After the Denver Broncos gave Nathaniel Hackett a second interview and then appeared to be in no rush to schedule a second interview with Dan Quinn, it became very apparent that Hackett was the favorite to replace Vic Fangio.
Hackett met with general manager George Paton for about 10 hours on Monday, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB. After news broke Wednesday that Hackett had scheduled a second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver moved quickly to finalize a four-year contract with the coach.
Not long after news broke that the Broncos reached an agreement with Hackett, the Chicago Bears finalized a deal with Matt Eberflus to become their new head coach. Quinn had interviewed twice with Chicago.
