  • Dan Quinn will travel to Denver this week for a second interview.
  • Denver has narrowed down their search to three final candidates. The finalists are Dan Quinn, Kevin O’Connell and Nathaniel Hackett. Quinn and Hackett are available to interview and hire this week, however, the Broncos will have to wait until next week to interview O’Connell since the Rams are still in the playoffs. If Paton wants to interview the Rams’ offensive coordinator again, the search will be delayed at least one more week.

Sunday, January 23, 2022

  • The Broncos have narrowed their coaching search down to a “few” candidates. Denver began notifying candidates who will not be finalists. By narrowing down the search instead of making an offer, expect the Broncos to have a second round of interviews this week before making a final decision.
