clancynut Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) John Elway has ushered in a new era of transparency in Denver. Posting pre-interview videos with coaching candidates and sending out twitters about other candidates. I think this is a really cool way to show the inter workings of the Broncos organization. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/New-Broncos-organization-reaching-out-in-unique-?urn=nfl-306025 Edited January 11, 2011 by wnybillsfan11
Green Lightning Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Maybe that's why everyone is bailing on a HC interview there.
Fastro Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I just ran across this article and thought I would share the link. I like the new approach the Broncos and Elway have to doing business and wish the Bills would follow suit. It would be interesting to get more insight into how the organization thinks. Enjoy the read. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/New-Broncos-organization-reaching-out-in-differe?urn=nfl-306025
jr1 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 It's cool they're reaching out with the social networking sites
Fastro Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 It's cool they're reaching out with the social networking sites It's great to get insight into what management thinks. I am not sure the Bill's would follow suit since most of their upper level management is a little bit older than the current social networking generation.
Doc Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Sounds great...until Elway twitters a pic of his junk. Edited January 11, 2011 by Doc
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Very cool, but why did two candidates( former Bills HCs) withdraw their interviews? I'm not buying that need to prepare my team for the playoff stuff, you have a shot at head coach you take it period.
HansLanda Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I get the whole social media thing, but this is just asking for trouble one way or another. I'll be here with my popcorn tho.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Sounds great...until Elway twitters a pic of his junk. and then blames it on a hacker.
boyst Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I have to imagine this is not going to work out in the long run; it seems like a schtick for PR and nothing more.
BillsVet Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Maybe that's why everyone is bailing on a HC interview there. Something is wrong whenever top coordinators refuse to interview for a HC position. I think the issue in Denver is Pat Bowlen is now far less of a presence than he used to be. Two years later, he realized this was a mistake and re-ordered the situation by hiring the most famous Bronco of them all in Elway. Aside from the age difference, this decision is similar to RW hiring Marv. Both men were respected in their most famous roles, but neither were trained to handle personnel. I think this is one of the reasons people are refusing to interview because a HC needs someone above them who is experienced in personnel.
