A league source confirmed an NFL Network report this morning that the Broncos are closing in on hiring Green Bay offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new head coach.
Hackett, who interviewed with the Broncos in Green Bay on Jan. 15 and at the Broncos’ facility on Monday, emerged from a pool of 10 candidates. He was the only one to receive a second interview.
Hackett, 42, was expected to interview a second time with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, but the Broncos swooped in to initiate contract talks. The other finalists were Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell.
