JANUARY 2009 - NUNNELY MOVES TO THE DENVER BRONCOS....
Wayne Nunnely has been hired as the Defensive Line Coach for the Denver Broncos. His experience with running a 3-4
defensive line with the San Diego Chargers should prove invaluable as the Broncos make the shift from the 4-3 to a 3-4
alignment.
Considered one of the top defensive line coaches in the NFL, Nunnely did an outstanding job with the Chargers’ defensive line.
Wayne Nunnely’s unit helped the Chargers finish seventh in the NFL against the run, surrendering just 100.8 yards per game
in 2006. Defensive tackle Jamal Williams turned in another stellar campaign under Nunnely’s watch as he earned his second
trip to the Pro Bowl alternate to the Pro Bowl after posting seven sacks, the fourth-highest total among NFL linemen playing in a
3-4 defense.
With 11 seasons in San Diego, Nunnely was the fourth-longest tenured position coach in team history in 2008, trailing only
Earnel Durden (13 seasons), Joe Madro (12) and Jackie Simpson (12). Only Durden and Madro coached in San Diego without
interruption, making Nunnely’s stretch of 11 straight seasons as an assistant coach the third-longest in team history among the
128 Charger assistant coaches since 1960. Nunnely was on the sideline for 160 consecutive regular-season games since
joining the Chargers in 1997.
The Chargers also ranked first in the NFL in 2005 (84.3 rushing yards allowed). The Chargers led the NFL in 1998 by holding
opponents to just 2.7 yards per attempt, the lowest average allowed by any team in the league since 1970 and the lowest in
team history. The Chargers also led the league in yards allowed per carry in 1999 (3.1) and 2001 (3.3).
Nunnely’s first NFL job was with the New Orleans Saints. He worked at the Saints training camp in 1994 as part of the NFL’s
Minority Coaching Fellowship Program and was hired full-time in 1995. In each of his two years in New Orleans, the Saints
ranked in the top five in the NFL in sacks and sacks per play.
Nunnely spent nearly 20 years as a head coach, assistant coach and administrator on the college level. In 1986, Nunnely was
named head coach at UNLV, a post he manned for four seasons. At the time of his appointment, he was the first African-
American head coach on the West Coast and only the fifth in NCAA Division 1-A history. In 1988, he and Cleve Bryant of Ohio
University became the first African-American head coaches in NCAA Division 1-A history to coach against one another, with
Nunnely’s UNLV squad coming out on top 26-18. In 1990, Nunnely served in the administration at UNLV as the Director of
Minority Student Affairs.
Nunnely played fullback and lettered in track at UNLV for two seasons (1972-73). He earned a bachelor’s degree in physical
education in 1975. The school’s faculty voted him Most Outstanding Male Physical Educator.
Nunnely is the co-creator of "The Snapper," a device used by defensive line coaches around the country designed to simulate
the center snapping the ball.
Nunnely was born in Los Angeles, California. He played football and track at Monrovia High School in Monrovia, California.
Wayne and wife Velda have four children: sons Steven, Channing and Aaron, and daughter Amber.
