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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
