From the moment Southern Cal left Lane Kiffin on the curb, Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was one of the first names mentioned as a possible replacement.
While he might eventually take the job, it won’t be soon.
According to Joan Niesen of the Denver Post, Del Rio won’t leave the Broncos during the 2013 season.
Del Rio’s contract in Denver runs through February, which would ostensibly allow the former Trojans linebacker to go back to campus then, but it appears the Broncos want to make sure everyone knows he’s focused on his day job for now.
