    Terrible move by Chicago. There goes that top 3 defense next year.

    That would be the initial reaction but I don't agree. The players are still the same

    Guy is a coordinator, not a head coach

    So Denver, who scored more than 27 points once this past season, and was held to 20 or less points 9 times, hires a defensive specialist as HC. I guess Elway must have Carte Blanche with Denver because if I were the owner of the Bronco's, I would fire him immediately. Maybe Elway wants to be competitive with the Raiders.

    Why do these teams hire head coaches to do coordinator jobs, I mean if Andy Reid runs your offense he is the coordinator.
    coach is responsible for all and these teams keep hiring these offense or defense superstar coordinators and forget all about the main job of a head coach

    Guess we will find out - if he’s wade Phillips/norv turner- he’s had good defense at SF/Chicago

    So if Rex Ryan coached the Patriots they’d still be a dynasty right? I mean it’s all the same players.

    Fangio is is one of the best D play callers in the league. Just look at the Niners D after he left. A lot of the same players there too and they went from top 5 D to middle of the pack real fukkin quick.

    Other than Manning? Elway has been a total failure.

    This hurts the Bears, and will hurt the Broncos because it’s trying to repeat the exact same failure of Joseph.

    It will be a four-year deal plus a team option for a fifth, per source.

    The bears still had a great defense for years after buddy left. They need to figure out how to score points

    I dont think he is a bust, he has never been a head coach, he is as likely to succeed as anyone else. I think the Broncos were not looking for a D mastermind but more a head coach and I hope that is what he is. I also think Von Miller has more say so in this matter and he might have played in the decision as well to hire a D first type guy.

    Total opposite of the trend other organizations are moving in. It's like hiring an MLB GM that doesn't believe in analytics.

    Fangio did a good job in SF and Chicago but Denver needs someone to develop a young QB.

    Good safe hire. Kubiak back to run offense. Fangio will love scheming with Miller and Chubb unless Elway trades Von.

    A coordinator maybe Kubiak is there for that or just friends giving friends jobs? I mean Kubiak did shit as a pro but maybe he can coach QBs

    Kubiak is a solid offensive play caller and will get most out of Keenum if that is going to be their qb.

    The ONLY thing a good safe hire will do for this team is possibly keep them ahead of the Raiders and at around .500. They have two teams in their division who were 12-4. How many times have two teams in the same division shared the title for most wins in their Conference?

    Chance to get Bronco defense back to Super Bowl level. I like it.

    One of the few teams in league where defense takes the priority.

    One of the worst hires I’ve ever seen. Guy is 70 something years old. This league, and sports in general are all about a young guy running the show that can relate to players. Maybe Elway wants a puppet like Jason Garrett. Only thing I can think of. Makes absolutely no sense

    Probably not.

    The problem with Vance Joseph is that he is very stupid (not that he's a former defensive coordinator).

    It remains to be seen whether Fangio is stupid, but I would bet that he's much smarter than Vance Joseph.

    not sure what they could have done about it.

    it was a miracle they got him to stay with the new head coach last year, had him signed through 2020

    The defense was really made by the Horses on the field.

    will be the top available coordinator position by a mile

    Guy haven’t even coach 1 season and people say it won’t work out? Did Denver not win a Super Bowl with all
    defense few years ago ? It’s a gamble - who knows what’s going happen - you guys don’t know a dam thing till it plays out !!!
