Kyle Shanahan’s offensive assistants have been hot commodities this offseason, and it appears one of his most valued position coaches will be leaving to become a coordinator.
Quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello has been named offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos, where he’ll join new head coach Vic Fangio, widely regarded as one of the best defensive coaches in the league. The news was first reported Wednesday by ESPN.
Scangarello’s hiring is arguably Denver’s most important of the offseason after settling on Fangio, who was San Francisco’s defensive coordinator for four seasons (2011-14) before moving on to the Chicago Bears.
