After moving on from Rich Scangarello, the Denver Broncos are expected to make former New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur their new offensive coordinator. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Shurmur have some of his old coaching staff join him in Denver.
Mike Shula, who served as New York’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2018-2019, is presumably available after Shurmur’s departure. The Giants are expected to hire Jerry Schuplinski as their new QBs coach, which might be a sign that Shula won’t be brought back for the 2020 season.
The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala noted on Twitter on Monday that Shula “spent a good bit of time” with quarterback Drew Lock at Missouri’s pro day last year. If Shurmur wants one of “his guys” coaching Denver’s quarterbacks, Shula would make sense.
It’s also possible that the Broncos could stick with current QBs coach T.C. McCartney, who joined Denver’s staff last year. McCartney has five years of coaching experience in the NFL. He worked for the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns before joining Vic Fangio’s staff in 2019.
So far, Scangarello is the only coach the Broncos haven’t brought back.
