The Broncos have hired longtime NFL assistant Jerry Rosburg to help direct the team’s game management, a source familiar with the hire confirmed to The Athletic, a move that comes in the wake of two weeks of well-publicized operational mishaps by first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett.
One day after a 16-9 win over the Texans last week that included two delay-of-game penalties, fourth-down uncertainty and a handful of general communication breakdowns, Hackett vowed to correct the mistakes that were leading to the sideline mishaps.
“We have to make sure the communication is clear and concise,” Hackett said Monday. “I need to do better at making decisions faster and quicker and getting that information to the quarterback and being on the same page with him. That’s stuff that we talked about this morning, and all the way to this evening. It has to improve.”
That same day, according to a source, Hackett began the process of looking for a veteran presence to help him with game management. Rosburg arrived in Denver on Wednesday and observed the team’s next three practices before agreeing to a role and contract Friday afternoon. He will be in a coaching booth when the Broncos host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
