The Broncos’ offensive coordinator job was open for 48 hours.

Two days after firing Rich Scangarello, coach Vic Fangio announced Tuesday that former New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur would be the Broncos’ fifth play-caller in as many years.

Shurmur, 54, attended the Houston-Kansas City playoff game (his son, Kyle, is a practice squad quarterback for the Chiefs) on Sunday and spent Monday and Tuesday visiting with Fangio and the Broncos’ offensive staff.

The Broncos will be Shurmur’s fourth stop as offensive coordinator, following St. Louis, Philadelphia and Minnesota. He called the plays for the Rams and Vikings as well as during two-year stints as a head coach in Cleveland and for the Giants.

Shurmur is 43-79 as an NFL play-caller.

“Pat is an established play-caller with significant experience leading an offense as both a coordinator and head coach,” Fangio said in a statement. “Having coached against Pat for a number of years, he’s always impressed me. His track record of developing younger players is outstanding.”

As dueling play-callers, Shurmur holds a 3-2 edge over Fangio. All three of Shurmur’s wins (38-10, 20-17 and 23-10) came as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator in 2016-17. Fangio’s two wins came in 2011 (San Francisco 20-10 over St. Louis) and ’16 (Chicago 20-10 over Minnesota).

Shurmur’s first task is deciding how many assistants he retains. The current position coaches are Mike Munchak (offensive line), Zach Azzanni (receivers), Curtis Modkins (running backs), Wade Harman (tight ends) and T.C. McCartney (quarterbacks). Munchak and Azzanni are expected to remain with the Broncos.

“Pat brings a collaborative approach to working with the staff as well as a flexibility to adjust the offense to our players and opponents,” Fangio said. “We’re excited to add someone of his caliber to our coaching staff.”

Fangio went with a first-time NFL play-caller in Scangarello last year, but the seasoned route with Shurmur, who has four years of head-coaching experience and seven full years of play-calling chops on his resume.

Throughout his career, Shurmur has earned praise for his work with quarterbacks Donovan McNabb, Sam Bradford, Nick Foles, Case Keenum and Daniel Jones. Shurmur was the New York Giants’ head coach the past two seasons, posting a 9-23 record. He was fired Dec. 30.

The Broncos lack continuity in terms of offensive philosophy, but Shurmur does inherit building blocks in quarterback Drew Lock, running back Phillip Lindsay, receiver Courtland Sutton and tight end Noah Fant at the skill positions.

Shurmur grew up in Dearborn Heights, Mich., and his uncle, Fritz, was an NFL assistant for 24 years, including Green Bay’s defensive coordinator from 1994-98 under Mike Holmgren, who would later hire Pat as Cleveland’s coach.

Shurmur was a three-year starter at center for Michigan State (1985-87) and the first nine years (1988-97) of his coaching career were with the Spartans’ program.

Shurmur was Stanford’s offensive line coach in 1998 before moving to the NFL.

Working with coach Andy Reid, Shurmur spent nine years with Philadelphia (1999-2008), the first two as tight ends/assistant offensive line coach and the final seven as quarterbacks coach. The Eagles advanced to one Super Bowl during Shurmur’s tenure.

Shurmur’s first play-calling post was with St. Louis (2009-10). The rebuilding Rams went 1-15 and 7-9 in the two years, finishing last and 26th in points scored, respectively. Bradford was NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2010 and running back Stephen Jackson had two 1,200-yard rushing seasons.

Tabbed by Holmgren to coach the Browns, Shurmur went 4-12 and 5-11. The Browns were 30th in scoring (13.6) and moved up to 24th (18.9).

Shurmur returned to Philadelphia (2013-15) as Chip Kelly’s offensive coordinator, but he did not call the plays. In 2013, Foles had 27 touchdowns and only two interceptions, including a seven-touchdown game at Oakland. The Eagles set their scoring franchise record in 2013-14.

Shurmur was the Eagles’ interim coach for the final game of 2015 (a 35-30 win over the Giants).

From Philadelphia, it was on to Minnesota in 2016 as tight ends coach. But at mid-season, he was elevated to offensive coordinator when Norv Turner abruptly resigned. He remained the coordinator in 2017 and it represents his best play-calling season — a 13-3 record, third in rushing (122.3), third on third down (43.5%), 11th in yards (356.9) and 10th in scoring (23.9). Keenum threw the “Minneapolis Miracle” to win the Vikings’ NFC Divisional Round game against New Orleans.

Shurmur took over the Giants in 2018 and the offense ranked 17th in yards (355.1) and 16th in points (23.1). The Giants scored 123 more points than in 2017, quarterback Eli Manning set a career high with a 63.1% completion rate and rookie running back Saquon Barkley made the Pro Bowl.

This past season, the Giants slipped to 18th in points (21.3) and 23rd in yards (338.5). After an 0-2 start, Shurmur made the bold move to bench Manning and hand the keys to Jones, the sixth overall pick. Jones had 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 12 starts.
