I'm very excited for this offseason. There's no reason we shouldn't be much improved this year.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to this off-season too.

Shurmur: '[It was] very important to go to an organization that has winning in their DNA'

Feb 06, 2020

After being introduced as the Broncos' new offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur discusses why he accepted the offer to join Head Coach Vic Fangio's coaching staff and what he's looking to bring to the Broncos' offense.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Vic Fangio knows the reputation that follows defensive-minded coaches.

That they only want to run the ball. That they're conservative by nature. That they'd prefer to win games 3-0. Two to nothing, if possible.

But he made it clear Thursday that he doesn't fall in that category.

"Contrary to the stereotype that is always out there, [that a] defensive head coach wants to ground and pound and counts a pitch to the halfback as a pass, that is not me," Fangio said Thursday. "I like to be aggressive."

Pat Shurmur already interviewing for the Michigan St HC job, so anybody who thought this hire might bring continuity can forget that.

Signing a RB to a big extension is generally poor decision making, especially when that RB is 185lbs and has a bad wrist. This is no time to get sentimental, tender Lindsay accordingly and play your cards right.

Or ... sell high.
