+++ Update, 9 January, 16:30: Broncos kick Fangio out +++

It had been hinted at, now it’s happened: The Denver Broncos have fired head coach Vic Fangio. “We have parted ways with Vic Fangio,” the Colorado franchise tweeted succinctly at 16:24 German time on Sunday afternoon.

The 63-year-old had failed to lead the Broncos to the playoffs in three years and always ended the season with a negative record. The Broncos’ problem at the quarterback position also persists, with neither Drew Lock nor Teddy Bridgewater seemingly having any prospects for the future.

The hottest candidate for the Broncos’ head coach position is now Dan Quinn, currently defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys.
