Broncos general manager George Patton will begin searching for a replacement this week.

After three seasons, the Denver Broncos and head coach Vic Fangio have parted ways.

"Fangio was fired Sunday morning, one day after a season-ending 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs," reported NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The team later confirmed the news.

Fangio started coaching the Broncos in 2019 and leaves with a 19-30 record.

Broncos general manager George Patton, who will begin searching for Fangio's replacement this week, said, "I have tremendous respect for Vic and all he's accomplished in the NFL. Over the past year, I appreciate his partnership, friendship and the tireless work ethic he demonstrated as our head coach ... With the foundation in place, the progress that's been made and the resources we have to get better, I'm excited about the future of our team. We will find an outstanding leader and head coach for the Broncos and our fans."

Prior to being the head coach for the Broncos, Fangio was a defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Carolina Panthers.
