Jeff Davidson‘s stint as Broncos offensive line coach will be limited to one season. The Broncos are planning to fire Davidson, Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post reports (on Twitter).
A former Browns and Panthers offensive coordinator, Davidson will be on the move for a third straight offseason. He coached the Chargers’ O-line in 2016 under Mike McCoy, who also coached alongside Davidson in Carolina. The Broncos firing McCoy did not bode well for Davidson.
The Broncos have not deployed a particularly good offensive line over the past three seasons. The unit’s undergone frequent changes in that span. Denver could well be searching for a new right tackle for the fifth straight season and may be in the market for a new left guard.
However, the Broncos boasted an improved run game under Davidson, vaulting from No. 27 in 2016 to No. 12 this season. And with Ronald Leary, Matt Paradis and Garett Bolles in place for 2018, the team stands to see less turnover up front than it has in recent offseasons.
