The Denver Broncos made the announcement on Monday that they have mutually parted ways with head coach John Fox, as reported by ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold .
After watching the way the team performed down the stretch and against the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round of the playoffs, it really should come as no surprise.
Despite a 46-18 regular-season record in four seasons with the Broncos, Fox's 3-3 record in the postseason did him in.
John Elway, executive vice president of football operations, has made it clear that his team should expect nothing short of a Super Bowl victory. On Monday, the parting of ways with Fox was evidence of that.
That leaves the Broncos as one of six teams with a need for a new head coach.
So who could possibly replace Fox?
Former #Broncos coach Mike Shanahan will not be the new #Broncos coach. But the team is interested in Dan Quinn (get in line).

Manning will want to know every intricate detail of the team's plans as well.
So do the Broncos go with a young, untested coach such as Josh McDaniels ? Or do they elect to go in the direction of bringing in someone who is familiar with the team and organization?
Whatever the case may be, it will be one of the most interesting offseasons in years for the Broncos, and finding a new head coach will be at the forefront.
Here is a list of five men who may be on the Broncos' radar.
