As much as some players are used to being coddled by their coaches, Broncos head coach Vic Fangio uses a different method. Nobody gets special treatment, including the team's franchise pass rusher Von Miller.

So when the media asked him if any of this would cause a rift or mean that they don't get along, Miller said that this idea is “crazy.” He also adds that there is “no other coach I’d rather have right now to be pushing myself to be the best outside linebacker I could possibly be.”

“We’re teammates at the end of the day,” Miller said via the Denver Post. It’s not a situation where we’ll go out and drink beers and have movie night, no we don’t do that. But when it comes to ball, and me being a better football player, and he seeing the best out of me — I know that he wants to see me be great and push me in the [right] direction to make sure I’m a better player, and I can appreciate that.”

At times, coaches will use tough love to improve their players' play to a greater level. This is something that Fangio has implemented from all of his time in the pros from San Francisco to Chicago to now.

His coaching philosophy should work for the long run as the first-year head coach is starting to see results from his team after they earned their first win of the season last week. Now with that first win under his belt, there should be some praise coming soon to the rest of his players.
