The coaching staff is now completed for the Denver Broncos for the 2020 season as Mike Shula will coach the quarterbacks for the team.
There has been quite a bit of rumbling going on that the Denver Broncos were able to get their quarterback’s coach in Mike Shula. While the process did take some time, the team and the coach that will be responsible for helping Drew Lock get through his second season and hopefully beyond.
The Denver Broncos made it official on Tuesday as the team will go with a long time coach in the NFL. Shula will be tasked in helping out new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur get the offense back to its successful days. Denver ranked near the bottom in the NFL in almost every major stat for an offense.
Having Shula as the quarterbacks coach made all the sense once Shumur got the offensive coordinator position. But Shula had shown what he could do when he worked with Daniel Jones of the New York Giants last season.
His body of work also involves leading the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl 50 with Cam Newton as the most valuable player in the league that year. Shula’s offense that year helped lead to a 15-1 record. But Broncos Country knows what happened to those Panthers once they got to the Super Bowl.
I think having a guy like Mike Shula on the offensive side of the ball will help in the development of Drew Lock. With this new haul on the offensive side of the ball as far as coaches, there should be a great deal of improvement.
It could only go up from here if the Broncos can find some solid players in the draft to help this offense that just looks so promising. Here is to hoping that Mike Shula and Pat Shumur can get the Broncos back on track in 2020.
