ENGLEWOOD — New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Denver Broncos’ head coaching vacancy.

Williams is the third candidate to spurn John Elway, the Broncos’ new chief football executive.

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey canceled his interview and Jim Harbaugh left Stanford for the San Francisco 49ers without granting Elway an audience last week.

In for interviews Tuesday are offensive coordinators Rick Dennison of the Houston Texans and Dirk Koetter of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Former Carolina coach John Fox will interview Wednesday.
