Jim Mora near becoming Broncos defensive coordinator
John Fox moves fast. Less than a week after he arrived at Dove Valley as the Broncos new coach, he’s nearly done compiling his coaching staff.
The newest hire likely will be the addition of Jim Mora as defensive coordinator.
Mora, the former Atlanta and Seattle head coach, traveled to Denver on Monday to meet with Fox.
Mora, 49, spent much of his NFL career coaching defensive backs, and he was also the defensive coordinator in San Francisco for five years before his two head coaching stops, first in Atlanta and then with the Seahawks in 2009. He spent 2010 working as an analyst for the NFL Network.
Mora interviewed — and nearly became — Fox’s defensive coordinator in Carolina in 2003. The job ended up going to Mike Trgovac, who held the job until 2008. He now coaches the defensive line in Green Bay, and it was believed Fox was interested in bringing him to Denver, but because of the Packers’ deep playoff run, the Broncos could not talk to him until next week.
