Del Rio was the #1 target for the USC job last year and turned them down as he was supposedly the next in line for the Broncos HC job.

Bad call. Horse face decided to go nuclear on the entire crew.



What part of J.D.R. and Adam Gase were leaving for head coaching jobs anyways that people don't understand?

I hope Oakland brings in Fox for an inyerview.

Del Rio will inherit the Denver job now.

I must admit this is surprising.

I'm not. The window was very tight with this roster and they had mortgaged quite a bit of the future. Another year and it could of really put them back for a long time.

Time to implode the roster and start a rebuild.

Whether it's all warranted or not, personally, I admire Elway for making this decision. These were Elway's hires and he's obviously not too proud to kick them to the curb and move on. Elway's a winner and won't settle for anything less.

Just wow! But it makes sense if you are throwing in the towel. If you are going to rebuild, might as well bring in a whole new staff so nobody owes any players any loyalty. Could be fire sale trades coming up for Denver players. Let the FA's walk, trade anybody under contract and start from nothing. It takes balls to do this cause there will be a few tough years.

For sale or trade, 1 heavily used and partially damaged quarterback.

Shocked about just the outright elimination of the now defunct coaching staff. All the continuity just went out the window, going to be interesting to see what happens.

The window is closing more and more.
The window is closed. The mirage named Peyton Manning was just an illusion and there ain't no water in sight.

I could go on and on but as a player I loved to watch Elway chuck it but as a GM he is just a DB.

Fuck that. Fox is not the answer in Oakland, or anywhere else.

WOW

So Elway hands him a aging QB with multiple neck surgeries and when said aging QB fails terribly (once again) he hands the HC his walking papers?

If a Pats fan said anything related to what you just said they would be tarred burned and feathered.

Wow ... Seems like a knee jerk reaction considering they were the 2nd seed, and Manning was playing at about 60 percent... Kinda surprised by this... WTF

When you're a HC and you acknowledged what's killing you at halftime and then proceed to come out and do absolutely nothing you're a shitty head coach. Both Del Rio and John Fox were shitty at making half time adjustments and that's the reason Denver blew so many 2nd half leads this year.

Del Rio has no understanding of the word blitz and that's what killed us against Indy, we couldn't get any pressure on Luck and just stood back and waited for him to throw. Del Rio changed nothing about his defense playcalling and he deserves to be fired, and Fox deserved to be fired for letting him. You're the HC, do something if you're your DC wont.

A lot of you have no knowledge of the broncos given your comments.

1) Broncos are not in cap hell having mortgaged the future. They have room and if Manning were to retire or be cut that opens up more room.

2) Why get rid of everyone and start from scratch? Welker will go, but that was going to happen anyways. Julius Thomas will likely go, he is not worth the cost. Demaryius Thomas will get the tag or new contract.

3) This is not after 1 game. I guess you all don't remember that uninspired play last February or several games this season. The broncos are soft. They quit on games that don't start their way and have shown up dazed and confused in a lot of them.

A coaching change was bound to happen. Del Rio and/or Gase were candidates for other jobs. The surprising part is all three going a day after the season ended. I am sure Elway wanted to get started on a coaching search immediately.
