Search Over: Broncos Promote Adam Gase to Offensive Coordinator

It was reported late last night the Denver Broncos would name their new offensive coordinator before the weekend.

And by Thursday morning, it was a done deal.

The Broncos have promoted quarterbacks coach Adam Gase to offensive coordinator. Gase has been with the Broncos since 2009 and replaces Mike McCoy, who was hired Tuesday as the new head coach of the San Diego Chargers.

Gase is an internal hire, so he’s already familiar with players, coaches, and management. Only 34, Gase has been in the NFL since 2005, though this will be his first time as offensive coordinator.

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt was rumored as a strong candidate to replace McCoy.

Gase’s promotion is the second Broncos coaching move made this week. Denver named Cory Undlin as its new secondary coach Tuesday after announcing Ron Milus’ contract would not be renewed. Undlin served as Broncos defensive quality control coach in 2012.

Throughout the process it was kind of tough especially once practice and everything starts, I wanted to be there. In the end, I knew it was going to get done. The Broncos made it pretty easy and my agent did a great job so it wasn’t too bad of a process. I’m excited to be back.

Little Known Broncos Facts: Opening Day (2000s & 2010s) - I have a feeling that most Broncos fans see the 2000s and the 2010s as something of a failed experiment for their beloved team — and may be seeing that decade (plus two seasons) through the filter of that awful 4-12-0 2010 season. The decade plus two of the 2000s has been a time of great upheaval and change for the Broncos. From the retirement of Elway following the 1998 season, change has seemed to be the only constant.   Read more from Mile High Report >>>>
