Despite the presence of a quarterback and a prized passer, the Broncos have had a difficult season scoring points. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-russell-wilson-to-denver-broncos-in-blockbuster-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acquisition Russell Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing extensive conversations with (general manager) George (Paton) and our ownership group, we determined a new direction would ultimately be in the best interest of the Broncos,\u201d Walton\u2019s son-in-law, Greg Penner, said in a statement. \u201cThis change was made now out of respect for everyone involved and allows us to immediately begin the search for a new head coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos are already guaranteed to miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season. The team won three consecutive Super Bowls under Pat Bowlen, and went to seven Super Bowls over 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Hackett, who had previously served three seasons as the Green Bay Packers&#8217; offensive coach, was hired by Hackett in January. He edged out former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O\u2019Connell, who instead was hired by the Minnesota Vikings who are 12-3 under him. The Broncos made Hackett their first-round pick and two second-rounders, then signed Wilson to a five year, $245 million contract.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nathaniel Hackett didn\u2019t even get a full year as NFL head coach. After giving up all their picks and having Russell Wilson signed to a contract worth $200 million+, the Broncos are now in a very bad place. You must get Mr. Unlimited fixed. It is possible to fix it unlimited. Is there anyone who can do it? Who\u2019s your hire?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClayTravis\/status\/1607438084714680324?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson is having his worst season and he played poorly on Sunday again, throwing three interceptions. The team averages 15.5 points per match with the potential future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n<p>Hackett has made a number of questionable calls throughout the season. He started the season by having his kicker attempt a 64 yard field goal rather than going for a first-down while Seattle was leading 17-16 with less that a minute left.<\/p>\n<p>Walton was the head of a group that paid an unprecedented $4.65 billion to the team in a deal signed just before the season began. Walton is the 19th-richest person in the country, with a Forbes-estimated worth of $60 Billion. He is also the league&#8217;s most powerful owner. Carolina follows. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/CAR\/carolina-panthers\/\">Panthers<\/a>\u00a0David Tepper, the owner, is worth $16.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s history dates back to 1960. Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Champ Bailey were among the players who led it to victory in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Denver Broncos fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett Monday, following a humiliating 51-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that dropped the team\u2019s record to 4-11.
