MOBILE, Ala. — Two years ago, Kyle Shanahan was hired as coach of the San Francisco 49ers and gave Rich Scangarello a huge break by naming him quarterbacks coach. Last week, Scangarello was hired as the Broncos’ new offensive coordinator, which Shanahan said is a deserving opportunity.
“Rich did a great job,” Shanahan said here Tuesday at the Senior Bowl. “It’s tough to lose him.”
Scangarello coached with the Oakland Raiders in 2009, but returned to the college ranks until 2015, when he was hired by Atlanta in a quality control-type role thanks to a connection with a Falcons assistant.
