  • The team began playing in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League, and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger. - the American Football League should have the acronym in parenthesis, since it is mentioned in the part about the merger.
  • Mike Shanahan is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular season games coached (208), the most regular season game wins (130), the highest winning percentage in the regular season (.625), and the most playoff game wins, with eight. - I think it should be consistent, so instead of saying with eight write it as (8) like in the other statistics.
  • Shanahan, with Dan Reeves, are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13). - how about Shanahan and Dave Reeves are tied for...
Since I was talking about Shanahan on the two sentences before, that is why I putted with Reeves. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jack Faulkner, John Ralston, Red Miller, and Reeves have been named United Press International (UPI) NFL Coach of the Year, at least once with the Broncos. - there should be a the before the UPI.--SRX 22:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE the ones without comments. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "A running total of the number of coaches of the Broncos. Thus any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once." Comma after "Thus".
In every single article that follows the format, "List of (team) head coaches", they all say exactly the same thing. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That means they all need commas also. See List of Oklahoma City Thunder head coaches#Notes. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I thought you said before Thus. Laugh out loud, my mistake. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 06:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "AFL-NFL Merger" "Merger" should not be capitalized.
  • "Shanahan is also the only Broncos head coach to ever win a Super Bowl, with two."
  • "Filchock, Faulkner, Mac Speedie, Jerry Smith, Ralston, and Miller have all spent their entire coaching careers with the Broncos."
Why? It makes sense the way it is. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but it is unnecessary wording. "All" does not tell us anything that we didn't already know. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE
  • "Invesco Field at Mile High has been the home of the Broncos since 2001." The image caption doesn't need this linked, it is already linked in the article.
Anything in WP:MOS that declines that? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OVERLINK. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE
  • "The franchise' first head coach was Frank Filchock"—"franchise'"-->franchise's
  • "Speedie, Ray Malavasi, Miller, and Shanahan have all been assistant coaches with the Broncos before they became head coaches with the Broncos."
Why? It makes sense the way it is. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think "Shanahan, with Dan Reeves, are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13)" would read better as "Shanahan and Dan Reeves are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13)".

  • I think the comment for Red Miller should note that he won the AFC championship in 1977.
I concur. The reason I didn't put the AFC championship on is because there is no list called, List of AFC champions. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is such a Wikipedia list necessary to include the information in the comments section of the table? The Red Miller page on Pro Football Reference [2] provides a reliable source, and if you want to link to something until the list in question is created you can link to the Super Bowl XII page. Rlendog (talk) 02:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Another reason is that I am trying to be consistent with the other NFL head coaches lists. If you truly want me to add it on, I'll be happy to. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I won't withhold support if you decide not to add that. But I do think this list (and the other NFL coaches lists) should include this information. Rlendog (talk) 19:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
