On 21 July, Coach Anthony Griffin was informed his services would not be required in 2015. Griffin agreed to see out the remainder of the 2014 season. When asked by the media what he said to the players, Griffin said "I told them I got the arse". At the time of his sacking Griffin had a coaching record of 51 wins from 93 games.

Later the same day, it was announced that Wayne Bennett had signed a three-year deal to coach the Broncos from 2015. Bennett is the inaugural coach of the Broncos having coached them from 1988 to 2008.
