Denver doesn’t have anywhere near that talent.

Harbaugh also didn’t have to play against QB talents like Mahomes and Herbert in his own division.

I will say this. 20 million a year and he would be there in a heartbeat and the new ownership can afford it. They will have to vastly overpay the going rate to get anyone worth a shit to take that on that mess, but I wouldn't rule it out. They would still suck, just not as bad as they do now. Maybe move up to 3rd in the division with the LV disaster.

And dear God, NFL coaches are vastly under paid for their impact on these games. Reid at 8 million is robbery.

Harbaugh is the perfect fit for Denver.

Actually Ernest P. Worrell would be the perfect fit for Denver. They could even make a movie: Ernest goes to Camp, Part 2.

Kaep figured it out in time...

I would agree with this. I guess the top-notch coaches are exceedingly rare, but it seems like every team should be scouring the ranks of the colleges and maybe high schools every year to find the right guy. There's a lot of proof in NFL history that great coaches field great teams consistently.

Bet they would still finish last. They dont have talent and Paton is one of the worst GM's in the league.

The Denver Broncos' ownership group, which made the decision to fire Nathaniel Hackett this past week, is expected to be "ultra aggressive" in doing whatever it takes to land the head-coaching candidate they want.https://t.co/aEIC9EapJu

They can spend all the money they want on a coach.

Doesn’t change the fact that he’s gonna have to coach that garbage roster and will be stuck with DangeRuss at QB for at least the next couple years.

Not an appealing situation, but money buys lots of things so we’ll see . . . . .

[Rainbarrel]

A known coach will be after a retirement check. Glory only a happenstance of incredible drafting and a Russ guilt trip

The Panthers were the same way. They what all the money before this year.

Guess how that played out?

Payton already said no, choad.

These guys want money AND they want to win. They can't have both in Denver.

[Chris Meck]

Dear Broncos fans:

This isn't MLB, you can't just buy a championship. I know that the Peyton Manning situation has led you to believe that you CAN, but it actually rarely works in the NFL. No, you tried it with DangeRuss, and it's flopped, and in the process you ****ed yourselves for years by sending away good players, trading away multiple years' worth of draft picks, and handcuffing yourselves with the massive contract to a narcissist QB that his teammates hate.

You're cap strapped, talent deficient, tethered to a loser QB until 2025 at least, and in a division with Patrick Mahomes.

Give up all hope, ye who enter here.

15 in a row coming up!

He’s 34 and will be 35 next year. If he has to evaluate everything at this stage in his career then he is a narcissist and poor player who robbed Denver for a year and stole a year of the careers of his teammates.
