The lost season led to a restructuring of the front office and the return of Hall of Famer John Elway as chief football executive. His first big decision was offering the former Carolina Panthers coach a four-year contract. ``The thing that got me was his wisdom and his energy,'' Elway said. ``This place has been deflated for a year and maybe even two years.'' Fox went 78-74, including playoffs, in nine seasons with the Panthers. The tea |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Denver Broncos have hired former Carolina Panthers coach John Fox to resurrect a downtrodden team. The team announced the hiring Thursday. Fox's contract wasn't renewed by the Panthers following an NFL-worst 2-14 season. Fox replaces Josh McDaniels, who was fired Dec. 6 amid the team's worst slide in four decades and the embarrassing Spygate II videotaping scandal.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

| Charlotte, NC (MySportsbook) - Saying his goals are to win a Super Bowl and build a legacy, and vowing to implement an attacking defensive scheme, Ron Rivera was introduced Tuesday as the new head football coach of the Carolina Panthers. After nine up-and-down seasons under John Fox, the Panthers handed the clipboard to a former linebacker and defensive guru with no prior head coaching experience.
