As expected, the Denver Broncos have made a decision regarding the future of head coach Vic Fangio. Following their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the season finale, Fangio was fired by the organization.
In three seasons with the Broncos, Fangio never delivered a winning record. His best year in Denver came in his first, back in 2019, when the team finished with a 7-9 record. The Broncos never reached the playoffs during his tenure. As an organization, Denver has not been to the playoffs since the 2015 season, when they won the Super Bowl under Gary Kubiak and with Peyton Manning under center.
The organization announced the decision on Sunday morning:

With Fangio out, the team now joins the list of organizations looking to hire a new head coach. Given the pieces in place on both sides of the football, and the fact that the Broncos are likely to have a top-ten pick in the 2022 NFL draft, this might be a desirable destination. Who are some of the candidates the organization should consider?
