Most logical head coaches for the Denver Broncos in 2023
Most logical 2023 head coaching candidates for the Broncos
Leslie Frazier
This candidate might not excite many in Broncos Country, but Frazier is a good coach. He has coached at the NFL level since 1999, so 23 years total. He does have head coaching experience as well from 2010-2013 with the Minnesota Vikings. Their quarterback situation back then was not great, so I don’t hold his lack of success against him.
He’s bounced around several teams as a defensive coordinator and as a secondary/defensive backs’ coach. Most recently, he was brought on to be the Bills’ defensive coordinator from 2017-2019.
Then, in 2020, he was promoted to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. The Bills have had a solid defense for years, and Frazier is a big reason for that. The 63 year old has been around the block many times, so the biggest thing that would excite me about him being a head coach is the connections he’s made and the staff he’d build.
I think he’d build a phenomenal staff filled with experienced coaches, which is exactly what the Broncos need. He probably would not be the best hire, but I don’t think the Broncos could do much better if he indeed became the team’s next head coach.
