The Denver Broncos<\/a> are losing a promising young coach to the University of Miami.<\/p>\n The Hurricanes are hiring Broncos<\/a> offensive quality control coach Favian Upshaw as their new running backs coach, according to a report from the Denver Post’s Luca Evans<\/a>. Before landing that promotion, Upshaw had been working with Lou Ayeni, Denver’s running backs coach, over the last three seasons.<\/p>\n Upshaw, 32, is a former quarterback<\/a> who joined the Broncos in 2023 after coaching stints at Astronaut High School, Savannah State, Benedict College, Georgia Southern (his alma mater) and Tulane. Before landing the RBs coach position at Miami, Upshaw interviewed for Denver’s wide receivers coach opening earlier this offseason (the team ended up hiring Ronald Curry for that role<\/a>).<\/p>\n Broncos<\/a>\u00a0coaching staff changesOC:\u00a0Davis Webb\u00a0(replaced\u00a0Joe Lombardi\u00a0\u2014\u00a0fired<\/a>)PGC:\u00a0John Morton\u00a0(replaced\u00a0Zack Grossi;\u00a0joined Ravens<\/a>)QBs:\u00a0Logan Kilgore\u00a0(replaced\u00a0Webb\u00a0\u2014\u00a0promoted<\/a>)WRs:\u00a0Ronald Curry\u00a0(replaced\u00a0Keary Colbert\u00a0\u2014\u00a0fired<\/a>)Offensive assistant:\u00a0Kyle Kempt\u00a0(could be Favian Upshaw replacement)DPGC:\u00a0Robert Livingston\u00a0(replaced\u00a0Jim Leonhard;\u00a0joined Bills<\/a>)DBs:\u00a0Doug Belk\u00a0CBs: Open (Addison Lynch\u00a0\u2014\u00a0fired<\/a>)Senior assistant: Open (Pete Carmichael\u00a0joined Bills<\/a>)Need a news break?
