Broncofan Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Much needed. Great DC, but awful HC, no way to keep him with a demotion. Wish him well in his next gig. Paton made the right call - the big calls are the next HC/OC/DC, and obviously, the QB he pairs them with.

bMiller031 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Good riddance. Great DC and always put a great defensive product on the field but hes not the leader/CEO of a perennial contender. He tolerated poor performance at OC and STC, didn’t take ownership for failures, and the messaging internally and externally was disappointing. Now he and Harbaugh will be a pain in our a** in LV.

paul-mac Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m surprised they’ve actually announced that Shurmur has been fired. Surely when the HC goes, you fire the entire coaching staff and let the new coach bring his guys in. That tweet gives me the fear that McMahon and other incompetent coaches are being retained.

Broncofan Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Losing a game where we were close, but Fangio opted for the FG and the D never got the ball back to give the O another chance, couldn't describe the Fangio era more accurately. Those 14K+ no-shows also told the story. Tried hard, played hard, played close games - but game management blunders, a limited O that couldn't come back once they got behind, and just painful football to watch on the O end. And to be abundantly clear - we had the 2nd-easiest schedule this year, getting to face 4 bottom 5 teams. 3 years, 19-30. The other part - going into the season, DEN spent the most on D than any other team at 95M (KC passed us by getting Melvin Ingram via trade), and had the highest or 2nd highest D/O ratio of cap allocation. Fangio's a great DC. He should succeed in his next gig. But anyone who suggests that Paton was premature here, or Fangio didn't get a fair shake, they aren't looking at the cold, hard facts.

No, this is Klis deflecting ire from the fanbase. I'm actually hoping we retain Kollar & Munchak. That's going to be up to the new HC, though. Like you said, the new HC gets to pick his staff. This is just to appease the fanbase, who are irate that Shurmur wasn't fired sooner. Of all the guys to get fired, Shurmur & McMahon deserved it the most (Fangio deserved it for sure, but his loyalty to Shurmur/McMahon and refusal to be accountable, were probably his 2nd / 3rd biggest weaknesses, although nothing can match his game management & challenge management combo skill set struggles).

paul-mac Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 For the interviews, I want Paton to spend an hour showing clips of questionable on field decisions and asking the candidate whether they’d throw the red challenge flag or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't count out Chicago for Harbaugh/Fangio. Either way, if it happens, it happens. Won't lose any sleep over it. I know this was cited as a reason to reconsider Fangio's firing - it's a bad one. If we can't beat a team with Fangio as DC, so be it. It's not a reason to keep a liability as HC.

AnAngryAmerican Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Well this came a little earlier than I suspected, I thought they would wait until Monday morning. But good not to leave Vic twisting in the wind, the look on his face at the end of the game yesterday told you all you needed to know, he knew he was going to get the axe - I even said to the wife when we were watching the game, “Vic looks sad.” Now the hard part is finding the right candidates, conducting good interviews and background checks and making a good hire. The last good hire this team made was Kubiak in 2015, the last two have been bad hires, has have three of the last five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 To allay any fears, yes, McMahon's gone. It's actually more of a Q of who the new HC hire will retain. Like I said before, I hope for Kollar/Munchak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Whoever is our WR coach needs fired as well. For a talented group, they have underachieved this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
