Is it too early to speculate on replacements for Vic Fangio?
Not if you’ve kept up with betting markets. The oddsmakers over at BetOnline released a prop bet about what NFL head coach will be fired first, and as I write this, the Broncos’ Vic Fangio is tied for the best odds with the Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy.
If you’ve kept up with my recent work, you’ll know I’m of the mind that Fangio deserves a fair shot at 2022. I’m not here to argue that point, however. Since George Paton was first hired, there’s been speculation from the Broncos’ flagshig Fangio would provide his new boss what amounts to a “freebie” year, and serve as the scapegoat if Drew Lock flubs again.
