…and STILL can’t win a playoff game with one of the BEST QB’S ever to play the game?
===========================

In the regular season only. In 12 playoff years, that QB lost the first game 8 times. Saturday’s game was consistent with his history.

Looks like the San Diego Chargers just hired a new Norv Turner

So John Fox brought 2 coordinators in and the are both head coaches now…..both in the AFC west. Denver truly owns the division.

For all you folks wondering who told Manning to take a knee with 31 seconds left & 2 time outs, that was John Fox. He even admitted it in his own press conference.

Just as long as the Colts get to keep Bruce Arians around for a few more years is fine with me.

When the Chargers nabbed Telesco, I thought Arians was going with him for sure.

“He has been widely praised for finding ways to succeed on offense while having three very different quarterbacks, changing from Kyle Orton to Tim Tebow to Peyton Manning.”
Seriously, I don’t mean to be harsh but what is there to praise?
Their offense stank with Tebow/Orton and he shouldn’t get the credit for Manning being instant offense who brings his own system.
Before Denver he was involved mostly with the Panthers passing game that went from average to poor.
When has the guy had actual success without Manning calling the shots?
He seems like another one of those guys that has some kind of myth about them being good (see Rob Ryan)

Hate the move; are you nuts? After Saturday, we want some more house cleaning! Hopefully the scouts are really busy looking for some play makers on D to replace the everybody that rushes the passer other than 58. The only grass Flacco had on his Jersey was when he got mobbed by his own team mates.

It will be interesting to look back at these 8 hires in 3-5 years and see which GM made the best pick, or there might be 2-3 who do really well…kind of like the Draft, you won’t know if you made the right pick for a few years.

With Ariens not getting hired anywhere that ought to make the Colts one of the top teams in the AFC next year.

Had heard the Eagles were interested in McCoy but the interview did not knock their socks off and it looks like the Birds have decided on Gus Bradley instead. Time will tell but I believe Bradley to be the better choice.

Well…. we’ll see. I didn’t go into this whole thing with any false hopes, or preconceptions. After Norv and AJ, I’d be willing to give my Pop Warner coach from back in the day a shot. I think Telesco was a good move and with his input, I’m sure they’ll make a wise pick for HC.

I’m sure all the Chargers/Chiefs haters are going to disagree, but I wouldn’t quite just give away the AFCWest to the Broncos so fast. We all know the Raiders suck, but I can see the other 3 AFCW teams putting up a good fight.

If there was no Peyton, there would be no McCoy.
Funny how teams blind themselves by crediting the coach instead of the true reason for success, a talented QB instead of a journeyman.

Great catch for the Chargers, he should be able to maximize Rivers potential, Broncos fans must hate this move.

It’s amazing how good Payton Manning can make assistant coaches look.

Is he the same guy who told Peyton to take knee when he had a chance to win the game on Saturday? A genius good thing they got him early before anybody else could take him.

Thank God, and I say that as a Denver season ticket holder.

Why would you interview Arians when you’ve decided to hire McCoy? Doesn’t make sense…seems like another fishy ‘report’

So Broncos lose our defensive coordinator to the Raiders one year, and our offensive coordinator might go to the Chargers a year later. I guess that is a good sign to show the Broncos have a good team/staff. Should it be taken as a compliment.

Really surprised Roman’s name hasn’t been out there, unless he feels that he’s not ready to be a HC.

Maybe if he had been thinking more about his current team and a little less about his next team, they would have been ready to play with 31s and 2 timeouts.

Why do I get the feeling the Cardinals are going to bring in Whisenhunt for an interview?

The Broncos Offensive coordinator is the new Chargers head coach? How will Peyton Manning do both at once.

Several Coaches have interviewed the Chargers but none have notified the Chargers that they will help them by signing.

Hopefully, for Chargers fans, he is the “real” McCoy.

Yeaahhhhh

There are 2 coordinators that would be great hires. McCoy for one because he went from orton to tebow to manning. Having a coordinator that can change his system is good not one stuck in one system. The other is Gregg roman from San Fran he too went from a run heavy offense with Toby gearhart then pass happy with luck back to a run heavy in San Fran because Alex smith is so limited now gets to open things up with Colin as the qb. Oh yeah he also played d in the pro’s so he understands the harmony an offense and deffense have to have together.
