The Denver Broncos honor a coach of the week during football's regular season, and then select a coach of the year at the end of the season.
Honorees are selected by members of the CHSAA staff, the coaches association, as well as the Broncos staff.
Each winner's program will receive a $1,000 grant from the NFL Foundation, as well as $1,000 in product from Gatorade. All winners will be honored at a Broncos game during the season.
To nominate a coach, athletic directors should use this form.
