LITTLETON, Colo. — Joe Collier, the legendary Denver Bronco s defensive coordinator who created the famed"Orange Crush" defense, died at his Littleton home Monday night, the team announced. He was 91 years old.
Collier was initially hired as a scout during the 1968 season but made the shift to defense the next season. He served as the defensive backs coach for three seasons before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 1972 and assistant head coach/ defensive coordinator in 1982. The"Orange Crush" defense came to be in 1976 when Collier switched the team to a 3-4 defense — three down linemen and four linebackers. The defense featured nine future Broncos Ring of Fame players and struck fear into many opponents.
In a statement, the team called Collier"one of the most impactful coaches in the history of the Denver Broncos."
