Forner Warhawk, Eric Studesville, named interim head coach of the Denver Broncos


- Congratulations to former UW-Whitewater defensive back Eric Studesville on being the new head coach of the Denver Broncos The veteran NFL assistant (running backs) coach was named interim head coach of the Denver Broncos Monday following the firing of Josh McDaniels earlier in the day. Studesville joined the Broncos in January after serving as running backs coach in Buffalo the previous six years.

"I am very appreciative of the trust that Mr. Bowlen and the entire Denver Broncos organization have shown in me," Studesville said. "Although the circumstances that this opportunity resulted from are unfortunate, I am excited to lead this football team. We have a great group of players and coaches who are committed to finishing the season on a promising note and making our fans proud of this team."

Studesville’s NFL coaching career began in 1997 with the Chicago Bears. Studesville spent the last six seasons (2004-09) coaching the position in Buffalo following a three-year stint (2001-03) in that capacity with the New York Giants.

Studesville graduated from UW-Whitewater with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. The Nadison native was a defensive back for the Warhawks (1986-1988) and is 12th in the UWW record book with 12 career interceptions.
