The Denver Broncos are going right back to the defensive well with their next head coach hire and have selected Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio as their next head coach according to multiple reports.

ESPN first reported the news, adding it is a four-year deal with a fifth-year option for Fangio.

Fangio was the Bears defensive coordinator from 2014 through 2018, serving in the role for both John Fox and Matt Nagy, when the latter was hired this offseason. Prior to that, Fangio worked as the defensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers, brought by Jim Harbaugh from Stanford to San Francisco when the coach made the leap to the NFL.

The Broncos had narrowed down their search to Fangio and Mike Munchak, the Steelers offensive line coach.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

That sucks, but good for him getting his opportunity to be head coach! A long and successful career deserves a shot. Hopefully the Bears can get bowles or donatell to take over

they cant fuck this up, need to find someone good and pay up.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Bowles went to the Bucs

"Find" someone?

With this Bears defense, the absolute best defensive coaches out there are going to be beating down the doors at Halas Hall looking for a job.

Wasn't Bowles considered "the absolute best" DC candidate available?

He's going to the Bucs.

Yeah, Frank, it doesn't really work that way. Money and prior relationships talk.

Thank goodness Ryan Pace appears to be somewhat competent. If we had GB decision makers around here we'd probably be looking at Oakland or TB for our next DC.

I completely understand any head coaching candidate taking their shot when a job is offered, but I think Denver was far and away the worst position available. Elway's status with ownership means the coach is always going to be targeted first even for his own failings. Not to mention it's easy to envision the Chargers and Chiefs being good enough to relegate them to irrelevancy for the next 3-4 years.

Ryan Pace hired John Fox.

That was good hire at the time.
