Broncos | Kevin O'Connell to meet with Broncos Wed Jan 19, 10:57 AM
Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell will interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching position Friday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell is a former quarterback who could get the Broncos offense right. For years, since the retirement of Peyton Manning, the Broncos have not been able to find quality quarterback play. If they get that right, and get an offensive minded coach like O'Connell, then the offensive weapons they have - and they have quite a few (Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, Noah Fant) could start playing up to their potential. |

Broncos | Brian Callahan interviewing with DEN Wed Jan 19, 10:54 AM
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan will interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching position Thursday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: Brian Callahan has never been a head coach in the NFL, but he's certainly well respected for the work he's done with the Bengals offense. The Broncos are looking high and low to find the right coach, and their offense needs a ton of work - even though they have good players on that side of the ball. Perhaps they decide that Callahan is their guy. |
Broncos | Denver ramping up coaching search Tue Jan 18, 02:26 PM
Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is reportedly interviewing with the Denver Broncos in the Dallas area on Tuesday, Jan. 18. Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is scheduled to do the same later in the evening.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos are looking at both coordinators from the Cowboys. Since moving on from Vic Fangio, the team should focus on improving their offense and finding a head coach who can fit with whatever quarterback they bring in this offseason. Rumblings have been their top target is trading for QB Aaron Rodgers. It seems like a pipe dream, but they should be aggressive in their pursuit of upgrading the quarterback position. |

Broncos | Kellen Moore meeting with DEN Tue Jan 18, 08:17 AM
Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is interviewing for the Denver Broncos' head coaching position Tuesday, Jan. 18.
| Footballguys view: Moore has a bright offensive mind, but he's coming off a playoff loss to the 49ers and that may have cooled his stock in the eyes of Broncos fans. The Broncos have talent on offense, outside of having a good quarterback. Perhaps Moore, and the right QB, will help jump start this talented but under performing unit. |

Link to story Broncos | Luke Getsy interviewing with Broncos Fri Jan 14, 08:13 AM
Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Luke Getsy will interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching vacancy Friday, Jan. 14.
| Footballguys view: Getsy has worked only with the Packers in the NFL, but he was an offensive coordinator for two college teams (West Virginia Wesleyan, Mississippi State). He has a great relationship with QB Aaron Rodgers, and the Broncos could actually be looking at Getsy as an option at offensive coordinator if they hire Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett (who they're interviewing Saturday) as their head coach. |

Broncos | Jonathan Kongbo joins Broncos Wed Jan 12, 05:30 PM
Free-agent DE Jonathan Kongbo signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Denver Broncos Wednesday, Jan. 12. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to story Broncos | Nathaniel Hackett to meet with DEN Wed Jan 12, 09:57 AM
Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett will interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching vacancy Saturday, Jan. 15.
| Footballguys view: Hackett is arguably the hottest name in the 2022 coaching carousel. His work with Aaron Rodgers peaks the interest of the Broncos as they want to trade for the superstar quarterback this offseason. Having Hackett would be an attraction for Rodgers, but even if they didn't get the veteran passer Hackett would be a fine coach who could jump start an offense which has more talent than most think. |

Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Luke Getsy has been requested for an interview with the Denver Broncos for their head coaching vacancy.

Broncos | Dan Quinn on Denver's radar Mon Jan 10, 02:19 PM
Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has reportedly been requested to interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching vacancy, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Quinn might be the top candidate for the Broncos. He's got head coaching experience, connects with the modern player and could be what the Broncos need at the head coach spot after three years of Vic Fangio struggling to connect with his players, struggling to pay attention to the offense and struggling to call timeouts or challenges properly. |
Broncos | Jerod Mayo drawing interest from Denver Mon Jan 10, 01:42 PM
New England Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo has reportedly been requested to interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching vacancy, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos have had two defensive minded coaches in a row (Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio) and they have failed spectacularly. However, that's not making them shy away from other defensive minded coaches now that Fangio was fired on Sunday. |

Broncos | Pat Shurmur also let go Sun Jan 9, 11:04 AM
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was fired Sunday, Jan. 9, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Shurmur was unwilling to consistently commit to the run despite the lack of quality at quarterback and the clear strength of the offense being in the run game. |
Broncos | Denver parts ways with Vic Fangio Sun Jan 9, 10:17 AM
The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vic Fangio Sunday, Jan. 9, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: This isn't that surprising as the team has tread water under Fangio. It's not all on him as the mediocre quarterback play has held back a good defense, but the team's offseason will be oriented around improving at quarterback. George Paton will likely weigh that in the next head coach hire. |
Broncos | Week 18 game recap for Denver Sat Jan 8, 08:11 PM
Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock completed 12-of-24 throws for 162 yards without a touchdown Saturday, Jan. 8, vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. He didn't turn over the ball and rushed for two scores on four carries for 35 yards. RB Melvin Gordon, who lost a scoop-and-score fumble, ran 12 times for 110 yards and a touchdown, chipping in a six-yard grab on his lone reception. RB Javonte Williams carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards. WR Tim Patrick led the team with six catches for 95 yards. WR Jerry Jeudy finished with two catches for 30 yards on five targets, and WR Courtland Sutton caught one of his three targets for 13 yards. Sutton also threw a 16-yard pass. TE Noah Fant was held to a 16-yard catch on his only reception (two targets). CB Michael Ojemudia paced the defense with 11 tackles (eight solo) and tallied two passes defensed.
| Footballguys view: Gordon looked fresh and gave potential free agent suitors something to think about, while Patrick showed why he got an extension at a starter salary during the season. The Broncos will go into next season with a new coach, offensive coordinator, and maybe a new quarterback. |
