After firing Vance Joseph two weeks ago the Denver Broncos head coaching search ended with Vic Fangio earning the job after 40 years of coaching linebackers and defenses in the NFL. Former head coach and Super Bowl 50 winner Gary Kubiak will have some sort of lead offense role. He has not yet been named offensive coordinator, but that will be his role on some level. The early rumor is that Ed Donatell will be Fangio’s choice as defensive coordinator. The Chicago Bears defense was #1 in the league this football season allowing the fewest points per game and ammassing 27 interceptions. Guys like Von Miller & Bradley Chubb should be primed for big seasons, and maybe Quarterback Case Keenum can play better with Kubiak calling the plays. Chuck Pagano, Mike Munchak, Brian FLores, and Zac Taylor were all considered for the job. The Arizona Cardinals have hired Kliff Kingsbury as their head coach. The Cleveland Browns remained in house and promoted OC Freddie Kitchens, and the Green Bay Packers have hired former Tennessee Titans OC Matt LaFleur to lead Aaron Rodgers out of the pit of misery.
