The Denver Broncos season was the franchise's 41st season in the National Football League, the 51st overall and the 10th playing their home games at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The off-season was marked by the draft selections of Georgia Tech wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and All-American Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, as well as season-ending injuries to All-Pro linebacker Elvis Dumervil and free agent running back LenDale White. The team failed to improve on its 8–8 record from 2009, and set a new franchise record for losses in a single season, with a 4–12 record. The regular season was marked by a videotaping scandal dubbed ''Spygate II'' and the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels. The Broncos had the league's worst defense in 2010, allowing a league-worst 471 points (29.4 per game) and 6,253 yards.〔(Pro-Football-Reference.com: 2010 NFL Opposition & Defensive Statistics )〕 ==Coaching changes== * On January 13, longtime offensive coordinator/line coach Rick Dennison was hired as the new offensive coordinator for the Houston Texans. * On January 14, longtime running backs coach Bobby Turner was hired to the same position with the Washington Redskins, reuniting him with former Broncos' head coach Mike Shanahan. * On January 18, the Broncos and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan decided to mutually part ways. * On January 23, the following changes were made to the Broncos' coaching staff: Eric Studesville was hired as the new running backs coach.
