BREAKING Coach Nathaniel Hackett fired by Denver Broncos after rough first season
The dismissal comes after a 37-point loss in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, who won 51-14."On behalf of our ownership and organization, I want to thank Nathaniel Hackett for his dedication as head coach of the Denver Broncos," Penner said in a statement."We sincerely appreciate Nathaniel's efforts and wish him and his family all the best in the future."
The search for a new head coach will be led by Penner, who apologized for not meeting the competitive standards that the team has held in the past. "We recognize and appreciate this organization's championship history, and we understand we have not met that standard. Our fans deserve much better, and I can't say enough about their loyalty during such a challenging stretch for our team," Penner said."Moving forward, we will carefully evaluate every aspect of our football operations and make whatever changes are necessary to restore this franchise's winning tradition.
No new names have been dropped for the team's next head coach, but a press conference on Hackett's departure and the team's future will be held on Tuesday at 12 p.m. EST.
