Ugh.
Hard to argue with Fox as the selection.
I can't remember when the Broncos last had a BAD offense. Since the day Al Wilson got hurt, the defense has been awful most of the time. Logic says go with a defensive guy like Fox.
That said, I do not like conservative offense and I hope that with Carolina it was simply a function of never having much more than Steve Smith as a target in the passing game.
What am I worrying about though....we don't even know if we have a QB yet.

Not really his fault that Carolina's owners are cheapskates. Dude almost won the Super Bowl with this craptastic roster:

I was actually kind of hoping he wouldn't get a HC job and the Eagles could pick him up as defensive coordinator and fire the useless ginger.

How much confidence do you have in Stafford? I like him but in his first 2 years he has missed significant time. If I am a Detroit fan I am a bit worried about it.

Confident in his ability but scared to death of his shoulders.
If he can stay healthy, which is a big if, I think he has the ability to be very good.

I am really not liking the start of this new era in Denver with Elway at the helm.
Just because you could at one point throw the ball doesnt mean you should be given the reigns to an NFL team.

Not to sure about picking up Fox to be a Head Coach. Pretty neutral on the decision.

He's kind of like the Jacques Lemaire of the NFL. They won't be flashy or creative but he will have the boys plaing hard every Sunday and they will be competitive and even very good at times. I just can't get over that after their Superbowl run they have been really average as his overall record with them indicates. People will say that the owner handicapped him but Fox was the one that endorsed the ridiculous Delhomme extension when it was evident that he was trending downward. That's how conservative he is. Stick with what you know even if you know it's not as good. Sould be better than McDaniels though for sure.

Not sure anyone has posted it but the Fins are interviewing Brad Childress for their OC tomorrow. Lots of reports are already saying Childress is the front runner and if in fact he does get the job that the Fins will be looking at McNabb or Kolb for QB next year because of their familiarity with the west coast offence.

Seeing reports that McDaniels will be the Rams next OC. Good call, he's a hell of an offensive coordinator.

Well the first part of my offseason wishlist has come true. Eagles fire Sean McDermott.

So apparently the Dick Jauron, Jim Mora, and Billy Davis are some of the names being tossed around for the Eagles' vacant defensive coordinator position. Colour me unimpressed.
