One interesting thing that has come up, though, is that at least the last three Broncos coaching hires were influenced by the team's financial situation. They had limited short-term resources. So, at the top of the list of criteria for the job, it was, "Is motivated enough to be a head coach that we can get him on the cheap." I think that was probably bolded and capitalized when you had to account for the cash you were still paying the last guy. Vance Joseph Vic Fangio Nathaniel Hackett Yikes. I have a little fan PTSD just typing those names. |

It should be noted that he is formally interviewing for the job tomorrow. So, it's not like he's just not interested. He was just smart enough to not want to be the guy left straightening the deck chairs on the Titanic. |

Those were the only guys that would take that shitty job. Eric Bienemy is next. |

The fact is that all three of those guys took the job despite the bottom-tier salary and the completely dysfunctional ownership situation. Neither of those things are factors this time around. That said, it's now complicated by a completely messed-up QB situation that isn't going to change anytime in at least the next 2-3 years. Still, I'd be willing to bet they get one of the 'marquee" available coaches - for whatever that is worth. The ownership situation changes everything. You guys made fun of QJ for posting the thing about the new field. But as a Broncos fan, that little news blip was music to my ears. It's a perfect representation about how everything has changed. Since Pat Bowlen stepped away, you have had ownership and management whose interests were, at best, conflicted. What's worse, you had a bunch of guys in charge who had limited resources to actually do anything. Now, you have the ear of the wealthiest ownership situation in the league. Will that, by itself, make the Broncos great again? No. But it removes an obstacle that has basically been a non-starter for success. It's hard enough, under the best of circumstances, to catch lightning in a bottle in the NFL, as it pertains to building a champion. When the bottle you're using has a cork, "difficult" basically becomes synonymous with "impossible." |

Wilson IS a dumpster fire, just like most of the players on your team, and one George Paton. |

I hope Harbaugh buying burgers for recruits is what eventually leads him to being Denver’s HC.

Imagine celebrating beating a team of backups going through the motions preparingfor the playoffs...absolutely pathetic.
