I definitely remember the Elway signing was something that my fellow Bronco fans and I celebrated around town. If nothing else I knew that he loved the city of Denver and loved the Broncos. I could handle some bad seasons with Elway at the helm because I knew he cared what happened for us as fans and for the players themselves. I never expected that we would be where we are now though. Truly incredible!
Now the Kubiak hire I understood but also was a bit worried. I mean the guy was stepping into a great and terrible situation all at once. The Broncos were coming off of 4 straight division titles and the past 3 years had never finished worst than 2nd in the entire conference. Manning looking like he was on the decline so couldn't count on him just to go out and dominate. The National Media considered Kubiak a step at best sideways coaching rank wise. So let's say he goes out and the team misses the playoffs this year then Elway and Kubiak have major egg on their face. I mean that decision to let Fox go to us as fans who follow the team closely made sense but to the National Media oh my goodness they ripped Elway apart and then to go hire his buddy who had a losing record at his last place...my oh my it was set up for some fire works in a bad way. Thankfully that is not even close to what happened. I still can't believe how little they talk about that decision to fire Fox and hire Kubiak. Seems to be more about the defense which is fine but to me that was the biggest decision of the off season.
