ENGLEWOOD, Colo -- Hello, football America: Here comes Vic Fangio.
The first-year Denver Broncos coach has more than three decades of NFL experience on his résumé, but Monday night's game against the Oakland Raiders marks his first as the head man.
And underneath that trademark sweatshirt, he is a fast-walking, straight-talking, I-don't-like-neckties paradox. He's 61 years old, meaning all of his current players weren't even born when he first walked the sideline. He has made 13 coaching stops -- from Dunmore (Pennsylvania) High School in 1979 to Denver today -- and earned each and every worry line around his eyes.
