John Fox is Denver's new head coach

Obviously depends what team he has around him. He's shown he can be damn good with a decent team and pretty bad with a bad team.

I do think he can win a championship with the right supporting cast.

Moore wasn't given a fair shot this year. You have to give a guy at least 4 games before you pull him. Yet, he was light years better than Clausen.

Those things are definitely possible. My point is that when it became obvious that he was sucking in that system, there was no effort made to evolve. Jimmy very well could have been (and may be) just as terrible with different philosophy and playcalling, but a good coach at least makes the attempt.

Clausen aside, how many other times have we the fans observed Fox's inability to adjust? It's not an isolated thing, and it's not a sign of a good coach.

How many times has a coach been force fed a QB he didn't want then had to play him then decided to change his whole offensively philosophy for said player?

That's a little much don't you think?

Just saw this quote from John Elway in the story from the Denver Post:

John has coached great defenses, turned teams around and been to Super Bowls."

Uh, you might want to re-read that resume, Mr. Elway.

Yeah, when the coach pulls the QB down a score in a winnable game, it screams that it wasn't his decision and it could have been the FO trying to keep the rowdy crowd happy.

Oh well, if he's given a shot to compete I think he easily wins the job against Clausen and some other FA but who knows if he'll get that shot.

I'm convinced that John Fox will mesh perfectly in the Denver pro sports scene. Here's the proof.

This is a quote from another Denver coach, George Karl, regarding the possible Carmelo trade. I swear I can't make this poo up...

"I think the chances of this team being somewhat what it is, is probably just as much as the possibility of it not being (what it is),"

Pure gold!

This front office probably hamstrung the guy for years. Losing probably had more to do with the owners check book in the past as well. I'm sure he couldn't have the free agents he wanted and at the end of his tenure he was expected to babysit young players when we all know he wanted vets.

El Cheapo was the real problem.

If he wants to win, something has to give.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
