Broncos hire Joe Lombardi as offensive coordinator

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced 15 additions to his coaching staff on Saturday -- eight with ties to his tenure in New Orleans, including offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.

Lombardi was fired after two seasons as the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator.

Lombardi spent 12 seasons with the Saints as an offensive assistant (2007-08) and quarterbacks coach (2009-13; 2016-2020). He also was the OC for the Detroit Lions in 2014-15.

Vance Joseph, as previously reported, returns to Denver as defensive coordinator after serving as the Broncos' head coach from 2017-18. He spent the next four seasons as the Arizona Cardinals' DC.
