ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos have fired coach Josh McDaniels, who went 5-17 after winning his first six games last year.

There was no immediate word on who will succeed McDaniels, 34, whose hiring by team owner Pat Bowlen is now viewed as a monumental mistake.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth told The Associated Press: "We can confirm that coach Josh McDaniels has been relieved of his head coaching duties." He was working on further details.

The firing came down after the Broncos players had dispersed for the day.

Earlier Monday, McDaniels said he was reluctant to turn to rookie Tim Tebow even though the Broncos (3-9) had been eliminated from the playoff race Sunday with their seventh loss in eight games.

McDaniels, 34, made a series of personnel blunders, notably trading away Peyton Hillis, who has become a power running back in Cleveland, and he also was fined $50,000 by the NFL for failing to report a subordinate who violated league rules by videotaping a San Francisco 49ers practice in London on Oct. 30

RB coach Eric Studeville will be the interim HC. Damn, I didn't see this coming TODAY.
I don't hate the guy. If he just coached, and not be involved in personnel decisions, maybe things would've been different. While I certainly questioned his decisions and some play calling, I LOVED his passion. But, he was just plain inexperienced. I wish him well.

Now. Gimme Gruden.

As a Browns fan I want to thank him for giving the Browns Peyton Hillis in exchange for Brady Quinn.

That is one trade I am REALLY pissed about. But rumor has it that Hillis hit on Mrs. McD, not knowing who she was. Not sure if they hooked up or not. But it explains SO MUCH.

Goddamn, my Twitter feed is blowing the fuck up.

Funny he wound up in Cleveland then, as last year Delonte West was laying the pipe to LeBron Jame's mother lol!

Colorado

State of assholes.

But they don't mind repeatedly paying $6000 an elbow for purples

Fuck that faggoty raggedy ass Broncos coach. I remember his bitch ass running down the field celebrating like a bitch last year.

Broncos, GET OFF OUR LAND!



See all them dead horses on the field? Hilarious!

Gee Skate, you're not still pissed about the blowout in Denver a few weeks ago?
Haley is a faggoty faggot bitch faggoli!

HALEY MIGHT BE A FAGGOTY FAGGOT BITCH FAGGOLI, we haven't quite decided yet.

I am fucking INFURIATED at the loss to Denver, yes. We're rivals, what can I say? We won, Chargers lost to the Gayders so we're all good. Now we have to play those pussy Chargers IN SD next week so that's gonna be a knock down drag out. I can only pray the Bowe will not drop passes.

Hate to say it, but I was seekritly rooting for the Gayders, cuz I love a good Phyllis Rivers beatdown. But it still left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll be rooting for you dumbasses next week I guess.

I noticed Bowe had 0 catches yesterday. Champ is CHAMP! But yeah, scoreboard. Asshole. We got 'Zona next week. Should be a fuckin' barnburner.

I can take that, I can take anything anybody wants to give me. You know why? 'Cause I'm a Chiefs fan and being one fucking sucks. (usually)

Probably wanted to hire that dumbass as an offensive coach or some shit.

What a dick. Keep your cool when you win.

Tawny, I'm also surprised the owner fired him today. I thought they would probably let him finish out the season.

No fucking way Gruden goes to Denver. They could give him a blank check and tell him to fill in the amount, but it ain't gonna happen.

Fucking hell!

Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Broncos will be paying THREE head coaches in 2011.

When the Broncos fired Shanahan after the 2008 season, he was still owed $21 million for 3 years remaining, and McDaniels will be owed $7 million for 2 years left on his contract, plus whatever they pay their new head coach in 2011.

D'OH!

We still have a ton of people here in Chicago that think the Bears should have kept Orton and the picks. Until you bring up that he's like 9-25 in Denver.

Aren't the Broncos off the hook for Shanahan now that the Skins are paying him?

Yeah. Bowlen has the deep pockets though. Gotta pay the pipers.

I did hear he was quoted as saying that if he were to come back to the NFL, the only teams he'd be interested in are Dallas, SF, and Denver. And he LOVES Tebow. Wishful thinking, probably. But that would be awesome.

Then again, I just want a HC that just coaches, and have another guy make personnel decisions. This absolute power thing is bullshit.

I'm glad the fake ass wonder kid got the axe. His smug, Belicheckian attitude drove me up the wall and made me cuss at my television. Plus, the fucker had those eyes that were way too close together. You know he'll lick the hoodie lint off of Belicheck's taint to come back to the Pats.

No way he is coming back. After the incident with the videotaping a few weeks ago and the comments he made regarding New England there is no way in hell Belichick will take him back.

Maybe P13 can be the new coach of the Broncos seeing how he has done such a great job with the Colts.

Bastard.

I keep hearing things about Troy Calhoun, Air Force's coach. And he has worked for the organization before, under Shanny.

I heard Herm "You play to win the game" Edwards is available

NO SHIT! I fucking SEETHE when I see that punk bitch. Dude couldn't win to save his life and then he gets a goddamn spot on TV to comment on a sport he knows nothing about? I'll kill that motherfucker!

Urban Meyer to Florida: See Ya Later, Gators

Urban Meyer has just stepped down as the head football coach at the University of Florida ... where he won two national championships since he took the job in 2005.

It's unclear why Meyer quit the Florida gig -- but his most famous alum, Tim Tebow, is now coachless over in Denver.

We're just sayin ...
