UPDATE: 49ers deny permission for Broncos to interview Rich Scangarello

Denver Broncos 2016 Schedule

Not long after the shocking news broke that the Denver Broncos would not have Gary Kubiak as the offensive coordinator next season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that San Francisco 49ers quarterback coach Rich Scangarello is going to interview for the vacant position.

This news is interesting on two fronts.

First, it’s a clear signal that the Broncos are looking to get younger and more innovative in terms of offensive philosophy. Scangarello engineered the top-scoring SCAC offense two years in a row during his stint at Millsap College in Mississippi.

Secondly, it’s interesting because the 49ers have recently blocked run-game coordinator Mike McDaniels from interviewing for offensive coordinator jobs. So, take from that what you will.

Originally a Tom Cable assistant at Idaho and then with the Oakland Raiders, Scangarello coached under Kyle Shanahan in 2015, then again in 2017-18.

UPDATE: 49ers deny request for interview

Well, that settles that!

No soup for you, John Elway.
