Interim Denver head coach Jerry Rosburg said Wednesday he’s glad defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero was first offered the position and admired the fact that Evero turned it down.
Evero, of course, is close friends with Nathaniel Hackett, who was fired as head coach Monday. Rosburg suggested that played into Evero’s decision to turn down the interim job.
“I talked to Ejiro and told him how I respected his decision because of his loyalty and his relationship with Nathaniel,” Rosburg said. “My feeling is if that had happened to me with another close friend of mine in my career, I hope I would have done the same thing, but it’s not an easy thing to do.
