Broncos Hire Ed Donatell As Defensive Coordinator
6 years agoThe Denver Broncos reached an agreement on Tuesday to make former Chicago Bears defensive backs coach Ed Donatell their next defensive coordinator, according to a source. Donatell served behind Vic Fangio in Chicago, who is now Denver's head coach. Expect Fangio to have most of the say with defensive play-calling moving forward. Denver still has a solid pass rush in Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, as well as a top cornerback in Chris Harris Jr. They ranked 22nd in yards allowed per game (365.1), 20th in passing yards allowed (245.6), 21st in rushing yards allowed (119.6) and 13th in points allowed per game (21.8) in 2018. Their strength was creating turnovers, coming in tied for fifth in the league with 28 takeaways.
