Training Camp 2012: Day 14

August 8th, 2012 - 1:18pm by Sam DavisOther posts by

The Broncos practiced one last time on Wednesday morning before heading off to Chicago for their first preseason game. The players were in shorts, jerseys and helmets – no pads, and did a fast-paced walkthrough in several different packages and situations.

At the end of practice, media and fans cleared the field as the team rehearsed its pregame routine. The game is set for 7:30 p.m. CDT with KTVD-TV (Channel 20) carrying the game on television and KOA Radio (850 AM) broadcasting over the air.

RED MILLER VISITS DOVE VALLEY

The head coach from the Broncos’ Super Bowl run in the 1977 season attended his first practice of the year on Wednesday. Afterwards, Miller and his family met Head Coach John Fox.

Red Miller Legacy Continues

July 24th, 2012 - 8:45am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

When the 2012 Olympic Games commence at the end of this week the legacy of Denver Broncos Head Coach Red Miller will continue.

Among the Colorado residents who will be intently watching the events on their television sets will be the coach who led the Broncos to our first American Football Conference Championship and appearance in Super Bowl XII, Robert “Red” Miller.

The Broncos made their first three playoff appearances and posted the first two division titles in franchise history under Red, who brought the highest degrees of experience, passion and the ability to relate to his players to the Mile High City.

But Red Miller will be watching the American rowing team more closely than any other, as his granddaughter, Taylor Ritzel, is a member of the women’s eight for the heavily favored American rowing team.

John Fox Right Coach at Right Time

January 14th, 2011 - 11:22am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

This is a very exciting moment in Denver Broncos history as John Fox takes the reins as head coach of the iconic Rocky Mountain sports franchise.

There is no team comparable to the Broncos in our time zone, and as one draws closer to Denver it is like heading into the epicenter of an emotional tsunami, with the Broncos figuratively representing the state religion for legions of Broncos Country residents.

The Broncos have achieved legendary status over the past 51 years, albeit in a legendary low ebb at this very time.

But with every negative comes a positive, and in this case it just happened that John Fox was available to bring his experience, energy and focus to the Mile High City.

A Coaching Mantra

March 8th, 2010 - 8:05pm by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

I had the honor of introducing Sandy Weese, widow of one-time Denver Broncos quarterback Norris Weese, at a fundraising banquet Saturday night.

Nearly 20 members of the 1977 American Football Conference champion Broncos came back for this dinner, including quarterbacks Craig Morton and Craig Penrose and, of course, Sandy representing Norris.

That made the occasion the first function in history to have all three quarterbacks from the 1977 championship team represented by attendance, and it was a great night all around.

Speaker after speaker cited Red Miller, the legendary coach who brought the group together for that magical championship season.

Over the course of getting ready for the banquet and other communications Red sent me a note on his personal stationary.

I hope he won’t mind, but I would like to share the mantra that appears on the stationary of this great coach. It is a small insight into the mind of a great leader, and quite frankly should give everyone who reads it something to think about.
