Denver Broncos: Brandon Staley hired, Ed Donatell to follow?

Vic Fangio is filling out his coaching staff with the Denver Broncos and has just filled a position that was previously a part-time position for the Broncos in 2018.

The Broncos didn’t have a full-time outside linebackers coach in 2018, but instead chose to have their pass rushers spend time with Reggie Herring (inside linebackers), Bill Kollar (defensive line), and DeMarcus Ware (part-time pass rush consultant).

This season, the Broncos have hired 14-year coaching veteran Brandon Staley — the Chicago Bears’ most recent OLBs coach — to be their new coach in the same role.

Staley and Fangio helped get the Bears’ pass rush near the top of the NFL this past season, as they ranked second in the league in sacks and had the third-most sacks (51) from their linebackers since the start of the 2017 season.
