What a bunch of Mularkey!!!

Good interview but I hope they continue the search for awhile.


No need to rush and hire the first guy that comes in. We made that mistake a couple of years ago. This is a great organization and should be one of the most appealing places if you want to be a HC in the NFL.

Meh, we could do better but we could do much worse. He didn't really have much talent to work with in Buffalo. Granted we aren't oozing talent but if Tebow is the QB we hope he is that will be a great start.

What does the Florida connection mean for Tebow? Anything, nothing?

It's kind of interesting though

It is interesting to note that Mularkey first made his name as "inspector gadget" as the OC for Pittsburgh creating packages and plays that worked to players strengths. ..

That's interesting in that it shows the team is interested in someone who will utilize Tebow's strenghts.

He also likes punishing offenses that can run the ball. That would be nice.

Well that sucks.

A former NFL tight end, Mularkey has resurrected his coaching career as the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons. Mularkey, who has also been an offensive coordinator with Pittsburgh and Miami, is getting a lot of credit for the Falcons’ resurgence and particularly his work with quarterback Matt Ryan.

Mularkey’s success with a young quarterback is interesting because Denver has rookie quarterback Tim Tebow, who appears like he may be ready to be the full-time starter in 2011. Denver will be interested in finding a successful offensive coach to help Tebow develop.

Bill Williamson predicted him to interview last week.

Sounds like a great OC to me, not a Head Coach. Please let there be many more candidates interviewed.

eww

What? Denver interviewed McD, Leslie Fraiser, Raheem Morris, Jason Garrett...and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Spags and Dennison may have even had their turn..I can't remember. McD was the "hot" commodity a couple of yrs ago, I don't blame Bowlen one bit for hiring him.

I'm not in any way disagreeing. We need to talk to a bunch of guys. He may be in his best spot at OC.

He did however lead Buffalo to it's only winning record in.. . forever. And is key part of a winning organization.

In other words, if he's the worst guy we interview, I like the direction we're heading.

Per Twitter looks like the Browns are going to interview him also.

So. . .Mike Holmgren wants a close look at him.
