Broncos Fire Josh McDaniels

On Monday the Denver Broncos confirmed rumors that Josh McDaniels has been fired. McDaniels became the Broncos head coach last season and got off to a 6-0 start. Since that time the Broncos have lost 17 of their last 20 games.

Last week, Broncos owner, Pat Bowlen announced that McDaniels would be the head coach for the 2011 season. These comments were released after the league fined McDaniels $50K for videotaping a 49ers practice while the two teams were in London.

McDaniels continues the trend of coaches being fired during the season, becoming the third such coach this year. The Broncos have not yet released who will be stepping into the interim position for the remainder of the season.
