Barring a miraculous turnaround, most NFL insiders forecast another head-coaching search for the Denver Broncos come January. The Nathaniel Hackett hire, in tandem with the selling of the farm for, and subsequent regression of, Russell Wilson has been a colossal swing and a miss for an organization that badly needed to end its head-coaching carousel.*
With the Broncos at 3-7, insiders the league over have circled the team as one of the most likely head-coaching vacancies to come in the not-too-distant future. If Hackett turns out to be a one-and-done head coach, the Broncos' new ownership — the Walton/Penner group — will have plenty of options, and capital, to throw at a potential replacement.*
Names like Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and the still-retired former New Orleans head coach Sean Payton are the two most common names uttered around league circles when it comes to the 2023 hiring cycle. The Broncos came close to hiring Quinn back in January, as he, Hackett, and Kevin O'Connell were reportedly GM George Paton's trio of finalists for the head coach job.*
