For the record Elway wanted Shanahan and Fangio wasnt his first choice. Kubiak leaving makes it worse even with Fangio.

Q: Have you ever remembered a time when the Broncos were more down on talent than this present team?
A: Vic Lombardi: "Not recently, not since the last part of the Josh McDaniels era."
Thing is, at the time, i believe Fangio was the best hire. He was an old school DC coming off a career season in Chicago and talked about not makng mistakes, getting the fundamental sright and playing solid football.
I honestly think with what we knew then, he was the right hire.
Hindsight clearly suggests this could be wrong. I just dont think we can blame elway on this one.
It appears he's VJ 2.0 and wasnt ready to be HC. Sorry.
Maybe Munch needs more input?

It took forty years for someone to go "yeah, you can be our head coach." I blame Elway for not moving towards an offensive coach to mentor a young QB. Fangio definitely falls into that 'run the ball and play good defense to win' mold...we in 2019, fam. Update the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I just am filled with hatred right now. God ******* dammit. I believed. That's why I'm so mad. I believed.
He hired a young OC to do just that.
Listen, i get it, it looks like sucks. He probably does, but at the time of the hire, it seemed like a solid appointment. We can't be mad about what we didn't know. 40 years in the game suggested he would provide the experienced leadership VJ lacked
I don't mean to be rude, Val. I just mean to say that we let an old buffoon who doesn't know shitty **** about offense pick the OC. That's like picking a fatty fat fatty to run a health science department and that person picks me to run the sports medicine class.
Your point is fine and solid, tbh. I just am too tired to be logical in a way that doesn't fit what I think. I think? **** You Fangio, you old sassy bastage.
I think it's too early to give up on fangios. We'll see how the rest of the season pans out.
Time to fire Elway though.
