Especially if they dont want Rivera for whatever reason.
I dont understand why the Broncos have not scheduled an interview with him...
I think there is something behind the scenes we do not know about.
Rivera is the top candidate..
and the Broncos have not spoken of him much at all.
Xanders kind of off handedly threw out his name...
almost to placate the fans about the search...
not in a convincing fashion.
There is something we dont know between the two sides.
It may be that Elway and Co want to hire an offensive guy...
I just dont get it.
But , yeah.. if Rivera is off the table...
we are only in competition with the Browns..
(Hue is expected to be hired by Al Davis)
no need to hurry now.

Are people overreacting a bit? Maybe…but, let’s face it the organization is in a riddled state right now and is somewhat reluctant. They’re already behind other teams, give Oakland who I think hasn’t hire Hue Jackson outright because they’re trying to woo Josh McDaniels and possibly want to look at Perry Fewell, and Al Davis always likes to be dramatic, he’s a bigger Drama-Queen then Terrell Owens.
Carolina looks to be closing in on their candidate, and maybe that was what Denver was waiting for, one less candidate even if the fan favorite for their own organization. Cleveland is supposedly enamored with Pat Shurmur who recently interviewed with the team, but they still have other interviews scheduled. Denver can afford to be cautious, but then again…with the lockout looming it’s rather important to get a head coach and his staff well into place as soon as possible.
I spoke to Woody Paige just the other day via email regarding how Denver needs to hire someone that the fans can get behind, because the fact is that fans will be more lenient with a coach they believe in and the staff that put him in place rather then just a coach that they as a staff are high on. And he agreed with me for the most part, especially in regards to Ron Rivera being the favorite amongst the fans. I think that if Denver was to hire someone ill-regarded by the fandom that the minute he has a back-to-back losses the fans will turn on him, his coaching staff and possibly the organization quicker then anytime before because of what we have had to endure already.
- Doesn't bother me what people think, the mere fact what I think seems to bother others speaks volumes about them more then myself! -
The 49'ers will also get first choice of Dc and OC too............
Yup... I want third best Dc ands fourth best OC for MY Broncos!!!!!
Those playoff games seem to come at such a bad time..being January and all.
This year is so good.. With all my projects I can do now with no football going on...........

I just don't get all the hype of Rivera. :shrug: I think some just have their favorites, and feel those are the best, and teh most popular. Don't agree, but no biggie.

Right now.....
Frazer-Minnesota
Harbaugh- San Fran
Garrett-Dallas
are putting together thier staffs... we are just starting to interview our HC options.
BTW.... Cassell is showing me why McDummy wanted him... the guy is clutch in playoffs
As an aside, I bet it is a big point of discussion during the interviews. Who the prospective HC can bring in to help them should have some weight in the final evaluation given the problems experienced during McD's tenure. I'd take a lesser known guy who is willing to bring in solid, veteran coordinators and delegate authority effectively than a big name, big ego who has to call all the shots.
