According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Denver Broncos have requested permission to interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett for their head coaching opening. The Broncos fired their former head coach Vic Fangio, a hot name during the 2019 cycle that saw the Packers bring in Matt LaFleur, after a 19-30 record over three years. Denver is now being headed by general manager George Paton, who was hired in 2021 after former quarterback John Elway changed titles from general manager and executive vice president of football operations to the president of football operations.
Along with Hackett, the Broncos have requested permission to interview Cowboys coordinators Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore and Patriots assistant Jerod Mayo.
