The hiring continues in Dove Valley. The Broncos on Friday named Geep Chryst their new tight ends coach, finalizing a move that was expected last week when they interviewed him as a replacement for Brian Pariani.
Chryst, a former linebacker at Princeton, has 23 seasons of NFL coaching experience, working with the Bears, Cardinals, Chargers, Cardinals, Panthers, and most recently, the 49ers, as their quarterbacks coach (2011-14) and offensive coordinator (2015).
He spent five seasons (2006-10) as the tight end and offensive quality coach in Carolina, where he worked with new Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for three seasons and with new Broncos offensive line coach Jeff Davidson for four seasons.
