The Denver Broncos have fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday.

In his Monday statement, Penner expressed confidence in Paton as the team's GM, but the trade for Wilson -- which included the Broncos sending their 2023 first-round pick to Seattle -- stands as a massive blemish on his résumé. But instead of serving as a beacon of encouragement, this reality only further emphasized the failures of the Hackett and Wilson-led offense. From what we've seen from Wilson this season, the Broncos appear stuck in the same predicament they've been in since Manning's retirement: talented enough to reach the playoffs, but lacking a quarterback to get them there. He appeared to be very much overwhelmed by the duties of being a head coach during games, but his partnership with Wilson ended up being his undoing. [humiliating blowout loss](https://www.nfl.com/games/broncos-at-rams-2022-reg-16) to the lowly Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day serving as the final nail. Instead of watching Wilson work his magic -- or as fans in Seattle once referred to it, cook -- the Denver faithful agonized over their team's failures as Wilson struggled to perform even remotely near his former Pro Bowl level. Hackett's background led Denver to believe it had the right coach to pair with a newly acquired quarterback, and the Broncos followed suit by pulling off The frustration didn't end with pre-snap issues, though: Denver also failed to score a touchdown in five straight goal-to-go situations, [tying the longest such streak by any team to start a season in the last 30 years](https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1571673011329142784). This change was made now out of respect for everyone involved and allows us to immediately begin the search for a new head coach. But even after Hackett's staff worked out some of the early kinks, it became painfully evident the Broncos' highly touted offseason wasn't going to produce a winner. "We sincerely appreciate Nathaniel's efforts and wish him and his family all the best in the future. Denver later made Rosburg's interim ascension official and later Monday evening announced the firings of special teams coordinator Dwayne Stukes and offensive line coach Butch Barry.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett on Monday with two games left in the season.

Les Broncos de Denver congédient l'entraîneur avant la fin de sa première saison.

Après, vu la manière dont son contrat est structuré, il sera plus facile pour les Broncos de passer à un autre appel. Il reste que, pour l’instant, ce mariage forcé avec Wilson pourrait ralentir les ardeurs de quelques bons candidats. Cette franchise fière qui revendique trois conquêtes du Super Bowl a atteint les bas-fonds cette saison et elle ne pourra pas profiter d’une bonne position au repêchage pour se refaire. Les Broncos sont une véritable catastrophe, ayant une fiche de quatre victoires et 11 défaites. Nos partisans méritent mieux et je ne peux les remercier assez pour leur loyauté durant cette période difficile. Acquis des Seahawks pour une panoplie de choix au repêchage, Wilson a terriblement piqué du nez cette saison.
