Mike Kliss was on at the end of the Stokley and Zach Show yesterday on 104.3 The Fan (check out the link below). It was mostly a conversation about the quarterback debacle that happened on Sunday but Kliss was asked about Vic Fangio's job security if the Broncos were to lose out or otherwise finish with a worse record than last season. While Kliss stated he didn't want to get into hypothetical situations about how bad the Broncos would have to be down the stretch for things to possibly change, he stated pretty affirmatively that Fangio will be back in 2021, mostly reinforcing the notion that the Broncos know they can't be nor do they want to be known as a franchise that hires a new head coach every 2 years. He also stated those within the organization really like Fangio and still believe he's the right person to lead the players.
I have mixed feelings on this. I like Fangio because he seems like a tough-as-nails, old school-type coach. I wasn't thrilled about the hire initially but I definitely like his personality and the team does play hard for him. I also feel you can't have the same people who hired Fangio (i.e. Elway and Ellis) also fire him as well as hire a new coach. And yes, this team needs some semblance of continuity that they've sorely lacked over the last 4 years.
Having said that, this team is so bad and I think the rest of the teams in the division are on the rise. I just don't feel Fangio is savvy or creative enough to overcome that without serious help. I'm also not convinced that Fangio is anything other than a really excellent defensive coordinator.
Anyway, here's the link for those interested in listening to it and drawing their own conclusions from it. Mike Kliss is pretty much the Adam Schefter of the Broncos so I believe he's correct in his assertion:
