And he has much better talent on D with the Niners than he'd have next season with your Donks. :-)
They also lost their previous game to the mighty Falcons. They haven't lost a single game since. Go ask their board how they feel about him now. [Reply]
Here is the thing. And I'm not going to even put this just on you dummies. Every fan base does it.
You just don't know what is going to happen. You can act like you do. But you don't. The Broncos ineptness has been, IMO, from a really messy situation that developed when Pat Bowlen had to cede control of the team. Most everything that happened since was a symptom of that unfortunate scenario. Period. Bowlen established a culture of consistency. When he made a mistake, he corrected it, and tried to go back to that culture. Without that kind of organizational consistency, if you succeed, it's in spite of yourself.
What did Eagles fans think of Andy Reid before he went to you? What percentage of Eagles fans were just beside themselves that they had lost such a great coach? I'll tell you. It was approximately 0%. He was a proven loser who could only win when it didn't matter. Now, he's one of the best coaches in the league, by any measure. Completely shockingly, that also coincides with him having gotten a freak at QB. Crazy.
Everyone is guessing about what we ("we," being the Broncos) need in a new coach. We need a CEO. We need a motivator. No, we need someone who is an offensive whiz. No, we need to keep focusing on our strength, the defense. We need a former head coach.
We've been speculating on that crap for seven years. As it turns out, probably the biggest criteria that was actually considered in choosing the last three coaches was, "Will he take the job on the cheap?" Do you think that might have hamstrung the process? That got us Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio, and Nathaniel Hackett. If you guys expect that kind of decision-making to continue in the future, you're being naive. How fast we'll see the fruits of the new situation will remain to be seen. But it is coming. [Reply]

They like his leadership traits, I guess. I don’t know it’s still early. There was some talk over the last week or two that Evero would be leaving for another DC job, he wasn’t happy with Hackett’s firing. Klis’ report that Evero would be DC is the most recent report, though. [Reply]
