Broncos adding former Stanford HC David Shaw to senior personnel position, source says

The Broncos are bolstering their front office with a long-time college coach.

Denver general manager George Paton recently hired former Stanford head coach David Shaw to a senior position in the team’s personnel department, a source with knowledge of the hire confirmed to The Post.

Shaw, 51, has experience coaching in both college and the NFL. Most recently, he served as Stanford’s head coach from 2011-22 during a 16-year stretch he spent at the school. Before that, Shaw spent time as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens.

After the Broncos fired coach Nathaniel Hackett late in 2022, Shaw was one of the group of coaches that interviewed for the head coaching job that eventually went to Sean Payton.

Shaw was named the Pac-12 coach of the year four times during his tenure at Stanford and led the Cardinal to three conference championships. He won 10-plus games there in five of his first six years in charge, but resigned in 2022 after back-to-back 3-9 campaigns.

Now, he’s making a bit of a career change and getting into scouting for the Broncos.

The club has now made a pair of high-profile additions to the personnel department this offseason by adding Shaw and vice president of player personnel Cody Rager, a longtime scout in New Orleans while Payton was the coach there.
