NFL Coaching Vacancies Filled in Mile High and LeBronless

It's not necessary to put both of these coaching hires in a separate blog.  Why not do them both in one. I like one of the hires very much, but the other one I am not so sure about.

Denver Broncos:  The Fightin' Tim Tebows have hired John Fox as their new coach.  This is an excellent hire for the Broncos even though Fox went 2-14 with Carolina last season. What people will forget is how badly the Panthers management treated Fox.  They never re-signed good players, and relied on Jake Delhomme for far too long. Fox always seemed like a guy who can beat up on the weaker part of the NFL, and never be very strong against the big boys. The reason for saying that is Fox never had consecutive winning seasons.  It will be interesting to see what he does with Tim Tebow.  I hope he starts him next year, but I could totally see them going with Kyle Orton or a street free agent.

Cleveland Browns: The Walrus also known as Mike Holmgren decided to go with Pat Shurmur, the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams.  The last name should sound familiar to Packer fans as his Uncle Fitz was Holmgren's defensive coordinator during the 1996 Super Bowl year and many more. Pat Shurmur helped the careers of Sam Bradford and Donovan McNabb in their early stages, and Cleveland hopes he can do the same with Colt McCoy.  He also runs a West Coast offense close to what The Walrus did in Green Bay and Seattle.  
       This is a first time hire, but the Browns could off and running if they add some help in the off season. They have a solid quarterback and running back combination plus if they add A.J. Green from Georgia, it would provide a bright future on the offensive side of the ball. In my opinion, The Walrus and Tom Heckert (the General Manager) wanted somebody they could work with and knew wouldn't cause them any problems.  It's an interesting, but good choice today, we will see come November.
