Thanks. I couldn't remember. And just wondering if there's any truth to the rumor I've heard around here. Sadly I'm currently stuck in Bolder, don't care for it. Is it true the only reason Hackett was hired was the organization thought they had a legit shot at getting Rodgers?

Incorrect. But probably played a role. Theres another theory that Hackett is a great idea guy who interviews well, but didn't have a clue what he was really getting into.

I think most HC's who call plays you have to be really careful when you hire their coordinators, because in all likelihood you never really know just how good they are.

Except Eric Bienemy. Everyone knows he's not worth the salt on Andy Reid's burger.

Too bad, I thought him, and Wilson were doing a great job.

Said this earlier in the season but Hackett reminds me so much of Freddie Kitchens. Two guys that just had no business being HC's.

Who would you like to see as the next Broncos coach?

More weird the owner is going to lead the coaching search, who has zero football knowledge, with "support" from the front office.

Nice touch adding that Paton has "my full confidence ".

Even though its a huge mistake, I'd brush up the resume George.
An owner who thinks they know what they are doing is my biggest fear. Warning 1 was signing Wilson to massive extension.

Wish we had hired the guy I wanted last year, Kevin O'Connell.

Probably get Dan Quinn.
Do you think it would be an offensive minded HC? Quinn was the first guy that went through my mind as well since he was a finalist last year with the Broncos HC...

I would say Sean Payton but I don't think the Broncos have any more or want to give up more draft picks to the Saints for the rights to Payton...

Warning sign 2: saying Paton would assist his search for a coach.
Warning sign 3: saying he has full confidence in Paton.
Warning sign 4: Schaeffty already hearing Broncos clean house after the season.

Payton has already said he's bringing gramps with him as DC. Aint no way he's coming here now.

We'll get someone safe, boring, old school. We'll go 8-8 for a decade.

Obviously a PR move to shift blame on one of the worst trades in history.
I'm curious how this is a PR move when the results of the trade are shown to the fans and nation every Sunday.

There's no conspiracy here, it's a decision made based on actual data and results. Hackett couldn't hack it. Period.

Local Denver radio hosts are already saying Harbaugh is the owner’s primary target. Wouldn’t shock me if he is, but it’s way too early to know for sure.

Good.

Few other teams need to follow Denver's lead.

I was a proponent of the hire, but I was 100% wrong. Great guy, nice back story and thoughts, but Hackett just never improved, adjusted etc... It was simply too much for him. This was the right move. Wish it wouldn't cost up Ejiro, but I think it will.

From who is available and who might actually take it, different lists. But I'm hopeful for Ken Dorsey or Gannon before anyone else.

Thoughts on Johnson?
