He probably knows Manning is gone, and he is too old build a team from scratch - just like Jimmy Johnson when he was in Miami or Bill Parcels when he was in Dallas.

Elway needs to step down. He’s in over his head.

John Fox is leaving the the Denver Broncos after four seasons as head coach. Fox is coming off a 12-4 season during which the Broncos earned the AFC's No. 2 seed...The two sides "mutually agreed to part ways," according to Adam Schefter.

That's pretty amazing. A head coach who brought his team to the playoffs the past 3 years straight, including a Super Bowl?

Big mistake, IMHO. Denver will be nothing next year.

Well at least Manning got us as far as Tebow did.

You know pro football far better than me, but what you say has the ring of truth to it.

I think too many of us expected a lot more of Manning and the Broncos this year after their collapse in the Superbowl.

Apparently a lot was going on that came to a head this year.

It is not the coach’s fault if the players blow it. They just didn’t try hard enough.

Manning was hurt for over a month and his teammates knew it, hence the lackluster showing yesterday.

Manning needs to think through if he can recover from the injury and be worth anything next year with a blown up team.

Tall order for a 38 year old QB in the NFL.

In comparison to his first two seasons with the Broncos, IMO Manning didn't demonstrate a great deal of energy this year. The only reason he hasn't retired so far is the lack of a Super Bowl win, but he now has the touchdown passing record to make up for it. With big changes coming to the Broncos lineup next year, I can see Manning deciding to retire.

Who is available who can do better? Shanahan again?

Keep the 'nationwide is on my side' jingle in your head for the following:

Man I'm getting way too old..
so much for the Superbowl..
Depth perceptions out of line
Over throw it every time....

YMMV.... ;)

I think Manning wants to come back, but didn’t want Fox there.

NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Monday that Elway spoke to his entire coaching staff -- including Gase and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio -- to inform them they have the permission to look elsewhere despite being under contract. Elway said the next head coach will have the power to pick his own staff.

The possibility of a total housecleaning is very real.

With John Fox out, what's next for Denver Broncos?

They are getting heaps of karma from the way they treated Tebow.

Actually given its QB, the Broncos are a a team built to lose early in the playoffs.

Real sad end for the Broncos. Manning’s body just couldn’t go where his mind wanted it to. When the Sheriff gave out, everyone else did too. They fought long and hard and the wheels came off a little too soon. Hard to watch. Manning has a HUGE heart for the game. His body let him down.

You only have so many years to make it in the NFL. It’s just the way it is. We’re rebuilding now. Gonna be awhile before we have a great team again. Oh - and Elway has done a great job. The clock just ran out on Manning a bit too soon...sigh.

Fox won’t be unemployed for long if he so chooses. New York and Chicago immediately spring to mind.

If 12-4 is considered not good enough then good luck finding a replacement to fill those gigantic shoes. Reminds me of how every Bama coach was expected to be as good as the Bear was. Didn’t work for years until Nick Satan came along.

12-4 Divisional winner with a bye week coming off a Super Bowl appearance and your starting QB had a strain quad, hmmm. Elway and Fox must have been good buddies
