The Denver Broncos have fired Vic Fangio after a 7-10 finish. The Broncos have now missed the playoffs for six straight seasons. 

"For the last three seasons, Vic has put his heart and soul into coaching the Broncos," CEO Joe Ellis said in a statement. "I want to thank Coach Fangio for giving his maximum effort to our organization since the day he was hired.

"George will have full authority to select the next head coach of the Broncos. This is his decision and his program. I have complete confidence in George's ability to lead an exhaustive and successful head coaching search.

"We will give George every available resource and fully support him in hiring the very best head coach to lead the Broncos."

The Broncos fired Vance Joseph as head coach after the 2018 season.
