Vic Fangio is hoping to be reputable as a players coach – at least that's what he's integrated with the Denver Broncos.
The recently-hired head coach discussed well-laid plans for the franchise on Saturday.
From Woody Paige of The Gazette:
“What's my goal?” he asked himself. “Obviously, everybody wants to win Super Bowls. But I get a real kick out of seeing players improve and teaching all the little things. I, we, defensive coaches I've been with have been successful with players who were drafted high, and it didn't work out for them with that team. We've gotten them and turned their careers around. I look forward to coaching the low-drafted, undrafted young men. I like the relationships with the players. I'm not a guy who gets buddy-buddy with a player. I'm not going to chest-bump a player, and I don't think I will here, but maybe someday I'll get excited and do it. But my approach with the players lasts a long time. One of the most gratifying things about getting this job was getting phone calls and texts from players going back to the 1980s. I've had a great relationship with players without being their buddies. That means a lot of me that they still care.”
Fangio, 60, has ached for a head coaching opportunity throughout his entire 19-year career as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers, and Chicago Bears.
Not only will he have tremendous opportunity to build for a title, but he plans on getting there with great panache.
