There were no Tears for a Clown when Broncos owner Greg Penner fired Nathaniel Hackett in 2022. After an odious 15-game performance, stained by players lacking discipline and fighting on the sideline, Penner identified the qualities most important for removing the floppy shoes and red nose from the organization’s coaching office. “We need a strong leader that’s focused on winning.

FORT COLLINS — The chip Jack Howell carried around on his shoulder for the past week didn’t weigh him down.
