How about hiring Mike Leach as offensive Coord.
Humdinger(sp), has had two years to show what he's got....and has not shown much at all. Now I don't know how much this is due to Shanahan's philosophy, but I think Denver should offer the OC job to Texas Tech's head coach Mike Leach! Coach Leach has proven time and time again that he knows the aerial passing game. Its a great match for Denver, especially with a strong armed Cutler and the Broncos cast of current receivers.
If anything, Leach's passing innovations will breath new life into the Broncos stagnant and stale offense. Lets go ahead and offer the offensive genius of the College Football passing game a contract he can't refuse. Leach currently earns around $1.275 million per year at Texas Tech.
Mike Shanahan should relate to a passing genius like Leach b/c the passing game is who Shanahan once was known for, especially with the Forty Niners! Someone gave Shanahan a chance/opportunity to become an un-proven NFL Offensive Coordinator....why not extend the opportunity to Mike Leach!!!
I bet Leach would leave Texas Tech if the Bronco's offered him a 6 year guaranteed deal of lets say $2.5 million per year the first 3 years, and then $3.5 million his last three years. Bowlens pockets are deep! and of course, coaches salaries do not count against the salary cap. So there no financial excuses here! Perhaps a lack of vision and thinking outside the box on behalf of the Broncos---should choose not to hire Leach, but Denver can dam sure afford it!
Mike Leach, arguably one of the most innovative offensive coaches in the country, has not only transformed Texas Tech Football, but also the face of college football with an all-out aerial assault. This is evidenced by the number of programs incorporating more passing into their schemes than before. Leach's offense has become a hot, imitable commodity; but none have mastered it like the eighth-year Red Raider head coach.
Leading the nation's most prolific passing offenses in the country, Leach, who received the All-American Football Foundation's Johnny Vaught Head Coach Award last year, spreads the field with his exciting brand of football and guided the Red Raiders to four-straight NCAA passing titles and three-consecutive total offense titles during his tenure. Leach's offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, but surpassed those numbers in each of the last seven seasons. His seven teams have combined for over 151 team and individual records at Tech.
Texas Tech has established itself as one of the nation's leading producer of quarterbacks since the 2000 season. Quarterback Graham Harrell turned in the fourth-best single-season passing performance for a sophomore in NCAA history, throwing for 4,555 yards in his starting debut last year. Tech also won at least eight games for the fifth-straight season for the first time in school history. Cody Hodges and Kliff Kingsbury each posted nine-win seasons during their careers, while 2003 and 2004 signal callers B.J. Symons and Sonny Cumbie and Harrell each won eight games in their respective seasons as the starter.
