A 5-11 season can rarely pass without significant changes so, although Broncos head coach Vance Joseph was told he is safe for another season, many of his assistants were shown the door.
The Broncos began the process swiftly Monday afternoon and, according to an NFL source, parted with special teams coordinator Brock Olivo, assistant head coach/running backs Eric Studesville, longtime receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and offensive line coach Jeff Davidson.
Defensive coordinator Joe Woods will be retained, and Bill Musgrave is expected to shed the interim tag to remain as the team’s full-time offensive coordinator.
