I think the reason for that is obvious.

Remember how much Jrwiz (here) and Zam (the freak) screamed about nepotism with Shanahan? Shanahan has his guys...seems like Kubiak is like that too, which he probably learned from Shanahan. So it doesn't surprise me at all that the remnants of the Shanahan era in Denver get pilfered and recycled in Houston and Washington.

I think our team is much differant then when those guys were here. I liked Burns and always thought he was good with special teams.

Well, lets just hope they return the favor come draft days when we need trades.

Burns was drafted by, played the majority of his career for and then got his first coaching job under Shanahan...this isn't that strange at all.

All head coaches are like that. They want people they are comfortable with and that understand what they're trying to accomplish.

Sooo.. its unusual for a HC to hire a special teams coach??? :confused:

Actually shows good leadership when your CEO hires people around them that know what they are doing.

The Denver Broncos replaced a longtime employee with a promising young coach.

The Broncos announced Wednesday morning that they hired Derius Swinton as assistant special-teams coach. He replaces Keith Burns, who was hired as Washington’s special-teams coach Monday. Burns spent 17 years with the Broncos as a player and coach. He reunited with his former head coach, Mike Shanahan, with the Redskins.

Swinton, 27, was a quality control coach in Kansas City last season, and he worked three seasons with the Rams. He will assist Jeff Rodgers, who is considered one of the best special-teams coaches in the league.
