Josh McDaniels fired as Broncos coach

The Broncos have fired coach Josh McDaniels, the team confirmed today. McDaniels was fired in part because the Broncos had fallen to a 3-9 record, but also because of the integrity hits the franchise received following its video tape scandal.

Broncos video coordinator Steve Scarnecchia was caught video taping the San Francisco 49ers walkthrough practice on Oct. 30 in London. McDaniels was aware of the incident, but never reported it to the team. He was fined $50,000 and the team was fined an additional $50,000.

The team will announce an interim coach soon.
