PrintThe 'SportsGuru' over at our fine Denver Broncos' blog, Mile High Report, asked me for some thoughts on Steve Spagnuolo, whom we know is on the list of potential candidates for the Broncos' head coaching job.
Here is some of what I wrote.
Tom Coughlin has done a great many wonderful things since becoming head coach of the New York Giants in 2004. Probably the best thing he has ever done is to hire Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator two seasons ago. ...
We would love to keep Spags in New York. At Big Blue View we have often talked about him becoming 'head coach in waiting' and succeeding Coughlin. But, TC is not going anywhere in the near future so, realistically, we know that won't happen.
You can see all of what I wrote over at Mile High Report.

Nice work over there, Ed.
Still, you (like most people who don’t live here) overstate the weather issues in Denver. We get our occassional gigantic snowfall, but mostly the weather is pretty good here, and even when there is some precip, it’s almost never as nasty as the swirling/icy/grey days the east coast gets. That’s why Denver has succeeded with pass-heavy offenses like they currently have. Plus playing in San Diego and Oakland every year doesn’t hurt on that point.
Ultimately though, I agree with you that Denver was at its very best with a run-first attack and I agree with you that Spags would most likely want to go that way, but who really knows?
I just hope Spags doesn’t decide to tfly out here and check things out because he’d probably like it!
Save the neck for me, Clark.
...and Giants fans will be forced to hate you.
Nice little caveat there Ed :)
The Giants are supposed to be coming to Denver next year.
I’ve been looking forward to that for a couple of years now. So I can hate them in person, if I have to.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Did you guys notice
They have a poll for who they want to be the next coach, and Spags is winning by an overwhelming margin?
I voted for Jim Fassel, me and 2 other guys, probably Fassel and………..Elway?

You should have analyzed Fassel
10-5-1 first year as coach
NFC title
Almost made Danny Kanell a high school caliber QB
that’s an impressive resume’ right there.

Fassel would have another job by now
if he didn’t look so much like a 5th grade school teacher.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
