After firing former head coach Vic Fangio, the Denver Broncos also parted ways with 11 members of Fangio’s staff.
Former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was hired to replace Fangio, and he’s been busy building his own staff.
Denver has already made three hires: ex-Green Bay Packers tight ends coach Justin Outten as offensive coordinator, former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator and ex-San Francisco 49ers assistant offensive line coach Butch Barry as OL coach.
The Broncos are now targeting three more coaches: Los Angeles Rams secondary coach/pass game coordinator Ejiro Evero (for defensive coordinator), Rams assistant special teams coach Dwayne Stukes (for ST coordinator) and ex-49ers assistant head coach/tight ends coach Jon Embree (presumably as TEs coach), according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
Embree, a former Colorado Buffaloes star and head coach, parted ways with the 49ers after they asked him to take a big pay cut, according to Solomon Wilcots of SiriusXM NFL Radio. Denver will likely face competition for Embree, who is considered a top TEs coach in the NFL.
Evero and Stukes won’t be available to potentially join the Broncos’ staff until after Los Angeles plays in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday.
