[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 198783, member: 195"] How the mighty have fallen. It just didn't work out for Bates in Denver. I think they pretty much scrapped his system halfway through the season, so the writing was already on the wall: Tuesday, January 8, 2008 Bates resigns from Broncos staff Denver Broncos defensive boss Jim Bates, who installed the Packers' current scheme in 2005, resigned today after the team limped to a 7-9 record in his first year on the job. Bates’ departure was expected. The Broncos finished 19th in overall defense and 30th against the run. "I had the opportunity to stay," Bates said in a written statement. "(Coach Mike Shanahan) has been very fair with me, and the final decision, for the Broncos and for me, was to step aside." Bates, whose title was assistant coach-defense, had success with his system with the Packers and Miami Dolphins, but the Broncos were unable to master it. Bates said he was "very saddened that things did not work out." -- The Associated Press [/QUOTE]
