Broncos Fire Nathaniel Hackett After Blowout Loss To Rams

The Denver Broncos have actually fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett amidst their devastating 4-11 season … simply one day after the group suffered a huge 51-14 loss to the Rams on Christmas.

Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner launched a declaration on Monday … thanking the 43-year-old coach for his effort and commitment to the company, however stating it was time for a modification.

“Following extensive conversations with George and our ownership group, we determined a new direction will ultimately be in the best interest of the Broncos,” Penner stated.

“This change was made now out of respect for everyone involved and allows us to immediately begin the search for a new head coach.”

Hackett ended up being the Broncos’ head coach in January 2022 … simply a couple of months prior to the group traded for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.

Both Hackett and Wilson struggled this season with the Broncos’ offense … just scoring 15.5 points per video game.

The humiliating 51-14 loss versus the Rams on Christmas night was the final stroke … leaving the Broncos with a 4-11 record and at the bottom of the AFC West standings.

“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,” Penner included.
