Barone was given an additional title as run game coordinator at Wyoming in 1998. From 2000 to 2002, Barone was served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Houston and as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Texas State University in 2003.

Atlanta Falcons

San Diego Chargers

Denver Broncos

In 2009, Barone was hired by the Denver Broncos as their tight ends under head coach Josh McDaniels. In 2010, Barone switched to offensive line coach.

In 2011, Barone was retained and switched back to tight ends coach under new head coach of the Broncos, John Fox. Barone coached Broncos tight end Julius Thomas and in 2013, the Broncos had an offensive record-breaking season and made an appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII.

In 2015, Barone was retained by the Broncos new head coach Gary Kubiak and Barone was switched back to offensive line coach. Barone's offensive line paved the way to victory in Super Bowl 50 and the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10. [1] The 2015 Denver Broncos rushing attack was hampered by multiple injuries in the early part of the season but rebounded to lead the NFL in rushing from week 6 through the end of the season. The 2016 season saw the Broncos again dominate the NFL in rushing for the first part of the season before injuries forced three running backs onto the injured reserved list. [2]
