Just discussing other openings and who may be interested in certain coaches, to see who may poach whatever coach we are looking at.

Available candidates out there.

Kyle Shanahan
Vance Joseph
Tom Coughlin
Scott Linehan
Anthony Lynn
Josh McDaniels
Rick Dennison
Jim Harbaugh

Openings:

Buffalo.

This is where Lynn will end up. I think he is worth discussing in the mix at Denver as I think he did well in Buffalo once he took over the offense, but I don't think Buffalo gives him a chance to get on a plane.

Jacksonville.

I think this is where Coughlin goes. I think Jacksonville will wan a guy who can just right the ship and will not want to take a chance on an unproven HC after Bradley. Works for me, I have no interest in Coughlin and feel he is the wrong man for the job here.

LA.

I think LA swings a deal to get Sean Payton. They are looking for an experienced coach and a splashy hire and a guy to mold their young QB. He meets all the requirements.

N.O.

With losing Payton, I think McDaniels is headed to N.O. He will be a good match with Brees and speedy slot guy Cooks. Suits me fine, no interest in a McDaniels rerun.

That basically leaves Denver, SD and SF competing over anyone else.

I think Dennison is out. Only reason I have him here is if Elway wants continuity on the offense. I don't think he goes this direction.

Only team I hear "interested" in Vance Joseph is Denver. We will interview him I am sure but I just can't bring myself to believe Vance is truly a top candidate. Miami's defense really wasn't that good and our own defense wasn't a problem.

I think we go offense.

I am all in on Kyle Shanahan. I think he offers some continuity with a similar offense, but adds creativity and recent success. His birds are flying high right now.

Harbaugh is on the list only because he is always on someone's list. I don't really think he is leaving Michigan.

I have Linehan on the list because of the success Dallas has had this year. How much of that is because of Linehan?

I don't think Kyle will be interested in SD. I just don't think what they have fits the mold of the offense he runs. I think SD will be hiring someone not on my list but Linehan could be a candidate here.

I think it could be close between Denver and SF for Kyle.

Will SF want to take a chance on a young HC after the failed marriage with Harbaugh and horrible hires of Tomsula and Kelly? Will they, like Jacksonville, want someone who can just come in and right the ship? I think they will want someone not on my list. On top of this, does Kyle even want a total reclamation project as his first gig?

I think we have the best chance of getting him, assuming John wants to go this direction.

Dark Horse.

Indy.

Most things I read indicate Pagano is currently safe because of the cost to get rid of him. If this changes, Kyle goes here. Luck would be a dream QB for Kyle.

Most big names like having full player roster control and elway will not allow that. So that may trim the options. Also depending on who their coordinators are as well. 3-4 defense is perfect for our roster. 4-3 wnot fit and would ask miller to be de again and ray would be moved to a back up and would need more coverage LB.

And if the report that wade philips has an invite to rwmain as DC then coach would need to accept that

Rick

Would imagine any coach would want Wade to say on, outside of that one control freak coach we had for a few games, can't remember his name now. McDeveroux or something.

I think you meant Jim Harbaugh but I don't think Jim or John are serious candidates. They're both head coaches in cushy gigs already.

Rick
01-01-2017, 11:00 PM
You are correct, I meant Jim.

I agree, I don't see him going back to the NFL, but as he is always on everyone's list I tossed him there.

Another name mentioned in another thread by some is Jim Bob Cooter. The success he has had with both Manning and Stafford, that rings Rivers to me. I could see that has a very good fit while SD maximizes the time he has left.

BORDERLINE

I would like this hire as well. Chargers play tuff mostly. A lot of injuries and just a difficult city to play in. They are always an away team.

McCoy did a great job playing to players strengths (Tebow) he can put whoever our QB is a a good situation

Rick
01-01-2017, 11:10 PM
I think it is possible SD could also consider Austin and try and*build a competitive tough defense.

Either way, I do not think SD is completion for Kyle if that is*who we are trying for.

I really didn't think Dennison had a shot but didn't know what Elway was planning in regards to continuity.

We can officially rule Dennison out, Elway was asked if anyone on the current staff was being considered for HC and he said no.

An Elway-Shanahan connection again? Broncos have requested permission to interview Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan, per source.

Rick
01-02-2017, 12:56 PM
Has there been any other reports on teams requesting to meet with him?

Latest I read indicated SF might be interested in McDaniels. If so, that might take them out of competition for Kyle, though I still think McDaniels ends up with the Saints because of Brees.

Kyle rins a zone block type scheme as well. Modified kubiak system.

I think he would also keep wade as opposed to an older established coach who has his people

Rick
01-02-2017, 02:44 PM
I am still most worried about the Colts and what they do with Pagano.

I think we are close enough to being a contender that we can battle to get whatever coach we want with nearly any team.

The temptation to coach a QB of Luck's caliber...that could be something we cannot contend with.

We can officially rule Dennison out, Elway was asked if anyone on the current staff was being considered for HC and he said no.

Why on earth would Elway want to PROMOTE Dennison after the spectacular fail on offense? Unlike corporate America there's very little "failing upward" in the NFL. It's too easy to see lack of performance when you get a "W" or an "L" on your report card every week. You don't just come to an NFL job, fail miserably to win games because your offense sucks, and then get a head coaching job.

If I were Dennison, I'd be talking to my agent a lot.

Nomad
01-02-2017, 03:25 PM
Keeping Dennison anywhere near Dove Valley would be a fail on Elway's part.

Rick
01-02-2017, 03:28 PM
Only reason he was on the list was he was interviewed for the position twice before. Wasn't going to rule him out.

They gave up a first round draft pick. And then Gruden knew absolutely every play Rich Gannon was going to run in the SB. And the Tampa defense crushed them. And Dexter Jackson (?) was SB MVP.

Lyn is intriguing but I don't think Buffalo lets him go, and I am a little worried about his experience.

He has only been an OC for this season.

I would prefer looking at him over any other current candidate other than Kyle though.

Personally if we were to look at a young coach with limited NFL OC or DC experience, I would prefer they look at Shaw from Stanford.

The answer is not a defensive head coach. Well, not necessarily. If the HC is a defensive guy, but he leaves Wade Phillips in, and then finds a strong OC, that's fine. But if we lose out on Wade Phillips my soul will be on fire.

For the love of god get Sean Payton.

Watched some stupid video, I think on ESPN, that the guy was saying he feels SF is best. He lost all credibility when he gave a reason why being the cupboard is bare there and the coach can build it entirely how he wants.

To me this is junk, a new coach won't be given that kind of time in most jobs to completely rebuild, and especially not in SF.

I'm on board the shanny jr train, but...Someone posted earlier the offensive rankings of teams with offensive minded coaches and teams with defensive minded coaches...Let's just say at least this year, defensive minded coaches seem to have the leg up (by a large amount) I think the reason for that is when you have an offensive minded coach, he tends to meddle in the offense. When it's a defensive minded coach, he's more likely to let the OC run his own scheme the way he wants it. If you have a strong OC, that might be the better way IMO.

from article:


The process to find Gary Kubiak's replacement begins in earnest this weekend. The Broncos will interview Kansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub on Friday, Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan on Saturday and Miami defensive coordinator Vance Joseph likely early next week.

Joseph interviewed well with the Broncos two years ago, leading to an offer for the defensive coordinator's job, but the Bengals blocked the move. Joseph worked with Kubiak in Houston and provides a rather unique skill set as a former quarterback with a defensive coach's background. If the Dolphins lose at Pittsburgh, the expectation is Joseph will interview in Denver. With a Dolphins win, the Broncos could travel to Miami to speak with him.

According to NFL columnist Alex Marvez, the Broncos' job is Joseph's "to lose." One thing is certain: Joseph is a strong candidate. As is Shanahan. NFL Network said Shanahan's preference is the Broncos' position even as he interviews earmarked with Jacksonville, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Shanahan leads the the NFL's highest-scoring offense. He has grown as a coordinator, brings expertise in coaching the offensive line (a clear Denver issue) and appears ready to take the next step.

This doesn't make sense. Why would a previous DC come in and promote a current guy to DC, he would bring in his own guys. I could see them promoting Woods if an previous OC came in as coach but not this.

It seems unrealistic to me that Wade wouldn't chafe at his protege's suggestions for improvement...suggestions period...but I get that he's a pro and can follow orders. It's possible that the DC DC opening is just a sweet enough gig to tip him that direction.

A lot depends on the maturity of VJ, if he ends up the guy. What Wade has built here is no minor thing...love to see it continue as it is...was.

Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is unemployed, but he wants to stay in Denver. With a vacancy now in Washington, could the Super Bowl 50 champions have some competition?

Three years ago, Phillips was a candidate to join Jay Gruden’s initial staff. Given the NFL’s advancement-limiting rules that allow teams to block position coaches under contract from accepting promotions to a coordinator position elsewhere, finding a new coordinator can be a challenge.

And it’s possible that the availability of Wade Phillips, regarded as one of the great defensive minds in the game, has motivated the decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

It will be interesting to see whether Washington complies with the unwritten expansion of the Rooney Rule, which now applies to coordinator positions that become open under an incumbent head coach. Seven years ago, Washington made a mockery of the Rooney Rule by interviewing Jerry Gray for a vacancy that didn’t even exist so that a path could be cleared for the quick hiring of Mike Shanahan to coach the team.

It was Mike Shanahan who brought his son, Kyle Shanahan, to Washington. And it could be the presence of Wade’s son, tight ends coach Wes Phillips, that lures Wade to town as well.

KUSA - The process of making the most important decision of the Denver Broncos’ immediate future had moved to the Westin Hotel at Crown Center in downtown Kansas City.

It was Kansas City Chiefs’ special teams coordinator Dave Toub interviewing with five members of the Broncos’ hierarchy: Team president Joe Ellis, general manager John Elway, director of player personnel Matt Russell, do-everything administrator Mark Thewes and the Broncos’ vice president of public relations among other duties, Patrick Smyth.

At stake: The Broncos’ head coaching position vacated earlier this week when Gary Kubiak retired.

The meeting lasted nearly 4 hours, which could be a good sign for Toub. Interviews for non-serious candidates tend to last 2 or 3 hours.

Some head coach candidates are hot because of their offense. See the Broncos’ contingent scheduled meeting Saturday with Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Some candidates are hot because of their defense. See the Broncos’ interest in Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, who bring a 10-6 record into their AFC wild-card playoff game Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Toub is a hot special teams coordinator. See, Tyreek Hill returning two punts and a kickoff for touchdowns this year and Devin Hester’s record-setting work in Chicago a decade ago.

But Toub, 54, is also considered a stronger leader. Shanahan has only led offensive players. Joseph has only led defensive players. Special teams coordinators have to deal with players on both offense and defense.

In his 16 NFL seasons, Toub has been part of nine playoff appearances, five conference championship games, and one Super Bowl appearance.

Joseph is considered the frontrunner. He sold the Broncos’ contingent two years ago when interviewing for the head job Gary Kubiak received.

Elway may be seeking some stronger discipline for his team that appeared to splinter late in the season and Joseph is considered both a players’ coach who has an alpha style of leadership.

But Toub’s ability to lead is considered off the charts. The Broncos may make their decision on a new head coach as soon as next week.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have finished interviews with the first two candidates for their head coaching job, and Miami Dolphins Vance Joseph potentially will be up next in the coming days.

AND


If the Broncos don’t make a deal with one of those initial three candidates or simply decided they need to speak to more, Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could get a long look, as could Buffalo Bills interim head coach Anthony Lynn, a former Broncos player and assistant coach.

As of the close of business Friday, the Broncos had reviewed those two candidates but had not formally requested permission to interview either of them as they appeared to zero in on Shanahan, Toub and Joseph in what is a competitive marketplace with six teams on the hunt for new head coaches.

Well, you might think a Defensive Coordinator might think to himself: "Maybe we should consider covering Antonio Brown in the first 8 minutes of the game? Maybe that would be a good idea." But, apparently this future Head Coach didn't figure that out: "How do we not let Antonio Brown beat us. Double-team him or something, but don't let him get 120 yards and 2 TDs in the first half."

And it's not as if this is a huge surprise prior to the game either: "Who is this Antonio Brown guy anyway? Never head of him!" He only has 106 receptions for 1284 yards and 12 TDs. Nobody could have guessed that Roethlisberger might have been looking to rely on Antonio Brown, right?

Klis has already stated in on air interviews with the fan that Elway just doesn't care either way if Wade is back. It's not a priority for him in the coaching search. It's also been speculated that Elway would rather move on without Wade in an ego trip much like Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson situation, although I think that is a little overblown and Klis was less convinced about that being the case.

I agree Mo, but do you find it the last bit concerning that he has led a defense ranked in the bottom half of the league in just about everything? That in their playoff game so far every time their opponent has had the ball they've scored s touchdown?

I understand that we're not interviewing him for DC and that we're not bringing the Dolphins players here, but we have nothing to base how we feel about him other than his performance.

I agree Mo, but do you find it the last bit concerning that he has led a defense ranked in the bottom half of the league in just about everything? That in their playoff game so far every time their opponent has had the ball they've scored s touchdown?

I understand that we're not interviewing him for DC and that we're not bringing the Dolphins players here, but we have nothing to base how we feel about him other than his performance.

For the record, I'm ok with whomever Elway chooses as I don't have the knowledge required to second guess him. That being said, my gut tells me to prefer Kyle.

One game is never indicative of your ability as a coach. Never.

A great coach can make a good group great and a great group dominate.

I would hope a great coach could make his group at least compete.

I am not down on VJ because he is not number 1, I am down on him because his group is pretty much the worst.

I wonder if watching this game is going to have any effect on Elway. But this Miami defense is certainly not going out kicking and screaming. This is a lack-luster effort in which unmotivated guys make bad tackles or take bad angles and let Antonio Brown get behind your defense.

Remember when Elway said that "kicking and screaming" was what he wanted to see in a team? Well, what we're seeing out of Miami today, this ain't it.

Or he's not grading V J's ability as a DC as the main thing. What bothers me is that V J is supposed to be this great motivator of men. Well, motivating means getting guys ready to play with intensity in the big games. A road playoff game is "the big game" yet Miami's defense is getting completely run over in the first half.

Every commenter I've heard was predicting Pittsburgh in a rout, and that's what's happening. Talk about getting a promotion for an epic fail!

Since the new coach is not going to be drafting, Denver will not do insane things like trade a first round pick for a second rounder, then jettison the player selected after a single season because he's a bust. So, no, nothing will be as bad as when McMoron was here. That is small comfort though.

As mentioned before, I compare this guy to Dennis Allen.

Over hyped defensive backs coach. In Allen's case, he rode his over hype to getting hired by The Faiders and flaming out.

I agree that talent plays a huge part in how well your team does, but if you are remotely good at your job you should at least be able to compete.

I would not be arguing as much if his group was at least middle of the pack, that would show he took a bad group and as a leader of men with a great football mind,*and made them compete.

All I am seeing is a coach that took a team with less talent and just let the talent dictate the way they would play.

It is the same with our team. Kubiak, Dennison and Baron did a shit job with our offensive line. There is a reason why Dennison, who interviewed twice for the job before, didn't get a sniff this time. Because he sucked at his job and failed to make his group better. Why would VJ not be held to that same standard?

To be fair, Allen was our DC and took the league's worst defense and put us in the middle of the pack. It was only after that that he got the Oakland job. Also, he had way less talent than Joseph has in Miami. He also had a worse offense with Tebow to have to cover for than Joseph has in Miami. I'm not saying Joseph can't be a decent HC, but his performance as DC of a not exactly devoid of talent defense is terrible.

See Rick in example high fived you, but he said Elway should be fired if Wade isn't brought back. What I'm seeing is a lot of wishy washy, talking out of both sides of the mouth from some here in regards to Joseph's rumors of not wanting Wade back and Joseph is condemn for that.

If you mean Wade, what are you basing it on that Elway does not want him on staff, and Elway does not really care if he's back with the organization?

Carol I think this is what posters are basing there thoughts on what Cugel posted yesterday. We've seen too many times where there is smoke there is fire. After seeing where Miami has been ranked at and not having a plan to deal with Brown and Bell, knowing how good these guys are is a concern for me.

I get that our O has to get a lot better to be competitive. So why not go after the guy that has made all the O's he's been at better and leave to D to work with the man that they care about and has done some really good things in Denver.

Plus a leader of men makes me smile. Most of these guys are young and have not had to deal with real life on so many levels. I've seen a lot more than a few of the players drive Bentleys. In my all my years and there have been many I've never done that. IMO having a competitive O and winning will bring that locker room right back together. Plus someone that has lived most of his young life in football one way or another has seen a lot and seems to have made adjustments to help even in difficult situations.

Report: Vance Joseph wouldn’t keep Wade Phillips

Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is one of a handful of candidates to replace Gary Kubiak as head coach of the Broncos. If Joseph gets the job, Kubiak won’t be the only big-name coach leaving the team.

Alex Marvez of SportingNews.com reports that Joseph would promote defensive backs coach Joe Woods to the position of defensive coordinator. This means that defensive coordinator Wade Phillips would not be returning.

The thing too about any of the candidates other than Shanny, our biggest weakness is offense.

Who are they brining in at OC to actually address the only issue this team has, offense??

McCoy would not be a good pick at OC. I contribute all the offensive success he had to Frank Reict and Wisenhut.

Either one of them coming in at HC, keeping Wade as DC and staying the hell out of his way, and brining in a talent offensive guy and staying the hell out of his way, fine.

Bring in someone with some imagination, maybe someone from college. I actually wouldn't mind Chip Kelly as OC.

More than likely though it would be something like VJ, Woods at DC and McCoy at OC and that would not be acceptable.

I don't want either Toub or Joseph.

I don't think Elway should be fired if Wade isn't brought back, I think Elway should be fired if he hires a guy like VJ to take over and Wade is dumped and the defense regresses.

I would take Toub over Joseph though, and the reason for the high 5, is because at least Toub had success at the job he was hired to do.

No wishy washy from me there.

Personally my biggest issue is that it's just too soon.

If he had been coordinator for a few years and had demonstrated an ability to run the defense and improve on it, it wouldn't be as bad. Still wouldn't love it but wouldn't hate it as much.

He has had a top coordinator position for one season and it was bad.

Outside of Shanny there really isn't any coordinator that excites me in the NFL, if going for a young guy I would be more intrigued by a guy like Shaw or similar from College who ran a successful program and had an exciting offense.

I wouldn't want Joseph OR Woods running the defense yet, we are still too close to a superbowl contender to take a chance on an unexperienced leader of the defense when that is our greatest strength.
