THE PAUL D. BOWLEN MEMORIAL BRONCOS CENTREOn March 5, 1990, the Denver Broncos moved into the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre, the state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Football League team. The complex is named for the Broncos owners late father and is the culmination of Pat Bowlens desire to maximize a positive working environment for his football team, which captured back-to-back World Championships with victories in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII. During the offseasons leading up to the 2004 and 2005 campaigns, the Broncos made significant upgrades to the facility to make it one of the elite training centers in all of professional sports. The Broncos spent much of the 2005 offseason completely renovating and redesigning their locker room while adding several state-ofthe-art features to the spacious area. The club installed brand new maplewood lockers that are 8.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. All locker stalls include power and data outlets that provide high-speed Internet access. Additionally, the general layout of the locker room was enhanced to bring offensive and defensive players closer together while at the same time efficiently utilizing the size of the area. This improvement in 2005 came one year after the club invested $4 million to the facility in an expansion project that significantly upgraded several areas of the complex. That construction project included: The Broncos Conditioning Center, which houses the teams weight room and an indoor conditioning area along with a new home for the field-maintenance departments. The weight room is nearly three times the size of the previous one at approximately 9,000 square feet, which gives the Broncos one of the most comfortable strength-and-conditioning environments in professional sports. The indoor conditioning areacovered with FieldTurf, which the team also uses on one of its three outdoor practice fieldsspans approximately 18,000 square feet. A training room that increased in size with additional hot and cold tubs for players use. An eating lounge that seats approximately 120, allowing the team to conveniently handle the food-service needs of players, coaches and staff during training camp and throughout the year. The lounge is part of the existing building, taking over the space previously occupied by the weight room. The Broncos facilitysituated on 13.5 acres in the rapidly expanding Dove Valley Business Park in south Arapahoe Countyalso includes an administrative building and three full-size practice fields to go along with the Conditioning Center. The Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre is a two-story building totaling 90,000 square feet, well over three times the size of the teams previous facility. The ground floor houses the main entry, visitors area, trophy display area and media room in addition to the football-related facilities, which encompass the locker room, meeting rooms, training area, equipment room and video department. It is on the second level, which is accessible through two stairways adjacent to the lobby area, that most of the administrative offices are located. These include the offices for Pat Bowlen, Joe Ellis, John Elway and John Fox as well as those of all assistant coaches and football operations personnel. The second floor is divided into one wing for administrative offices and another for coaches and player personnel. The Broncos extensive computer operation also is located on the second floor. The Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre also includes a separate building that houses two racquetball courts for training and leisure use by players and staff members as well as a team store. There is ample practice space available for use by the Broncos on the three outdoor fieldstwo with natural grass surfaces and one with FieldTurf, completed in June 2003. FieldTurf is a synthetic blade surface with a rubber and sand infill. One of the two grass fields has a unique design system that includes underground wiring to prevent the turf from freezing and thus allows the Broncos to practice year-round on unfrozen natural grass.7

PAT BOWLENOWNERAND

CEO

at Bowlen enters his 29th year as Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Broncos in 2012, and his tenure of ownership is indelibly stamped as one of the most successful periods for any team in National Football League history. Still the only two-decade owner of a major league sports team in Colorado history, Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that is one of the crown jewels among NFL clubs. By any definition, the Broncos are at the pinnacle of professional sports franchises. The Denver Broncos are the soul of the city, Mr. Bowlen serves as the owner and steward of this sterling franchise, and the legend of both team and owner are marked by achievement and success at every level. Whether judged by the measure of wins and championships, attendance, national television exposure, or by his and the Broncos reputation locally and throughout the NFL, there are few parallels in the world of professional sports. The Broncos have grown from being Denvers first major league franchise in 1960 to Colorados state religion, and Mr. Bowlens focus in 2012 is to bring another World Championship to the Rocky Mountain region. His status and reputation as an owner were recognized within the state on April 10, 2007, when Mr. Bowlen was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. The Broncos CEO has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamic leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the city of Denver, the state of Colorado or the National Football League. He presides over a franchise that by any standard has been one of the NFLs most successful in his more than two decades of club ownership (1984-2012). The Broncos have averaged nearly 10 wins per season in Mr. Bowlens 28 years of ownership by posting 279 overall victories, including 263 regular-season wins that rank second in the AFC (3rd in the NFL) during that span. The Broncos five Super Bowl appearances, including back-to-back Super Bowl wins during the 1997-98 seasons, under Mr. Bowlen are tied for the second-highest total in the NFL. Denver also is the only team to record 90-plus wins in each of the last three decades while finishing with the fewest losing seasons (5) in the NFL since Mr. Bowlen became owner in 1984. In addition, Denvers 272 national television appearances under Mr. Bowlen are the most in the league. That total includes a league-high 158 prime-time games as well as 114 appearances as part of network doubleheaders. For many years, Mr. Bowlens reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nationally. In 1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000, ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlen finished first among all NFL owners with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast. Mr. Bowlen has been well respected for many years by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, and that announcement triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen family acquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlen owns a minority interest in the Broncos. Mr. Bowlen immediately put his own mark on the Broncos, establishing a solid administration and creating a positive atmosphere that was a major factor in the teams success both on and off the field. Champions are built from the top, and Pat Bowlen is a model of leadership in the scope of his drive and commitment. I want us to be number one in everything, Mr. Bowlen has often said in a recurring theme that marks his management style. Everyone knows that it is the owner who provides the financial backing that is integral to a championship team, but many fans are unaware that much of the heart, soul and drive of this championship organization come directly from Pat Bowlen. He has made all of his managerial moves with one goal in mindto aggressively position the Denver Broncos for another run at a Super Bowl championship. No one sets higher standards for10

the Broncos than Pat Bowlen himself, whose goals have always been to have his franchise regarded among the finest in pro sports with victory being the measuring stick for that success. Thus, the ultimate goal of this dynamic and energetic chief executive remains firmly set on repeating the World Championship seasons of 1997 and 1998. Below is a summary of the Denver Broncos success during Mr. Bowlens ownership (1984-2012): The Denver Broncos won back-to-back World Championships in 1997 (Super Bowl XXXII vs. the Green Bay Packers 31-24) and 1998 (Super Bowl XXXIII vs. the Atlanta Falcons 34-19). Denver became the sixth NFL franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls, joining Green Bay, Miami, Pittsburgh (twice), San Francisco and Dallas. The Broncos became the first AFC team to do it in two decades. New England has since become the seventh franchise to do so. When the Broncos won Super Bowl XXXII, they were the first AFC team to win in 14 years and just the second wild card team to win a Super Bowl under the NFLs present playoff system. The Broncos own AFC Championships under Pat Bowlen in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997 and 1998. Denver was the only AFC franchise to make three Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s. Denver ranks fourth in the NFL in overall wins (279), third in regular-season wins (263), tied for second in Super Bowl appearances (5), fourth in conference championship game appearances (7) and tied for fifth in playoff appearances (14). The Broncos have dominated the AFC Western Division by posting more division titles (9), conference championship game appearances (7) and Super Bowl appearances (5) than any other club in the division. In addition to winning nine division titles, Mr. Bowlens franchise has had regular-season win totals of 14, 13 (three times), 12 (twice), 11 (four times) and 10 (three times). Thirteen of the 14 best years in team history have come during Mr. Bowlens ownership. The Broncos won an NFL-record seven postseason games in a two-year period (1997-1998). The Broncos had 33 wins over a two-year period (1997-1998), at that time the most in football history. The Broncos had an NFL-record 46 wins over a three-year period (1996-1998). The Broncos became the second team in modern NFL history to go undefeated during regularseason play at home for three consecutive seasons (1996-1998). His 1997-1998 teams performed the astonishing feat of going nearly an entire calendar year without a defeat (12/15/97-12/13/98), at that time a league-record 18 consecutive wins. In 1998, Denver won a franchise-record 17 games (14 in the regular season), including a 13-0 start that resulted in Denver going nearly an entire calendar year without a loss. The Broncos have the best home record (170-68 / .714) in pro football over the past 28 years. The Broncos have had just five losing seasons compared to their 16 winning seasons. Pat Bowlen also has enjoyed tremendous off-the-field success as well. In Mr. Bowlens 28 years of ownership, the Broncos have played 28 postseason games, all of which have been sold out. The Broncos have sold out every game during Mr. Bowlens ownership for a streak of 238 consecutive games (regular season and postseason) that is the third-longest such streak in the league. Denver has led the NFL in attendance during Mr. Bowlens 28-year period as owner. The Broncos have drawn nearly 20 million fans to their home games from 1984-2011, marking the highest total in the NFL. Mr. Bowlen ushered in a new era in Denver Broncos football history in 2001 when the state-ofthe-art Sports Authority Field at Mile High opened. Mr. Bowlen contributed more than $150 million to the construction of the new stadium. Mr. Bowlen has worked closely with the Broncos personnel department in maintaining the clubs roster in the era of free agency that has resulted in unprecedented player stability. In addition to his role with the Broncos, Mr. Bowlen was a key figure in securing the leagues labor and TV contracts. He served as co-chair of the powerful NFL Management Council Executive Committee from 2001-11 and remains a member of the prestigious NFL Broadcasting Committee, which he formerly chaired. He also is on the NFL Compensation Committee, the NFL Network Committee, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Committee and Los Angeles Working Group Committee. In his role as Chair of the NFL Broadcast Committee, Mr. Bowlen was responsible for the negotiations on the NFLs $18 billion TV contract, the most lucrative single-sport contract in history.11

He was responsible for the Broncos headquarters, the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Centre, a 90,000 square foot modern office and training facility located on the teams 13.5 acre complex in Dove Valley, Arapahoe County. The facility is named after Pat Bowlens father, and the Broncos moved into the building on March 5, 1990. Over the past eight offseasons, an extensive remodeling and expansion plan was implemented, assuring that the team headquarters would remain at the top level of NFL training facilities. Pat Bowlen was born in Praire du Chien, Wis., where he attended high school. He went on to the University of Oklahoma, earning degrees in both business (1965) and law (1968). After successful careers in oil, gas and real estate, he purchased the Denver Broncos in 1984. He is chairman of the board of Denver Broncos Charities and in that capacity has donated more than $25 million to charitable organizations in the Denver area since the inception of that fund in 1993. Mr. Bowlen served as the Honorary Chairman of the Colorado Special Olympics for 19 years and was the organizations Outstanding Celebrity in 1993. Mr. Bowlen has served as the Honorary Chairman of the Stadium Stampede (formerly the Colorado Family Classic) to benefit St. Josephs Hospital Foundation for 28 years, and this is his 18th year as Honorary Chairman of the Capuchin Friars Brown Robe Benefit fundraising dinner. He also chaired the 1989 Centennial Scholarship rally at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and was Co-Chairman of the Rose Medical Center Critical Care Campaign from 1986-89. In addition, Mr. Bowlen was elected to the University of Denver Board of Trustees in 1987. He is currently a member of the DU Athletic Affairs Committee. His previous DU committee memberships include the Institutional Advancement Committee and Institutional Advancement/University Relations subcommittee. He also was named to the Colorado Academy Board of Trustees in 1991. He has been a member of the American Ireland Fund Dinner Committee for the past 21 years and a Trustee for the Irish Community Center for 10 years. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Hawaii Maritime Center and was the 1992 honoree at the American Ireland Fund Dinner. Mr. Bowlen is a member of several other clubs and societies, including the Alberta Bar Association and the Law Society of Alberta. He also was a member of the Young Presidents Organization. Mr. Bowlen maintains an active lifestyle and exercises extensively as part of his daily regimen. He has competed in the Ironman Triathlonan event in which one must swim 2.4 miles, ride 112 miles on a bicycle and run 26.2 miles, all consecutivelyas well as in other triathlon races and several marathons.

JOHN ELWAYEXECUTIVE V . .POF

FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

ohn Elway, a dynamic leader with experience guiding organizations to World Championships as both a player and executive, enters his second season as Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Denver Broncos in 2012. He was named to that position by Owner Pat Bowlen on Jan. 5, 2011. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame following a magnificent 16-year playing career with the Broncos from 1983-98 that included five Super Bowl appearances and two championships, Elway is responsible for overseeing all football operations initiatives for the Broncos. He directs all aspects of the teams player acquisition process, including college scouting research related to the NFL Draft and pro personnel efforts related to free agency. Bringing a competitive and experienced football acumen to Dove Valley, Elway has infused the clubs football operations with a winning culture and a positive approach toward building a championship team. He holds final say on all football-related matters while reporting directly to Bowlen and President Joe Ellis. During his first year in his new role, Elway immediately made his mark as an NFL executive after guiding the Broncos to an historic turnaround in 2011. He assembled a team that became only the third since the 1970 NFL merger to win its division and a playoff game with a new head coach following four or fewer wins the previous season. Elways initial decision leading the Broncos football operations was hiring widely respected NFL veteran John Fox as the 14th head coach in team history on Jan. 13, 2011. Fox proved to be the perfect fit for the Broncos, finishing third in the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year voting after helping the franchise earn its first AFC West title and playoff victory in six seasons. Elway also demonstrated his aptitude for both the NFL Draft and free agency during his first year with the Broncos. His 2011 rookie class accounted for the second-most starts (56) in the league and included linebacker Von Miller, who was named the Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year after becoming the highest draft choice (No. 2 overall) in club history. In free agency, Elway executed arguably the highest profile signing in NFL history when quarterback Peyton Manning, the leagues only four-time MVP, joined with the Broncos on March 21, 2012. He also was responsible for the 2011 re-signing of Champ Bailey, who added to his NFL cornerback-record Pro Bowl total (11) that year, and the addition of running back Willis McGahee, who earned a trip to the Pro Bowl in 2011 after leading the NFLs No. 1 rushing attack. Elway spent the 2010 season working for the Broncos as a consultant on various initiatives after gaining a substantial amount of football operations experience during eight years as co-owner and chief executive officer of the Arena Football Leagues Colorado Crush (2002-09). He ran the day-to-day operations of the Crush from its founding in June 2002, leading the club to an ArenaBowl championship just three years later. Elway was heavily involved in the Crushs business operations, including marketing, promotions and sponsorships, with his efforts resulting in the club being recognized as a premier franchise on and off the field. He was named AFL Executive of the Year in 2003, a year in which the Crush won the Commissioners Award presented annually to the most outstanding AFL franchise, and was honored as co-recipient of the 2005 Founders Award for his contributions to the AFL and its growth. During his time with the Crush, Elway worked closely with Bowlen, who served as one-third owner of the franchise beginning with its inception. He held various committee assignments, including working as co-chair of the AFLs competition committee and chairman of the leagues executive committee beginning in 2007. After the Crush struggled through a 2-14 inaugural season, Elway turned the fortunes of the team around by hiring Mike Dailey as its new head coach. The Crush compiled a 46-34 (.575) mark under Dailey from 2004-08, including a 6-3 record in the postseason, and captured two Central Division titles (2005-06) during his tenure. The pinnacle of Elways time with the Crush came in 2005 when the club won ArenaBowl XIX in just its third year of existence by defeating the Georgia Force 51-48 in the championship game.14

The starting quarterback for the Broncos in an NFL-record five Super Bowls, Elway capped off his tenure as a player for the organization in 1998 by winning Most Valuable Player honors in Super Bowl XXXIII after leading the Broncos to their second consecutive World Championship. He retired as the all-time winningest starting quarterback in NFL history with a career mark of 148-82-1 (.643) while totaling a teamrecord 51,475 passing yards (4th in NFL history) and 300 touchdown passes (5th in NFL history). Always driven by pressure, Elway directed the Broncos on a league-record 47 fourth-quarter or overtime, game-winning or game-saving drives in his legendary career. He also earned a franchise-record nine Pro Bowl selections and was named the Associated Press NFLs Most Valuable Player in 1987. He graduated from Stanford University with a bachelors degree in economics while concluding his collegiate playing career with five major NCAA Division I-A records and nine major Pacific-10 Conference marks. As a senior, Elway was a consensus All-American and finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in addition to setting virtually every Pac-10 and Stanford career passing record en route to being the No. 1 overall selection in the 1983 NFL Draft. Elways late father, Jack, retired from the Broncos in 2000 after seven years with the club, including the last five as the teams director of pro scouting. Born June 28, 1960, John is married (Paige) and has four children: daughters Jessica Gwen (26), Jordan Marie (24) and Juliana (20), and son Jack (22).

JOHN FOXHEAD COACHohn Fox, one of the NFLs most experienced and respected head coaches, enters his second season with the Broncos in 2012 after being named the 14th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 13, 2011. Fox, who has experience on multiple Super Bowl teams and has totaled the fourth-most wins (87) among active NFL head coaches since 2002, joined the Broncos after spending the previous nine seasons (2002-10) as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers. A proven leader known for his positive, energetic coaching style, Fox has appeared in two Super Bowls and three conference championship games as a head coach or defensive coordinator. He has coached 27 players to a total of 51 Pro Bowl selections, including Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Rod Woodson and perennial All-Pros such as cornerback Champ Bailey, safety Brian Dawkins, and defensive ends Julius Peppers and Michael Strahan. In his initial season with Denver in 2011, Fox led the Broncos to their first AFC West title and playoff victory in six years en route to finishing third in the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year voting. He became only the third head coach since the 1970 NFL merger to lead a team to a division title and playoff victory in his first year with a franchise after inheriting a club that won four or fewer games the previous year. Fox guided the Broncos to six consecutive victories following a 1-4 start on their way to capturing the AFC West title along with a playoff victory against the defending AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Showing great resiliency, the Broncos tied an NFL record by winning six games when trailing or tied entering the fourth quarter. Foxs first Broncos team was led by an offense that aver15

aged a club-record and NFL-best 164.5 rushing yards per game along with a defense that posted the clubs highest sack total (41) in 10 years. He worked with six players who went to the Pro Bowl (Denvers highest total in 10 years), including Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller, who led a Broncos rookie class that totaled the second-most starts (56) in the league. Before joining the Broncos, Fox compiled a 73-71 (.507) regular-season record with the Panthers during his nine years as head coach. He led Carolina to three 11-win campaigns, two NFC South Division titles and three playoff appearances. Carolina went 5-3 in the postseason under Fox, appearing in two NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl (XXXVIII during the 2003 season). His four postseason road victories rank third in NFL history behind Pro Football Hall of Fame coaches Tom Landry (7, Dallas) and Joe Gibbs (5, Washington). Foxs defenses ranked among the top eight in the league during five of his nine seasons in Carolina while registering an NFC-high 299 takeaways (3rd in NFL). He was instrumental in improving the Panthers defense from its last-place ranking in 2001 to No. 2 (290.4 ypg.) during his initial campaign as the only defensive unit since the 1970 NFL merger to accomplish that feat. Carolinas defensive upgrade was central to Foxs transformation of the 1-15 team he inherited following the 2001 season to the 7-9 squad he guided in 2002. That improvement marked the thirdbest first-year coaching turnaround in NFL history (Bobby Ross, 1992; Jim Haslett, 2000). His 2003 team finished 11-5 and captured the NFC South crown en route to advancing to Super Bowl XXXVIII, where Carolina lost to New England 32-29. Fox joined Vince Lombardi and Bill Parcells as the only coaches in NFL history to inherit a one-win team and lead it to the postseason in just two years. Carolinas second NFC Championship Game appearance in a span of three seasons came in 2005 after the Panthers finished with the NFLs third-ranked defense (282.6 ypg.) and earned a road win against Atlanta in their season finale to qualify for the playoffs. Foxs team won two more road games in the postseason, shutting out New York, 23-0, and defeating Chicago, 29-21, before losing to the Seahawks in the conference championship game in Seattle. Fox also guided teams with dynamic offensive identities as Carolina produced four individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons (DeAngelo Williams-2, Stephen Davis-1, Jonathan Stewart-1) and seven individual 1,000-yard receiving outputs (Steve Smith-4, Mushin Muhammad-3) during his nine years with the Panthers. Carolina consistently fielded one of the NFLs best rushing attacks under Fox, including a seven-year stretch from 2003-09 when it placed 10th in the league in rushing yards per game (122.9) In addition, quarterback Jake Delhomme recorded four 3,000-yard passing seasons for Carolina, including three consecutive campaigns from 2003-05. The Panthers totaled a franchise-record 12 victories in 2008 behind the NFLs 10th-ranked offense (349.7 ypg.). Williams, who finished with a franchise-record 1,515 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns to earn his first Pro Bowl selection that year, teamed with Stewart to lead a rushing attack that averaged 152.3 yards per game and 30 rushing touchdownsonly the fifth unit since the 1970 NFL merger to equal those totals. In 2007, the Panthers became the first team in more than a decade to win at least one game with four different starting quarterbacks, finishing with a 7-9 record after losing starter Jake Delhomme in the third game with a season-ending elbow injury. Fox guided 15 different Panthers to a total of 28 Pro Bowl selections from 2002-10. Peppers, who was chosen by the Panthers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, earned Associated Press NFL Rookie of the Year honors and was selected to five Pro Bowls (2004-06, 08-09) during his time in Carolina in addition to being named to the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team. Linebacker Jon Beason (2008-10), offensive tackle Jordan Gross (2008, 10), defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (200203, 06), center Ryan Kalil (2009-10) and Smith (2005-06, 08) were among the players who went to multiple Pro Bowls during Foxs time in Carolina. Before his head coaching tenure with the Panthers, Fox spent five seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants from 1997-2001 and led a defense that consistently ranked among the leagues most productive units. New York allowed the seventh-fewest points per game (18.7) in the NFL during that span while also finishing fourth in the league with a plus-25 turnover differential. The Giants totaled 230 sacks in five seasons under Fox, including Strahans NFL-record 22.5 sacks in 2001.16

Fox made an immediate impact upon his arrival in New York, coordinating a defense that led the NFL with a club-record 44 takeaways, including a league-high 27 interceptions. His initial Giants defense held opponents to 20 or fewer points in 12-of-16 games and allowed just 90.7 yards per contest on the ground. The pinnacle of Foxs stretch with the Giants came in the 2000 season when the Giants advanced to Super Bowl XXXV by shutting out the Minnesota Vikings and the NFLs fifth-ranked offense in the NFC Championship Game by a 41-0 margin. Another highlight came during the 1998 season when the Giants defense helped the team win its last four games, including a 20-16 win over John Elway and the eventual Super Bowl-champion Denver Broncos, who entered the contest 13-0 and were held to a season-low point total. Giants linebacker Jessie Armstead made all five of his career Pro Bowls during the five-year period Fox was the teams defensive coordinator while Strahan earned his first four Pro Bowl selections during that time. Fox spent a season as a consultant for the St. Louis Rams in 1996 after two years as the Raiders defensive coordinator (1994-95). His defenses with the Raiders finished in the top half of the league in both of his seasons on staff and were anchored by defensive tackle Chester McGlockton and cornerback Terry McDaniel, each of whom earned Pro Bowl honors in both years under Fox. As a secondary coach for the Chargers from 1992-93 under Bobby Ross, Fox helped San Diego rank second in the NFL with 47 interceptions in his two seasons, mentoring players such as safety Darren Carrington and Pro Bowl cornerback Gill Byrd. He was part of the Chargers turnaround from a 4-12 record and a last-place finish in the AFC West the season before he arrived to an 11-5 mark and a division title in 1992. He began his NFL career in 1989 in Pittsburgh, where he coached the secondary during Pro Football Hall of Fame Head Coach Chuck Nolls final three seasons with the Steelers from 1989-91. In that capacity, he instructed Woodson, who in 1991 earned the first of his 10 Pro Bowl selections as a defensive back en route to earning induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Foxs coaching career began in 1978 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, San Diego State University, after playing two seasons as a defensive back for the Aztecs. Teammates with former NFL Head Coach Herm Edwards, he graduated from SDSU with a bachelors degree in physical education and a secondary education teaching credential.

For his NFL coaching career, McCoy has overseen six individual 3,000-yard passing seasons from his work with Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme (4) and Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton (2). He also has been involved with the coaching of five Pro Bowl selections, helping Delhomme (2005) along with Broncos tackle Ryan Clady (2009, 11), running back Willis McGahee (2011) and wide receivers Brandon Marshall (2009) and Brandon Lloyd (2010) earn NFL All-Star honors. Last season, McCoy revamped Denvers offense to suit the skillset of quarterback Tim Tebow, who took over as the starter after Week 5. The Broncos, who ranked 23rd in the NFL in rushing from 200910 (105.6 ypg) and were 20th in the league (101.8 ypg) through five games in 2011, made a dramatic turnaround with their new run-oriented offense and finished as the leagues No. 1 rushing attack with a franchise-record 2,632 yards on the ground. Implementing the read option into the game plan, McCoys offense helped Denver reel off six consecutive victories in Weeks 9-14 to vault the Broncos into a first-place finish in the AFC West. Tebow continued his progression as a passer while finishing with 660 rushing yards to represent the most by a quarterback in team history. McGahee tied for the NFL lead with seven individual 100-yard rushing games and earned his second career Pro Bowl berth with a final tally of 1,199 yards on the season.
