Defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes resigned Saturday after the Denver Broncos’ second consecutive disappointing season.
“Ray Rhodes ... felt like he wasn’t getting the job done,” the Broncos said in a statement.
Rhodes was unavailable for comment.
Rhodes met Friday with Coach Mike Shanahan, who excused him from his contract, according to the Denver Post.
Denver’s defense improved from 24th in the league to eighth last season and sixth this season, but the Broncos missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.
