Broncos Head Coach Fox Resigns
The Denver Broncos have announced the head coach John Fox has resigned, leaving a gaping void in the team's coaching staff.
Fox lead the Broncos to multiple playoff appearances, and with the preseason looming in a month, the Broncos must act quickly to find a replacement for the open head coach jobs.
UPDATE: The Broncos are expected to make an announcement regarding the head coach position later today.

Broncos Hire Livingston For Head Coaching Job
The Denver Broncos have announced that former NCAA Division 1 head coach Brandon Livingston will take over for the departed John Fox and fill in the coaching job.
Livingston coached at the University of North Carolina for seven years before departing to coach for an independent league team that has requested not to be revealed.
"Brandon is known for his ability to analyze plays and get what needs to be done finished," team owner Pat Bowlen said during a press conference to announce the hiring.
"I'm going to say it right now. There will be no pretending that we did well after a loss, there will be no fooling around. We are here for a reason, and that reason is to get the the Superbowl." said Livingston, "Don't be surprised if I come right out after a game and let you know how I felt about a certain [player's] performance."
The Broncos open training camp tomorrow, and Livingston is expected to be there.

Broncos Get Trampled By Bears
The Denver Broncos fell behind early in their first live game action of the year, thanks to two early field goals from Robbie Gould.
After countering with a field goal of their own, Chicago went on a long run, claiming a 32-3 lead at the end of play at the third quarter.
Chicago got touchdowns from Eric Weems and Matt Spaeth, who both connected with backup quarter back Jason Campbell, who threw for 136 yards.
Broncos second string quarterback Brock Osweiler struggled mightily, completing only five of 23 attempted passes, accumulating only 55 yards. To put that in perspective, Peyton Manning (who played only in the first quarter), made 3 out of 5 passes and accumulated 57 yards, already more than what Osweiler compiled during three quarters of play.
"Brock knows that his performance was bad, and he knows that if he wants any playing time this season, he better step up his game." new head coach Brandon Livingston said in the post game media scrum.
The Broncos now look ahead to next week, as they travel back to Denver to take on the defending Superbowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.
