Video Killed The Broncos Head Coach: Josh McDaniels

It seems that video did more than kill the radio star, it killed Josh McDaniels’s reign as head coach of the Denver Broncos.

On Monday, the Denver Broncos confirmed that McDaniels was fired because of the team’s performance and the negative impact on the Broncos reputation brought on by the video tape scandal.

Broncos video coordinator Steve Scarnecchia was caught video taping the San Francisco 49ers walkthrough practice on Oct. 30 in London. McDaniels was aware of the incident, but never reported it to the team. He was fined $50,000 and the team was fined an additional $50,000.
McDaniels record as the Broncos head coach was 8-8 in 2009 (2nd best in the AFC West) and 3-9 in 2010 (4th place in the AFC West).
