"Denver Broncos Clean House: Coaching Staff Takes a Big Hit!"
Published: 27-12-2022 06:02
The Denver Broncos have made headlines over the past week, as they continue to trim their coaching staff. Following the firing of head coach Vic Fangio last Monday, the team has now released two more coaches.
On Monday morning, the Broncos announced that they had fired special teams coordinator Dwayne Stukes and offensive line coach Butch Barry. The moves come as part of a larger shake-up in the Denver organization following Fangio's departure.
Stukes had been with the Broncos since 2017, when he was hired by then head coach Vance Joseph. During his tenure in Denver, Stukes helped improve the team's special teams units and was widely respected by players and coaches alike.
Barry joined the Broncos in 2019, replacing veteran offensive line coach Mike Munchak after he left for Pittsburgh. Under Barry's guidance, Denver's offensive line improved significantly this season and even earned praise from Fangio for their play in 2020.
The firings of Stukes and Barry are just the latest changes to come out of Denver this offseason as the team looks to get back on track after a disappointing 5-11 record this past season. It is unclear who will take over as special teams coordinator or offensive line coach at this time but it is likely that more changes will be coming soon as new head coach Brandon Staley works to build his own staff in 2021.
