Azzanni worked at the University of Tennessee (2013-16), Wisconsin (2012), Western Kentucky (2011), Florida (2009-10), Central Michigan (2007-09), Bowling Green (2001-06) and Valparaiso (1999-2000).

In 2020, Azzanni coached one of the youngest position groups in the NFL after Pro Bowl WR Courtland Sutton suffered a season-ending injury in Week Two. First-round pick Jerry Jeudy totaled 52 catches for 856 yards (16.5 avg.) with three TDs – the second-most receptions (52) and receiving yards (856) ever by a Broncos rookie – while second-rounder KJ Hamler added 30 receptions for 381 yards (12.7 avg.) and three TDs.
