Wayne Nunnely is retiring

Wayne Nunnely is retiring after spending the last three seasons as the Denver Broncos defensive line coach. His decision is based on a desire to spend more time with his wife and three children.

"This was not an easy decision, but it was the right one for me and my family," Nunnely said. "At this stage of my life, I want to devote more time to my wife, Velda, and the rest of our family. They have been with me every step of the way through an incredible career that I’ve been so blessed to enjoy. The NFL has a wonderful retirement plan, and it’s time for me to begin the next chapter of my life."

Jay Rodgers, who spent the last three seasons as a defensive assistant with the club now takes over as defensive line coach. Rodgers spent last season working primarily with Nunnely and the defensive line, so he should be ready to step in, and at this point it looks like he was being groomed for the role.
