Good for Keith. He was the last guy on our team, player or coach, who won a superbowl as a Bronco.

He's not a coach.

Good for Tick.

Good deal for Burns. Hope it works out well.

elsid13 · 02-12-2013, 02:30 PM

Wonder if he is bringing the golden boots to DC?

Kaylore · 02-12-2013, 02:41 PM

Did you guys know that Keith went to the high school from Remember the Titans and his coach was Bill Yoast, from the movie? I got to meet him at camp a few years ago.

RedskinBronco · 02-12-2013, 02:44 PM

I'll take it.

He is a DC local guy. As Kaylore mentioned, he went to TC Williams.

good for Keith. What was he doing before this gig?

He was Denver's Assistant ST Coordinator. Basically the understudy to the real deal. Now he gets to be the guy!

It seems like he was there forever, too. 2007-2012 is quite a long time to sit on as an assistant.

I was hoping Burns would take over as ST coordinator with Fox coming in, but he stayed as assistant.

I wasn't too fond of bringing in Jay Rodgers, but with the way our special teams has been, I can't complain.

holy ****! Keith Burns is only 40? it seemed like he was with the Broncos forever. i remember watching him play when i was a kid.
congrats to him on the promotion.

Yeah, it pisses me off that he is younger than me.... Oh where has the time gone?

Rocket 7 · 02-13-2013, 09:11 AM
