The Denver Broncos have hired former Chicago Bears defensive backs coach Ed Donatell to be their new defensive coordinator.
Broncos head coach Vic Fangio announced Donatell's hiring on Tuesday.
"He's a very good teacher and believes in the fundamentals in the classroom and on the field," Fangio said in a statement. "We're thrilled to add Ed to our coaching staff and welcome him back to the Broncos."
The 61-year-old Donatell arrives at Denver after spending the past four seasons as the Bears' defensive backs coach, coinciding with Fangio's stint as Chicago's defensive coordinator before his hiring in Denver last week.
