fair shot this year. You have to give a guy at least 4 games before you pull him. Yet, he was light years better than Clausen.

[TheRealDeal]

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.

How many times has a coach been force fed a QB he didn't want then had to play him then decided to change his whole offensively philosophy for said player?

That's a little much don't you think?

Just saw this quote from John Elway in the story from the Denver Post:

John has coached great defenses, turned teams around and been to Super Bowls."

Uh, you might want to re-read that resume, Mr. Elway.

[CosmoGirl]

Broncos fans act as if he's a three time Super bowl winning coach.

Well, Elway did tweet that Fox had been to Superbowls so maybe he's confused.

[TheRealDeal]

He might have been to some that he didn't coach in, you never know.

[mav1234]

...come on guys. Super Bowl XXXV anyone?

he's been to two of 'em.

Ahh, good catch. Not as a HC which is how I was reading, but you're right.

[mav1234]

Fox was a lot of things, but Elway's characterization is true... of the first few years he was here anyway.

[TheRealDeal]

Moore wasn't given a fair shot this year. You have to give a guy at least 4 games before you pull him. Yet, he was light years better than Clausen.

Yeah, when the coach pulls the QB down a score in a winnable game, it screams that it wasn't his decision and it could have been the FO trying to keep the rowdy crowd happy.

Oh well, if he's given a shot to compete I think he easily wins the job against Clausen and some other FA but who knows if he'll get that shot.

[Chaos]

I'm convinced that John Fox will mesh perfectly in the Denver pro sports scene. Here's the proof.

This is a quote from another Denver coach, George Karl, regarding the possible Carmelo trade. I swear I can't make this poo up...

"I think the chances of this team being somewhat what it is, is probably just as much as the possibility of it not being (what it is),"

Pure gold!

This front office probably hamstrung the guy for years. Losing probably had more to do with the owners check book in the past as well. I'm sure he couldn't have the free agents he wanted and at the end of his tenure he was expected to babysit young players when we all know he wanted vets.

El Cheapo was the real problem.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Mr. Say Nothing is now coaching for the team that streamed their interview candidates and President send out tweets?

If he wants to win, something has to give.
