Fangio will receive a four-year contract that includes a team option for a fifth year, a source said.

Fangio was one of five candidates to interview for the Broncos' head-coaching job and the final candidate the team met with; his interview was held Monday in Chicago.

The 60-year-old Fangio has spent all but one of the past 33 years as an NFL assistant, including the past four years as Bears defensive coordinator.   He has never been a head coach at any level.

His most recent work includes inheriting a Bears defense that finished 30th in the NFL in 2014, the year before Fangio arrived, and improving the unit to 13th in 2017 before Chicago finished No. 1 in scoring defense and takeaways this season.

The Broncos were listed at 23-1 odds of winning the 2020 Super Bowl.
