Broncos coaching staff update: Strength coach and TE coach on deck

The Broncos have a new tight ends coach and they are closing in on a strength and conditioning coach.

Sean Payton’s coaching staff is coming together.

After previously hiring Zach Strief as the Denver Broncos’ new offensive line coach, Payton is now expected to add two more former members of the New Orleans Saints’ coaching staff.

Dan Dalrymple, who served as the Saints’ head strength and conditioning coach from 2006-2022, is “firmly in the mix” to accept the same role in Denver, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Meanwhile, the Broncos are set to hire ex-New Orleans offensive assistant Declan Doyle, according to neworleans.football’s Nick Underhill. Doyle is expected to become Denver’s new tight ends coach.

Elsewhere on the coaching front, offensive coordinator Justin Outten has left the Broncos to become the new running backs coach for the Tennessee Titans. Denver’s list of candidates to replace Outten includes Ronald Curry, another former Saint.

On the other side of the ball, Payton has interviewed six candidates for the team’s defensive coordinator position. We are tracking all of the Broncos’ coaching staff changes on this page.

Saints assistant Declan Doyle is joining Sean Payton’s Broncos coaching staff

Former Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle is, like Zach Strief, leaving for a promotion on Sean Payton’s coaching staff with the Broncos:

Former New Orleans Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle is, like Zach Strief, leaving for a promotion on Sean Payton’s coaching staff with the Denver Broncos per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. Doyle helped out with the Saints tight ends and coached some prospects at that position during this year’s Senior Bowl, but the opportunity for advancement with the coach that hired him in the first place was worth pursuing.

Doyle is another departure for Payton’s Broncos staff after he brought Strief, their assistant offensive line coach, in for a full-time role. Multiple former Saints coaches are also in consideration for jobs under Payton in Denver, though at least one assistant, Kevin Petry, is staying in New Orleans.

The Saints also dismissed longtime tight ends coach Dan Roushar earlier this offseason (who has since been hired as Tulane’s offensive line coach), and Doyle was at least initially viewed as a candidate to replace him. With both of them out of the building, Dennis Allen instead turned to veteran coach Clancy Barone, who has a history of helping his players reach their Pro Bowl potential. Hopefully the Saints can re-sign tight end Juwan Johnson, who is a restricted free agent coming off of a breakout year.

Broncos coaching staff changes: 6 moves on deck

Here’s the latest on the Broncos’ coaching staff changes.

The coaching staff changes continue for the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos have “parted ways” with inside linebackers coach Peter Hansen, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Denver also won’t bring back outside linebackers coach Bert Watts, according to The Denver Post‘s Parker Gabriel.

Meanwhile, the Broncos are eyeing New Orleans Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle as a tight ends coach, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports. That presumably means that holdover TEs coach Jake Moreland is out.

Denver is also targeting Saints assistant to the head coach/offensive assistant Kevin Petry, according to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune. It’s unclear what role Petry would hold with the Broncos.

After bringing in ex-Saints Zach Strief as their new offensive line coach, Klis reports that the team is not expected to retain assistant OL coach Ben Steele.

Klis has also named-dropped Dan Dalrymple as a potential candidate to replace former strength and conditioning coach Loren Landow.

Broncos eyeing Saints assistant Declan Doyle for tight ends coach vacancy

CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports that Sean Payton’s Broncos are eyeing Saints assistant Declan Doyle. Doyle recently repped the Saints at the Senior Bowl:

Another New Orleans Saints assistant coach could soon be on the move to join Sean Payton on the Denver Broncos, per CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson. Anderson reports that Payton’s Broncos are considering Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle for their tight ends coach vacancy. Doyle has been seen as an in-house candidate to replace Dan Roushar in that position for New Orleans, and he recently represented the Saints while coaching tight ends prospects at the Senior Bowl college all-star game.

He would be another tough loss for the Saints after assistant offensive line coach Zach Strief left for a promotion on Payton’s staff in Denver. Roushar is one of several former Payton assistants who are in consideration to join him with the Broncos, so there’s a very active siphoning of talent going on from New Orleans to Denver.

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis had previously said the Saints would block any lateral moves for departures, but promotions like Strief and Declan (if he is offered the job) would take the ball out of their court. They also won’t receive any compensation for these losses because only the hiring of minority candidates to head coach and general manager positions qualify for the NFL comp picks policy.

Which Senior Bowl draft prospects will Saints’ Declan Doyle be coaching?

Get to know the 2023 draft prospects Saints assistant Declan Doyle will be coaching at the Senior Bowl, including Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave:

The New Orleans Saints will have the inside track on some tight end prospects in the 2023 NFL draft, with offensive assistant Declan Doyle assigned to coach that position group for the American Team in this year’s Senior Bowl college all-star game. Doyle is one of four Saints assistant coaches who will be working with players throughout the week of practices, meetings, and the game itself.

This is a great opportunity for Doyle, the Saints, and these draft prospects, so let’s familiarize ourselves with these players as they hope to turn pro:

Saints assistant Declan Doyle to coach Senior Bowl tight ends prospects

New Orleans Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle will be coaching Senior Bowl tight ends Cameron Latu, Will Mallory, Luke Musgrave, and Brayden Willis:

We now know what another one of the New Orleans Saints coaches will be doing at the upcoming Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.. Offensive assistant Declan Doyle was announced as the American Team’s tight ends coach for the event, where he’ll work with 2023 draft prospects for a week of practices leading up to the college all-star game.

The American Team tight ends include:

  • Cameron Latu, Alabama
  • Will Mallory, Miami
  • Luke Musgrave, Oregon State
  • Brayden Willis, Oklahoma

This year, the Senior Bowl coaching staffs for the American Team and National Team will be composed of assistant coaches from around the NFL, rather than the entire coaching staff of two teams. Saints passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry has already been announced as the National Team’s offensive coordinator, and there are two other assistants from New Orleans who will be joining him and Doyle. We’ll share details on them once their names and assignments have been made public.

At any rate, this is a great opportunity for these Saints coaches to get more experience and to familiarize themselves with some up-and-coming players from the college level. That should go a long way towards filling out scouting reports with the 2023 draft on the horizon. New Orleans averaged just 19.4 points per game last season, which ranked 22nd in the NFL, so they need the inside track on as much help on offense as they can get.
