    It’s safe to say John Fox is a big Tim Tebow fan

    Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 14, 2011, 3:02 PM EST

    In more than 30 years of coaching, John Fox said Tim Tebow was the only player who ever offered to pick up the tab when they went out for dinner.

    In less than 30 minutes of speaking Friday, the new Broncos coach made it clear he’s an even bigger Tebow fan now than he was at draft time.

    “The thing that’s impressive about Tebow is that he’s not afraid to be great,” Fox said. “He has as good intangibles as any athlete I’ve ever been around.”

    Tebow came by the Broncos building on Thursday to meet with Fox and the coach sounded smitten. Fox also said positive things about Kyle Orton later in his introductory press conference.

    “The quarterback situation is better than the one — some of the ones — that I’ve been at,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Jimmy Clausen!)

    Fox also likes the wideouts: “This may be as good a corps as I’ve been with,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Dwayne Jarrett!)

    On defense, Fox said wasn’t committing to a 3-4 or 4-3 defense, and was just worried about adding talent.

    The mile high air seemed good for the veteran coach, who looked refreshed and energized to be out of Carolina. He mentioned he’d “like to forget” last season.

    “I’m extremely competitive, Fox said. “I want to jump back in and erase that.”

    Fox sounded like a confident man, one who has been around long enough to know not every coach gets a chance to erase 2-14.

    Fox was a good coach before he wiggered himself out. I hope Denver fans realize what they're getting themselves into.

    Jeeze, he said more (especially about players) in that short paragraph than he said in all the foxholes put together.

    I didn't know what to make of this. He's not the type to gloat. Just a writer being a smartass.

    Good thing Tebow doesn't need a motivator because, you know, "it is what it is" ~ Foxhole

    I do not blame Foxy for being a little miffed about this past season. They pulled the rug out from under him and then blamed him when the season fell apart. I know he got paid but he was already rich.

    He could have resigned if he didn't like the arrangement, since he was already rich.
