When the Denver Broncos hired George Paton as general manager last year, team president/CEO Joe Ellis, executive John Elway and even ex-coach Vic Fangio were involved in the hiring process.
Fangio has now been fired and Ellis and Elway have contracts that are set to expire later this spring. That leaves Paton in place to choose the team’s next head coach.
Ellis said in a statement Sunday that Paton will have “full authority” in the team’s head coach search. Paton released the following statement on Sunday:
Looking ahead, there’s a lot of work to be done for us to take the next step. Winning is not easy, and we’re going to embrace the opportunity to improve in every single area of our operation.
Our search to find the next head coach of the Broncos will be a comprehensive, collaborative process. We’re approaching it with an open mind and look forward to spending time with some outstanding candidates.
With the foundation in place, the progress that’s been made and the resources we have to get better, I’m excited about the future of our team. We will find an outstanding leader and head coach for the Broncos and our fans.
Denver’s interview process will likely begin in the coming days.
