The Denver Broncos have fired head coach Vic Fangio and reportedly released offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, and while Fangio is sure to be high on the list of potential defensive coordinators around the league, it’s another coach on his staff that should raise the collective eyebrow of fans of the Buffalo Bills.
Broncos QBs coach Mike Shula is a name very familiar to Bills head coach Sean McDermott. While McDermott was in Carolina as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator from 2011 to 2016, Shula was also with the organization. As QB coach for the Panthers in 2011 and 2012 and offensive coordinator from 2013 to 2017, Shula guided Cam Newton’s development into an NFL MVP.
