Does anyone else find it hilarious that the Donkos hired Hackett solely to lure ARod there and they struck out?

The Jets now hire Hackett to be their OC and good chance ARod actually ends up in the AFC now.

Way to go General Pay-A-Ton. You really ****ed that up, didn't you? And now you're stuck with a declining DangeRuss for at least 3 more years and his shitty contract.

Well played.

Watching Hackett and ARod boat race the Donks and WalRuss next season will be sooo damn funny!

↓THIS is more competent than the Broncos organization

I'm late to the party on this one:

This mind-boggling figure was shared by the official Twitter handle of MLFootball. It reads, “Recently fired #Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett will make 80k a week from Denver to do whatever he would like until his 4-year contract is up”. That means the Broncos will continue to pay until his contract expires.Dec 29, 2022.

DeMeco Ryans emerges as a top Broncos head coach candidate https://t.co/gtHVjTwFBP via @9NEWS #9sports

Spoiler!

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans has emerged as a top candidate to become the Denver Broncos' next head coach.

Other Broncos’ head coach candidates remain in the mix including Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, former New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton and former Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts’ head coach Jim Caldwell, according to a source. But Ryans appears to be a top choice.

...



Broncos’ chief executive officer and owner Greg Penner has spent the last few days regrouping with the other involved owners--Carrie Penner, Rob Walton and Condoleezza Rice--as well as general manager George Paton. Penner appears to have taken a meticulous approach to the head coaching search, which includes follow-up conversations both inside and outside team headquarters to gain more information on the candidates and to gauge their interest in the top job.

If Penner wants to interview Ryans for a second time, he will have to wait until early next week. Ryans’ 49ers are playing Sunday against the Eagles in Philadelphia in the NFC Championship Game.

If the Broncos do visit with Ryans for a second time, Penner is expected to be joined by fellow owners Rob Walton and Carrie Walton Penner, who have been involved in the process.



When Penner began his head coach search process after firing Nathaniel Hackett with two weeks left in the regular season, his preference was to find someone with previous head coach experience. Why? The Broncos three previous hires for the position since 2017 – Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio and Hackett – were all first-time head coaches. None posted a winning season and all were fired before reaching the end of their respective four-year contracts.

But Penner also kept an open mind while seeking a dynamic leader who had a bit of an edge for his next head coach and he didn’t limit his 8 candidates to those with previous experience. While Jim Harbaugh, Raheem Morris, Quinn, Payton and Caldwell are candidates with previous NFL head coach experience, three did not – Ryans, the Broncos’ own defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and David Shaw, who recently stepped away as Stanford’s head coach.


Penner, co-owner Rice and Paton came away impressed with Ryans during their interview with him last Thursday in the San Francisco Bay area. And while Ryans’ coaching resume is thin in terms of experience compared to other NFL head coaches, so was Mike Tomlin’s before the Rooney family was blown away his by clear leadership command and hired him to be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach in 2007. Tomlin is still the Steelers head coach 16 years later as he has yet to experience a losing season.

Tomlin became head coach after just one year as a defensive coordinator. Ryans has been the 49ers’ defensive coordinator the past two years and was enormously successful each season. The 49ers were No. 3 in total defense in 2021 and tied for No. 9 in scoring defense, then became a postseason surprise with playoff upsets of the Cowboys in Dallas and Packers in Green Bay before nearly defeating the Rams in Los Angeles in the NFC Championship Game.

Although Ryans implements a 4-3 defensive system, it's possible Evero would return as the Broncos' defensive coordinator even though Evero runs a 3-4 defense as it will take a while for general manager George Paton to adjust his roster personnel.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Denver should just fold the franchise and save themselves the embarrassment.

[RunKC]

Wow Denver got turned down by their top 2 targets and are now on option C.

Oh how the mighty have fallen

[The Franchise]

Could we stop giving the 49ers extra 3rd round picks? ****.

Q Joe has realized the error of his ways.

This wasn't always the plan, but it's now terribly obvious that it should have been.

Hey look guys, it's a black head coach! He's obviously the next Mike Tomlin!



So racist...

Well, this should help fix the offense and Russ . . . . . .

They plan is to hire the right coach, not a specific coach. It may be Payton, it may be Harbaugh, it may be Ryans, it may be someone else. This isn't the old regime that leaks shit to the press with a specific candidate in mind. We'll all know when they announce it. These new owners are so ****ing rich that they do not care about anyone else's time table...ever.
