Denver hires Allen as defensive coordinator

Posted Tue Jan 25th by

After all the waiting, Denver has finally found their new man to help resurrect the defense. According to the Denver Post, former Saints’ secondary coach Dennis Allen will be the new defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos.

Those who know John Fox best in the NFL believed the new Broncos head coach might choose an up-and-coming assistant coach as his defensive coordinator. Fox did just that Monday, selecting New Orleans Saints secondary coach Dennis Allen as the Broncos’ sixth defensive coordinator in six years.

Dennis Allen comes from a blitz heavy, hit you in the mouth, and put you out of the game kind of defense that Gregg Williams ran down in New Orleans. The secondary in New Orleans played at the most clutch level possible last season taking down three probable hall of fame quarterbacks in three consecutive playoff games. Allen has the resume, let’s just hope we can see the results on the field.

Sixth defensive coordinator in six years, what a frightening fact. It’s hard just thinking about all the previous ones., Quirell, Lockhart, Lupin, Moody, Umbridge, and Snape… oh wait wrong blog.

    Good hire. Fox is a defense-minded head coach who can help this young man blossom; and the fact that Dennis Allen was tutored by Gregg Robinson has to be a plus. Do I smell an Orange Crush?

    Now, to 3-4, or not to 3-4.

    Now we wait on the CBA.

    I'd like that here please. And some good players.

    I'm pleased to say I had to google those names to get the joke.

  • NMBronc

    And by 'you', please let that be Phyllis.

    At least I had to Google the names to remember their order… yeah that's not as cool.

    Ok hire – but everything is based on the players. We've got to give the guy the tools to be a success, and right now, as a defense, we don't really have them.

    LOL that cracked me up East.

  • TheTroglodyte

    Don't discount guys like Alphonso Smith and J. Moss from making a HUGE impact under the new regime! …. oh wait!

  • areferee

    Now we have coaches…NOW, how about the CBA?

    I like it. with the slim pickins there is at DC in the league right now, this is a good pick up. any uncertainty he has looming over him about creating a good system here in denver can be aleviated by Fox. Fox can help push him in the right direction. our secondary could become pretty steller provided we pick up a good DL.
