The Broncos fired Vic Fangio on Jan. 9. He interviewed for the Jaguars’ head coaching job that went to Doug Pederson.
He also had multiple offers to become a defensive coordinator for the 2022 season.
But Fangio has decided against taking a defensive coordinator job for this season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Fangio likely takes this season off before returning in 2023.
Fangio, 63, went 19-30 in his three seasons coaching the Broncos.
He was more successful as a defensive coordinator in stints with the Panthers (1995-98), Colts (1999-2001), Texans (2002-05), 49ers (2011-14) and Bears (2015-18).
Nine times Fangio’s defenses have finished in the top 10 in points allowed and in total yards allowed.
