Broncos Fire Head Coach Vic Fangio

Longtime NFL Defensive Coordinator Departs Denver After Three Losing Seasons

Fangio's Dismissal Caps a Disappointing Tenure Marked by Lackluster Results

DENVER, Colo. - The Denver Broncos have fired head coach Vic Fangio after three consecutive losing seasons, the team announced Sunday morning. The move comes as no surprise, as Fangio's tenure in Denver has been marked by disappointment and underachievement.

Fangio, a longtime NFL defensive coordinator, was hired by the Broncos in 2019 with the hopes of turning around a struggling franchise. However, the team has failed to meet expectations under his leadership, going 19-30 in three seasons.

The Broncos finished 7-10 in 2021, their third consecutive losing season. The team's offense struggled mightily, ranking near the bottom of the league in several key statistical categories. Fangio's defense, once his calling card, also showed signs of regression in 2021.

Fangio's firing is the latest in a series of changes for the Broncos. The team also fired general manager John Elway earlier this year. The Broncos are now in search of a new head coach and general manager to lead the franchise into the future.
