With the hiring of John Fox as the Broncos' 14th head coach in franchise history, the team's corporate flowchart looks like this:
# Pat Bowlen, owner and chief executive officer
While Bowlen has stepped back form public view in recent months and has publicly admitted to some health issues, there is no question he remains in charge of all things Broncos. After hearing the recommendations, he made the call on the team's new head coach. All of the team's top executives report to him.
# Joe Ellis, president
Ellis reports directly to Bowlen, all others report to Ellis. He will not oversee the day-to-day work of the team's football operations any longer, but he still controls the team's checkbook. He will spend more of his time with the business side of the organization, but he will, after crunching the numbers with Bowlen, set the budget for the roster, including money available for free agency.
# John Elway, executive vice president of football operations
Elway has been front and center in the search for the team's head coach and was the team official in direct contact with each of the candidates. He will oversee all things football for the Broncos, including pro and college scouting, the team's coaching staff and contract negotiations. He reports to Ellis and Bowlen.
# Brian Xanders, general manager
Xanders will handle the day-to-day personnel issues, including player transactions and will be out front in contract talks with players. He will oversee the team's draft board and coordinate the team's scouting staffs for both pro personnel and the annual draft. He'll report directly to Elway.
# John Fox, head coach
A seasoned veteran, Fox will manage the team's roster and coaching staff day-to-day, including formulating practice plans as well as training camp and offseason schedules. Will hire his assistant coaches, within a budget set by Ellis. Will have input in the team's draft and free agency plans as well. He will answer to Elway.
