Filed under: Broncos, AFC WestNot sure what's worse for the coach of a sinking team -- getting a vote of confidence from team brass or not getting one.
In the case of Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, a vote of confidence was noticeably lacking in comments made by Joe Ellis, the team's chief operating officer, to the Denver Post.
Ellis spoke to the Post in the midst of the Broncos' bye week on behalf of owner Pat Bowlen. Ellis said Bowlen is in good health but is stepping back a bit from the spotlight.
Ellis told the Post that while Bowlen retains confidence in McDaniels' coaching and in his ability to turn the season around, he stopped short of guaranteeing McDaniels would be back for a third season as the team's coach.
The team has lost four in a row, including a 59-14 loss to the AFC West rival Raiders in its most recent game at Invesco Field at Mile High two weeks ago. The Broncos went into their bye at 2-6 and in last place in the AFC West following a 24-16 loss to the 49ers in London.
