Broncos lose assistant coach Jim Bob Cooter to Lions

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Jim Bob Cooter, a Broncos offensive assistant this past season, is getting hired away by the Detroit Lions, where he will become head coach Jim Caldwell’s new quarterbacks coach.

Cooter, 29, spent just the one season with the Broncos at the low-level coaching position. His first NFL job was with the Indianapolis Colts, where he worked with Caldwell and quarterback Peyton Manning from 2009-11.

It’s quite the promotion for Cooter as he now has arguably the most important task on the Lions: Fixing Matthew Stafford. Immensely talented and the NFL’s No. 1 overall draft pick in 2009, the strong-armed Stafford, as much as any NFL quarterback, needs coaching in fundamentals, poise under fire and reading defenses.

It takes a lot of people, both out front and behind the scenes, to create history.

And one of those out-of-the-limelight folks that helped the Denver Broncos score an NFL record 606 points this past season as quarterback Peyton Manning set single-season records for passing touchdowns (55) and passing yards (5,477) has been hired to help another quarterback in another offense.

Broncos offensive assistant Jim Bob Cooter has told the Broncos he has accepted the job as quarterbacks coach for the Detroit Lions. And there are those inside the Broncos suburban practice complex who believe Cooter will be difficult to replace. It appeared the team has escaped the hiring period of most of the new coaching staffs in the league without losing him.

But newly-minted Lions head coach Jim Caldwell knew what the Broncos had in Cooter given that Cooter was an offensive assistant with the Colts in all three of Caldwell’s seasons as Indianapolis’ head coach.

Congrats on pointing out the obvious joke!

Congrats on pointing out the obvious joke!

But do you get it? His first name is Jim Bob. That sounds like a really southern first name. Then, his last name is Cooter. Like the guy on the Dukes of Hazzard.

Thanks for pointing out that I was pointing out the obvious joke. With that Tulane education you could probably score a sweet gig at the department of redundancy department.
