question for long time denver broncos fans?
why was joe collier def. coordinator in the 70s and 80s pushed out of his job? wasn’t he the mastermind of the orange crush?
admin answers:
As i recall dan reeves was not going to take the blame for missing the playoffs that season , so coach collier was given the axe.

Does the NFL draft NCAA Division 2 Often?
I’m not that big on football so an answer will be nicely appreciated.
admin answers:
Depends on how good you are as a DII players, most enter the draft but very few get drafted most end up as free agents. I see all those above answering Jerry Rice, Brian Westbrook both played D-IA ball not D-II ball, Urlacher player D-I ball at New Mexico, Lyle Alzado went to Yankton College that was closed in 1984 and is now a prison, Don Beebe went to Western Illinois University a D-IA school before transferring to a D-II school Chadron State College. And now you have Flacco who also came from a D-1A school not a D-II school but there are many in the NFl on rosters from D-II schools.
