John Fox and Denver parting ways

Elway had a busy day Monday. The Broncos' general manager met with Peyton Manning, the Broncos quarterback who is two months away from his 39th birthday. Manning said Sunday after the playoff loss to Indianapolis he was unsure about whether he would return to the Broncos next season.

Elway and Manning decided it was best to wait before making such a decision.

Elway then met with Fox. Their meeting reached a more definitive conclusion. 

 

Fox, meanwhile, would have preferred a little more authority with the draft and roster.

 

 

The Broncos had not considered dismissing Fox, but became concerned by a Fox Sports report Sunday morning, a few hours before Denver's game against Indianapolis.

The report by Jay Glazer, a close friend of Fox, said that should the Broncos lose to the Colts, "could John Fox become available? If he is, he'll shoot to the top of many of these (head coaching candidates) list."

The Broncos became concerned that Fox was unhappy and was keeping his options open to coach elsewhere. According to a team source, the report "opened the door" to the meeting Monday between Elway and Fox.

 

 

This is very interesting.  Team putting this out like it was mostly Foxy.  Although, of note....Elway met with Manning first.

It is interesting, but this sounded like Fox wanting out of Denver from the get go. I don't think he wanted to take the chance of being the HC in Denver and Peyton not come back so he had Glazer leak that information yesterday before the game.  Which got him his meeting and got him a ticket out of Denver....so Fox got what he wanted.
