ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Eric Studesville just couldn't leave Denver. Through staff overhauls in 2011 and 2015, the longtime running backs coach had stayed a Bronco. His status through a third coaching change, however, seemed uncertain given an opportunity to join the Jets as their offensive coordinator. But after carefully considering the decision, Studesville ultimately chose to continue his career in Denver.
That didn't mean Studesville wouldn't get a promotion he desired, though. He remains the running backs coach, but he added a new position to the front of his title: Assistant Head Coach.
"The biggest thing is just to be a support mechanism for [Head Coach] Vance [Joseph]," Studesville said.
