I'm happy if the coaches can have some success -- enough so that Elway can keep Fangio as the HC and keep the assistants in place.t wasn't just the QB or the play-calling. It was both. Had a player-caller who didn't let the QB make adjustments, called a game to the strengths of what he did have as good play-callers do, went away from plays that worked, got too cute a lot, and called designed dump-offs on 3rd down.Meanwhile, the QB lacked the mobility to fully run the offense, held the ball and missed open receivers.
It was a bad match from the start between the two and destined to fail. Good to see that Scangarello really made some adjustments with how he called the game. Denver needed that. If he didn't improve, then there had to be a serious discussion about firing him and Denver needed offensive stability.
You just can't have success with a constant carousel of coaching changes every season. And the Broncos have gone through three complete coaching staffs plus each head coach had usually 2 assistants or more as some assistants were replaced before the head coach was fired (Fox, Kubiak, Vance Joseph).
So, regardless of the futility of the Flacco era, we need to keep Fangio and his assistants and have them be successful. There has to be someone in charge for the long term so that they can start identifying the kind of players they need to win, and start finding players like that.
No more coaching changes for a while.
