The Broncos HC search, etc

The Broncos' search committee — Ellis, Elway, team owner Pat Bowlen and general manager Brian Xanders — started with a broad list of candidates before choosing eight to be interviewed.

Three declined the offer — Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, who took the 49ers' head coaching job; Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey; and Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams — while five, including Broncos interim head coach Eric Studesville, were interviewed.

Interesting that Williams and Mularkey were not interested in the Denver job.

Also:

"It was beneficial to have a psychologist/headhunter who had done this kind of search and interview process before, specifically (in) professional sports.

"He was really able to guide all of us, and extract a lot of good information about a candidate's makeup and personal character."

And.....

Fox's responses were partly cloudy — it's clear he didn't want to reveal too much today. But he expressed confidence and singled that he clearly believes he's the man who can pull the Broncos out of the NFL cellar and back to the penthouse. Why else would he have signed a four-year deal for between $3 million and $3.5 million a season after making $6 million as coach of the Carolina Panthers in 2010?

Did they not realize no on else was interested? And, get used to those "cloudy" responses. lol Guess the press has not done their homework

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
