7 things to know about new Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur

After firing offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, the Denver Broncos were quick to find his replacement in Pat Shurmur.

Shurmur is often lauded for his offensive knowledge but he has generally failed as a head coach.

Shurmur has been the head coach of the Browns and Giants and had a one-game stint as interim coach of the Eagles after the team fired Chip Kelly in 2015.

He has a career win-loss record of 19-46 and never won more than five games in any season.

5. He is the nephew of Fritz Shurmur

If the name Shurmur sounds familiar, it should.

Pat comes from a football family and the family name was put on the NFL map by the late Fritz Shurmur who had a coaching career that lasted over 40 years.

He is best remembered as the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, a position he held from 1994-1998. He helped lead the team to a Super Bowl victory in the 1996 season.

He was set to become the defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks in 1999, following Mike Holmgren to the northwest. But just before that season began, Shurmur passed away at the age of 67 following a bout with cancer.
