Now you get on that OC carousel. Hire a guy who does well and he is a HC elsewhere next year. Hire a guy who sucks and Fangio likely doesn't last very long as HC.

So much this. ^^^

Completely agree.

I wonder if Tomsula will end up there.

Not a chance. The reports that came after Tomsula was hired suggested that the two didn't exactly see eye to eye. Fangio didn't want him on his staff in any capacity.

That's putting it mildly.

It'll be interesting to see how he does in that division. The other teams are adapting to the NFL's new style of play and the Broncos are probably going to follow their 2015 SB model. Eventually, Fangio will need a franchise QB. But in the meantime, he might be the guinea pig for how to slow down the Chiefs. Win or lose, his game plans against the Chiefs will probably be of interest to the rest of the league.

I reeeeeaaallly wish he could've gotten Kubiak. If the Denver FO took issue with who was on Kubiak's staff, I think they made a tremendous mistake and have screwed up what seemed like a great hire. They would've had great continuity, assuming Fangio works out, because neither would be going anywhere. Huge mistake by Denver.
