Broncos hire Packers TE coach Justin Outten as offensive coordinator

The Denver Broncos are hiring former Green Bay Packers tight ends coach Justin Outten as their new offensive coordinator, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.

Outten follows former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was hired as the new head coach in Denver just last week. Hackett was rumored to bring multiple Packers personnel with him before the Outten hire became official. 

He also added former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to his staff to be the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.

The Broncos fired former head coach Vic Fangio in January after three seasons. Denver went 7-10 this season and was 19-30 under Fangio's command.
