ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio knows his future is a growing topic of conversation, but Monday he said he believes he "absolutely'' deserves a chance to be back in 2022.
Fangio is in the third year of the four-year deal he signed when he was hired in 2019. The Broncos were squarely in the AFC's playoff hunt, at 6-5, when December began, but have lost three of the last four games, having scored 10 and 13 points in their last two losses.
Fangio was asked Monday, in the wake of Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, when the Broncos gained just 158 yards in total offense, if he thought he deserved to be back in '22 and, if so, would he coach the final year of his deal without an extension.
