On Tuesday, Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio made controversial comments, including saying that he “doesn't see racism in the NFL.”

As expected, Fangio's remarks caused a stir and have received significant backlash.

Fangio tried to clear things up on Wednesday, issuing an apology via the Broncos' Twitter account:

“After reflecting on my comments yesterday and listening to the players this morning, I realize what I said regarding racism and discrimination in the NFL was wrong. While I have never personally experienced those terrible things first-hand during my 33 years in the NFL, I understand that many players, coaches and staff have different perspectives. I should have been more clear and I am sorry.”

Fangio went on to say that he was initially talking about the locker-room dynamics when he made the comments:

“I wanted to make the point yesterday that there was no color within the locker rooms. As the head coach, I look forward to listening to the players — both individually and collectively — to support them and work hand-in-hand to create meaningful change.”

The 61-year-old landed his first NFL coaching job back in 1986, when he took over as linebackers coach for the New Orleans Saints. He spent nine years there before taking the Carolina Panthers' defensive coordinator job in 1995.

Since then, Fangio has served as a defensive coordinator for five different NFL franchises, most recently doing so for the Chicago Bears from 2015 through 2018.

Following a very successful stint with the Bears, Fangio was hired as the head coach of the Broncos last offseason.

He went 7-9 in his first season at the helm in Denver.
