The Denver Broncos finally made the decision to part ways<\/span> with first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett Monday, following an embarrassing Christmas blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. This was a decision that did not come as a surprise to anyone, and Broncos owner Greg Penne said in a statement<\/a> that the timing of this move allows the franchise to get a jump on this new head coaching search.<\/p>\n

Denver went with two defensive minds in Vance Joseph and Vic Fangio before taking a flier on Hackett, the former offensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers. Obviously, that flier did not work out. Could the results of the Hackett experiment lead general manager George Paton and the new ownership to lean towards someone who has been a head coach before? Will they be unafraid to again reach on a young offensive coordinator on the rise, or will they opt to go for a seasoned defensive coordinator with head coaching experience?<\/p>\n
