List of Denver Broncos head coaches

Sports Authority Field at Mile High (formerly Invesco Field at Mile High) has been the home of the Broncos since 2001.

The Denver Broncos are a professional American football franchise based in Denver, Colorado. They are members of the West Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team began playing in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger. The team has played their home games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High since 2001.[1] The Broncos are currently owned by Pat Bowlen.[2]

There have been 15 head coaches for the Broncos franchise. The franchise's first head coach was Frank Filchock, who coached until 1961.[3] Mike Shanahan is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular season games coached (208), the most regular season game wins (130), and the most playoff game wins (8).[4] Shanahan and Dan Reeves, are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13).[4][5] Shanahan was the first Broncos head coach to win a Super Bowl following the 1997 season, and repeated the feat following the 1998 season.[4] The Broncos next Super Bowl victory was for Super Bowl XL following the 2015 season under the leadership of coach Gary Kubiak who had previously played for Denver and served as an Assistant Coach. Jack Faulkner, John Ralston, Red Miller, and Reeves have been named the United Press International (UPI) NFL Coach of the Year, at least once with the Broncos.[6] Filchock, Faulkner, Mac Speedie, Jerry Smith, Ralston, and Miller spent their entire coaching careers with the Broncos.[3][7][8][9][10][11] Speedie, Ray Malavasi, Miller, Shanahan, and Kubiak have been assistant coaches with the Broncos before they became head coaches with the Broncos.[12]
