Vic Fangio is finally getting a shot at being head coach

The Denver Broncos are set to make old friend Vic Fangio their next head coach. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport are both reporting that a deal is done, with Schefter reporting it is a four year contract with a team option for the fifth year. After 33 years as an NFL assistant, and 19 years as an NFL defensive coordinator, Fangio is getting his shot.

Fangio spent four years with the 49ers, and during that time he had three seasons with a top five defense. He joined the Bears in 2015, and progressively improved that defense.
