As the longest-tenured coach on the Broncos’ staff, Zach Azzanni’s survived two head coach firings and was the lone offensive assistant to be retained under first-year head coach Nathan…
“ interviewed like eight or nine coaches they didn’t like, but later they told me my name kept popping up and people like, ‘You should look at this guy,'” Azzanni said. “And finally, God bless John Fox, because he gave me my break. He said, ‘Hey, this guy’s name keeps coming up, why don’t we just interview him?’ I went in to interview and Ryan Pace offered me the job before I left the building.
“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to be on a staff that’s young and vibrant, energetic and innovative,” Azzanni said. “I’ve already learned a ton from Coach Hackett. I’d love to be a head coach in the NFL some day and just watching him, watching his plan, how he goes about his business is a great experience for me. He’s efficient, super detailed, super positive. There’s no stone left unturned. It’s really refreshing because that’s how I’m wired.
“We were over at the neighbors when my phone rang and it was Hackett offering me the job,” Azzanni said. “I called my kids and told them the news and they came out into the street and were just running around, yelling and so excited. That’s the life of a coach’s kid.” Azzanni’s blunt assessment of Jeudy is where the “self-made coach,” as Jones labeled him, stands out. He can simultaneously be hyper-critical of his receivers, while also getting them to buy into his message without taking those harsh assessments personally. It’s where the “standard over feelings” mantra comes in within the Broncos wideout room, where no player is safe from Azzanni’s punctilious eye.
“Obviously, for me to have success and then him bringing in Jerry and KJ and coaching those guys up and those guys having some early success, that all looks good on him,” Sutton said. “The same standard he holds us to, he holds himself to. Us having some success probably contributed to , but it’s more him. It’s the way that he carries himself. It’s the way that he prepares himself and his detail-oriented game-planning.
