I was discussing this with some friends earlier. We all know that Kubiak's biggest flaw is that he's too loyal to screw ups. The biggest problem we have is we've got coaches operating outside their depth. Barone isn't an o-line coach, Dennison is a garbage OC. The biggest steps we could take to right the ship is this.
1. Move Barone back to TE's. He's not a bad TE coach, but he clearly can't coach o-line...
2. Move Dennison to o-line coach. Again, he's a crap OC. He has no business doing it, but he can coach the o-line. He was the o-line coach from 2001-2005 and again in 2009.
3. Take away Kubiak's control over the offense. Kubiak is a good HC, but he needs to focus on that and only that.
4. Bring in a true OC to run the offense. My dream option would be to hire Kyle Shannahan as the Assistance Head Coach/OC.
5. Drive Jordan Norwood off a cliff in a pinto.
This solves two issues. We don't upset Kube's loyalty (which is a good and a bad thing) but we also start utilizing people in areas that they are strong rather than taking a guys with little or bad experience in a position and making them in charge of that area.
What things do you think we could do to have a better year in 2017?
