Englewood, Colo. • Vance Joseph's switch of quarterbacks did nothing to stem the tide of turnovers, so the Denver Broncos rookie head coach on Monday changed his offensive architect.
The Broncos' first-year head coach fired coordinator Mike McCoy, his first hire when he got the job in January, and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave for the final six weeks of the season.
"I want to have a more efficient pass game," said Joseph, who also promoted Klint Kubiak to take over Musgrave's old duties working with the quarterbacks.
Musgrave, who was John Elway's backup quarterback in Denver in the late 1990s, is a 20-year coaching veteran with nine NFL seasons as an offensive coordinator with the Vikings, Jaguars, Panthers, Eagles and most recently, the Raiders in 2015 and '16.
