Broncos fire D coordinator

Seems odd to me. I know Denver's D faded in the second half, especially compared to what it did in the first half, but I sure hope Shanahan didn't fire Coyer to be the scapegoat for not making the playoffs.

Shanahan's move to a rookie QB put a lot of pressure on the defense, and they shouldn't have been expected to carry the load while his little experiment was in its early stages.

Just seems to me that, at face value, Shanahan is dumping the heat for his decision on someone else.

    I don't suppose it was the defensive coordinator's idea to back into the playoffs by "playing not to lose" against San Fran in OT, was it?
