Former New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur has been appointed offensive co-ordinator at the Denver Broncos.
Shurmur was sacked by the Giants in December after two seasons in charge of the NFL franchise, where he managed a 9-23 record.
The 54-year-old, however, has landed on his feet after joining the Broncos for the 2020 season.
"Pat is an established play-caller with significant experience leading an offense as both a co-ordinator and head coach," head coach Vic Fangio said on Tuesday.
"Having coached against Pat for a number of years, he's always impressed me. His track record of developing younger players is outstanding.
"Pat brings a collaborative approach to working with the staff as well as a flexibility to adjust the offense to our players and opponents. We're excited to add someone of his calibre to our coaching staff."
