Broncos fire Fangio after three seasons

-

The Broncos are looking for a new head coach to lead them out of a six-year playoff drought and a half decade of losing seasons that marks the most protracted plunge by a Super Bowl champion in NFL history.

The Broncos fired head coach Vic Fangio, 63, after he went 19-30 over three years, including 7-10 this season.

Fangio’s .387 winning percentage included a 6-11 mark at home over the last two seasons, the worst two-year stretch for the Broncos since they went 4-10 in 1967-68.

The new coach will be the Broncos’ fifth in nine years.
