Kubiak...
OC Shanny...
DC Schottenheimer...

Rather go aggressive, no need to be offensive or defensive. But I like some of the defensive minded guys like Quinn.

Just need a good OC.

Anybody but that milquetoast follower Adam Gase.

Cowher
Jon Gruden

You need a proven winner who is an improvement over Gase, not a question mark rookie HC.

Those would be awful choices IMO.

I think Dan Quinn is as close to the consensus #1 coordinator out there.

I believe Kubiak will get real consideration from Elway - and he would definitely be interested despite claiming to be sticking with the Ravens.

I can't think of too many out-of-the-box hires... But there isn't a coach in America who won't take Elways phone call.

I don't want to get too hung up on whether he's an offensive or defensive guy - HCs are more like CEOs anyway. The coordinators need to be the strong Xs and Os guys.

I don't mind to bring Mike Shanahan back.

Well this should be a fun offseason...

How many times can you use the word milquetoast?

Dan Quinn has the benefit of Chancellor, Thomas, Sherman etc.

He can't build a team but he's shown he can get them over the hump.

I would like Kubiak. He never really had a good QB in Houston but was still able to make the playoffs. Manning is the new Elway, CJ the new TD, and Kubiak the new Shanahan. Just like old times.

Latest report from ESPN radio: the Broncos are interested in interviewing Dan Quinn. That is almost a certainty. Also 49ers have Adam Gase as their #1 choice for head coach. They are flying Gase out to S.F. tonight to meet with him and offer him a contract.

Fox is gone, Del Rio is going to be offered the Raiders head coaching job and he reportedly wants (for some reason) to go back to the Bay, and now Adam Gase is going to sign with the 49ers.

Looking more and more like Peyton Manning has played his last game in Denver. He doesn't want his last season to be with a new head coach, new defensive coach and new offensive coordinator. He said he was unsure based on "coaching situation" - this is what he meant. If the entire coaching staff goes, as it now has, he could just say "I'm hanging it up."

But, I would imagine that Elway will at least have a heart to heart talk with Peyton and try really hard to convince him to return. The other report is that Fox wanted out. He forced Elway to let him go. Elway was reportedly seriously pissed at the report that came out yesterday morning from Fox's favorite reporter that if the Broncos lost, he, Fox would be "available" for other coaching jobs. He's reportedly being considered for the Chicago Bears job. I would be amazed if he doesn't fly out somewhere for an interview tomorrow.

He won't be unemployed long.

Assuming Peyton Manning is still here. This is the last hurrah so they need a veteran super bowl coach not some rookie that may or may not pan out.

Indeed. Cowher needed help from the officials to win his SB. Gruden won 1 with Dungy's team and then proceeded to flail until he lost his job. They're only slightly better than Fox.
