Vic is the only coach in broncos HISTORY to not win a game in September.

[DavisMVP]

Another 0-for-September? A loss tonight will have him on the hot seat.

[Champ>NFL]

Elway gonna keep firing coaches in year 2? That wouldn’t be a very good look for the organization

[Axemaster]

Wow! The hits just keep coming don't they? Yeah. With this Coaching Staff, the injuries, the schedule. They may be hard pressed to beat the record for futility of 2010 seasons Josh McDaniels debacle 4-12 record! Hold on to your LUGNUTZ!!!!

Vic never should have been hired to be head coach to begin with.

[Megalodon30]

Eric Studesville never won a game in September.

[beastlyskronk]

So he finished 7-5 in the last 12 games last season?

VF (with the Broncos)

September: 0-7
October: 2-2
November: 1-2
December: 4-1

Things will get better

Adam Schefter competed today on the Fan that Bowlen would have hired Kyle Shanahan. Man, would the broncos look different if that came to pass. Lol

Oh well, on to Trevor Lawrence!

Looking up some September stats on VF.

At Chicago he was 4-14 in September. From 2015 thru 2017 he was 1-9. Only in 2018 did he improve to 3-1. For some reason (at least in recent history) he's never been good in September.

[Hadez]

MCD started 3-0 in Sept and Oct....imo he is one of ... if not THE worst things to happen to this franchise.

[Butler By'Note]

But on the flip side, he's now 8-5 outside of September. Hopefully that trend continues.

I don't think you can accurately gain anything by looking at years where he was a DC and not the HC. In Denver he's in control of everything, and fully has to own the 0-7 in September. But can he be blamed for losses where the offense fails to score when he has no control over that aspect of the game? 2016 for instance, the Bears played 3 September games and scored 14,14 and 17 points. Take the first game of 2016 as an example, the Bears had the ball 12 times, on 8 of those 12 drives they had the ball for 4 or fewer offensive plays (note one of those was a 2 play TD drive). So was that his fault?

I only checked the one game and the one season, but to me it's impossible to lay the record of a team at the feet of a DC, unless they're getting absolutely gashed every single game.
