JAF-N72EX Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Elway is not playing. Two grade-A hires. --First hires arguably the best DC in football as a HC to pair with an already top-10 defense led by Von. --Now hires the clear-cut best OL coach in the league to take over at the same position led by Paradis.

naptownskinsfan Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Elway is definitely assembling an all-star class of coaches, but this is the NFL and not college. The players make more than the coaches, and getting them to buy in is going to be absolutely key. I worry about two old-school guys like Fangio and Munchak being able to develop the kind of culture that, say, McVay has developed with the Rams. Alternately, old school may be what the Broncos need.

The HC concern is fair about anyone new to the HC job, but I don't know that who you hire as an OL coach has any bearing on buy-in for his job. Munchak's record of success should be more than enough to get buy-in from the OL. Everywhere Munchak's gone, he's encountered nothing but success.

I am assuming they tag on Assistant/Associate Head Coach to Munchak's title, meaning he's the man in the absence of Fangio, meaning he's going to have to be part of the culture and more than just in the OL room.

They say the game starts up front and with Fangio/Munchak, I'd say it would be a good route to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, 100% agree, at all levels of football from high school on up. The trenches are important, if often underlooked now, but great line play flows backwards and makes everyone else better.

So that's 40% of that seasoned OL that could be gone right off the bat. They just lost a coach they covet on a lateral move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that we lost Munch, but I think our current line will still be solid. The two we are set to lose are our two most replaceable guys. Feiler did a nice job at RT. Time will tell how much it effects us both short term and long term. PS....technically Munch took a lateral move, but he is also closer to his family, which is why many speculated he might go to Denver over other places, even as head coach.
