The Denver Broncos have slid into a crisis after a strong start to the new season. But coach Vic Fangio remains calm – for now.

Munich – After four losses in a row, things are getting uncomfortable for Vic Fangio in Denver. Even the three wins in a row to start the season don’t count for much anymore.

The mechanisms of the business are inexorable: If the balance is shaky, the coach’s chair is shaky.

But Fangio remains emphatically calm despite the recent negative series. “I’m not worried about my coaching status,” Fangio said, according to the Associated Press. “I’m worried about the team and doing everything we can to train our guys to play better. And that’s my only focus.”

Most recently, the Broncos lost 14-17 to the Cleveland Browns in Thursday Night Football in Week 7. The coach was particularly critical of his defence, which at the moment only shines on paper as the best-paid defence in the league – on the field it is far from showing its potential with a 25.25 point average allowed. But there are also problems in the offence around quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Fangio admits: “Bad coaching “

Fangio, however, is not only composed but also self-critical.

“The most worrying thing is that we lacked fundamentals in this game, especially defensively. And then that’s bad coaching,” said Fangio, who has a 15-24 record since taking charge ahead of the 2019 season. “And that starts with me. We have to do a better job of teaching and executing the basic things. “

Failing that, he too is likely to start worrying about his job.
