Valor Christian High School is close to naming its next head coach, and former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey is the front-runner for the position.

Sources tell 9NEWS that an announcement is expected as early as Monday with a press conference on Tuesday.

McCaffrey has never been a high school head coach, but has been involved in youth football for years. McCaffrey was an assistant coach for Regis Jesuit High School where he worked with the wide receivers, and he hosts the annual Dare to Play Football Camp at Valor.
