:wacko:

Oh, that's right. They don't have one yet do they? After Jim Bates 'stepped down" earlier this year, I can find no articles that say if the Broncs hired someone else, or are even looking. Shanny does such a wonderful job of handling everything else, I'm sure he can take care of the DC duties as well.

 

Seriously though.......did they hire anybody and I just can't find a link?

Bates wasnt technically the D-Coord last year....he was Asst Head Coach- Defense

Slowik was the actual D-Coord last year too.

 

but bates was the one calling the shots

Slowik is the next one to get the axe because of Shanahan's complete ineptitude in evaluating front 7 D players and drafting more than 1 actual playmaker at any of those positions in the past 5 years.

 

wasn't everyone they brought in last year basically hand-picked by bates?

Here, let's go back even further. These are the D players selected in the draft since the last SB year - the guys who ought to be the backbone of the team's D unit, with a good mix of vets & up and coming young players:

Does anyone wonder why DEN's D - what used to be its pride & joy - sucks so incredibly badly with little hope in sight?

 

:wacko: at blaming this on any D coordinator. You can't make chicken salad out of chickenschist.
