John Fox Named Broncos Coach

Filed under: Broncos, NFL Coaching

John Fox has been named the new head coach of the Denver Broncos, the team said Thursday.

The announcement was made by John Elway, the team's vice president of football operations who has been leading the search for the the replacement to the fired Josh McDaniels.

Elway made the announcement on his official Twitter account, a day after he and other team executives interviewed Fox at the Broncos' Dove Valley, Colo., headquarters.

"Coach Fox is a great fit for us, not only with his coaching ability, but also with his personality," Elway wrote on Twitter. "He is a dynamic and prove leader who will energize our entire organization."

Fox was Carolina's head coach for nine seasons, taking over a 1-15 team that he led to a Super Bowl appearance two years later; Carolina lost the title game to New England. Fox brings a 73-71 regular-season record -- all with Carolina -- with him to Denver. He has a 5-3 record in the postseason.

His contract with the Panthers wasn't renewed after injury-plagued Carolina finished the year an NFL-worst 2-14.
