Just about every NFL coach has a unique origin story, but Rich Scangarello’s climb through the coaching ranks has been a particularly interesting one.
Scangarello is the leading (and possibly only) candidate for the Denver Broncos’ vacant offensive coordinator position, a role that was originally supposed to be filled by former head coach Gary Kubiak.
He has been working the past two years under Kyle Shanahan but has admired him for much longer.
Scangarello broke into the coaching world back in the late 1990s when he coached J.T. O’Sullivan and Kevin Daft — both NFL Draft picks — at UC Davis.
