Most fans know the incredible success the Broncos have had in the past 40 years: the three world championships, the eight Super Bowl appearances, the 10 AFC Championship games, the 15 AFC West titles and the 22 playoff berths.
But before Red Miller came here as head coach, the totals in each of those categories were zero.
None.
But when Miller arrived in 1977 for that magical season, he changed everything for the Broncos, and he changed it forever.
He was the first Broncos head coach to reach those lofty goals and created a standard of excellence that now may be taken for granted in the Mile High City.
