Fox won the AFC West all four of his years in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in ugly fashion in the playoffs, culminating withSunday's 24-13 loss to Indianapolis. Asked after the game about a pregame report that he could be available if the Broncos suffered a loss to the Colts, Fox didn't shoot it down, saying, "I don't make those decisions. I don't control that. My intentions are to be a Denver Bronco and have been since I got here." Fox might already have something in the works with another team. Neither Fox nor John Elway would say what was discussed Monday when they met other than it was time to split up. "It became clear that it was best for both the Denver Broncos and Coach Fox to move on and make this change," Elway said in a statement. So, Fox is out after going 49-22 in Denver, including the playoffs, following a 73-71 record in nine years with the Carolina Panthers. The Broncos went 8-8 in Fox's first year, when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The stakes were raised when Denver won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes and replaced Tim Tebow in 2012. Denver went 38-10 in the regular season with Manning but the Broncos were upset twice at home in the divisional round and got upended by the Seahawks 43-8 in last year's Super Bowl. Elway thanked Fox for helping "establish a positive, winning culture for this team and (he) deserves a lot of credit for the Broncos' turnaround," but added "there is still work to be done" to win a Super Bowl. "Our organization is fully dedicated to reaching Pat Bowlen's high standards for his team as we begin the process of finding the next head coach to lead the Denver Broncos." Fox became the only coach in NFL history to win a dozen consecutive divisional road games on his way to an unprecedented four straight AFC West titles in Denver. But the goal when Manning came on board was Super Bowl trophies. Instead, Manning is 2-3 in the playoffs with the Broncos and all three of his seasons have ended in ugly fashion after tying for the best record in the NFL during the regular season. BILLS: Rex Ryan is officially going from Broadway to Buffalo. The Bills announced in a news release Monday that Ryan has been hired to take over as coach. The news came a day after the former New York Jets coach tentatively accepted the Bills' contract offer. Ryan replaces Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31. "Rex brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the position that we feel will be a tremendous benefit to our players and the entire Bills organization," owner Terry Pegula said in a statement released by the team. "He was very impressive during the interview process, as were many of the candidates to which we spoke. And we feel Rex is the best fit for our team." Ryan will be formally introduced during a press conference scheduled for Wednesday. The Bills are already making plans to assist Ryan on offense. A person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press that the Bills are finalizing contract discussions to hire Greg Roman as their offensive coordinator. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Roman has not yet been signed. Roman spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator.
