The Broncos have hired Dennis Allen, the secondary coach for the Saints, are their new defensive coordinator. Allen will work under Denver's new head coach, John Fox. The Broncos originally offered the job to former Seattle and Atlanta head coach Jim Mora, who turned them down last week.

The Rams hired former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels as their offensive coordinator on Tuesday. The 34-year-old McDaniels replaces Pat Shurmur, who was hired by the Browns as head coach earlier this month.

Sean McDermott, who was fired by the Eagles on Saturday, could end up with the Broncos or Panthers. Philadelphia fired McDermott, their defensive coordinator for the last two seasons, after they allowed 31 passing touchdowns and had the NFL's worst red zone defense. Carolina and Denver are both looking for coordinators.

Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy will remain with the team to work under new coach John Fox, according to a source. Denver is in the process of finalizing a deal with McCoy, paving the way for the coordinator's third season with the team. McCoy, who worked with Tim Tebow this season, had drawn interest from the Browns and Chiefs.

John Fox vowed to restore pride to the Broncos during his introductory press conference on Friday. Fox is Denver's third coach in a little more than two years. "This is an organization I've admired from afar. I'm proud to stand here in front of you," Fox said. "I'm here to try to add another ring and trophy to that foyer." Fox was repeatedly asked about the status of quarterback Tim Tebow, who started Denver's last three games. "I think (Tebow's) intangibles make that progress accelerate and that's the thing I was most impressed about him," Fox said. "The thing that's impressive about Tim Tebow is he's not afraid to be great."

The Broncos hired John Fox, recently of the Carolina Panthers, to be their next head coach. He signed a four-year contract. "I am excited to announce that John Fox has agreed to terms to become the 14th head coach in Broncos history," John Elway, the team's executive vice president of football operations, stated via twitter.

Because the Broncos owe $3.5 million to Mike Shanahan this season and have paid a multi-million dollar settlement to Josh McDaniels, they are believed to be searching frugally for their next head coach. NFL coordinators Mike Mularkey and Gregg Williams have turned down opportunities to interview with the Broncos.

John Fox has arrived in Denver to interview with the Broncos about their head-coaching vacancy. Wintry weather delayed Fox's flights three times in two days. Fox was originally scheduled to interview Monday. He will be the fifth candidate interviewed to replace Josh McDaniels, who was fired Dec. 6. Fox spent the last nine seasons coaching the Panthers.

Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has withdrawn his name from consideration for Denver's head coaching vacancy. Williams is the third candidate to spurn the Broncos. Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey canceled his interview and Jim Harbaugh left Stanford for the 49ers without granting Denver an audience last week.

The Broncos will interview John Fox on Monday for their vacant head coaching position, according to a league source. Fox finished an NFL-worst 2-14 in 2010 in his final year with the Panthers this past season. On Sunday, Denver will interview Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and Eric Studesville, who went 1-3 as interim Broncos coach after Josh McDaniels was fired last month. Denver also would like to speak with Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers.
