During his end-of-season press conference on Jan. 5, Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio said he anticipates the team’s coaching staff returning, including special teams coordinator Tom McMahon.
“I think our special teams performance was a lot like our offense and defense,” Fangio said. “It was choppy at times. We allowed too many negative plays to happen against us in the return game. We had a punt blocked or two that you can’t have. I have confidence in Tom that he’ll get that turned around.
“Tom was a guy that John [Elway] recommended highly to me when I first took this job, and we’ve kept Tom. He’s a tireless worker, very knowledgeable in the kicking game. We just have to — like we do on offense and defense — button up those things to avoid the disastrous plays.”
McMahon certainly hasn’t been a fan favorite since he joined the team in 2018. If the Broncos’ special teams units don’t make considerable progress this year, McMahon probably can’t count on keeping his job beyond 2021.
