Nathaniel Hackett’s disappointing season in Denver has come to an end.
The Broncos fired the first-year head coach on Monday, according to a statement from team owner and CEO Greg Penner.
“Following extensive conversations with (general manager) George (Paton) and our ownership group, we determined a new direction would ultimately be in the best interest of the Broncos,“ Penner said in a statement. „This change was made now out of respect for everyone involved and allows us to immediately begin the search for a new head coach.
“We recognize and appreciate this organization’s championship history, and we understand we have not met that standard.“
Hackett leaves Denver with a 4-11 record after a 51-14 beatdown by the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
