I did not like VJ when he was chosen by Elway as the HC.  And I like him even less now.  He has never demonstrated a strong knowledge of X's and O's...football acumen.  Having said that, he is in Year 1 of a 4 year contract.  I cannot see how Elway is going to fire him and eat a lot of his money.  Maybe another couple of  50 burger losses and Elway may not have a choice.

Elway wants a head coach he can control.  Experienced coaches are not going to prefer that and want control to some extent on draft/free agency.
