Thread: Rapoport: Kubiak could be back as an OC next year

Let's leave their legacies alone and go somewhere new.

Yeah we can pay him $100 million and he can come in and trade Von Miller

To be clear, I like Harbaugh a lot. But we need to look forward not backward

Are we committed to mediocrity?

Nostalgia is bad.

Shanahan doesn't have it anymore.

Kubiak barely 'had it'.

If Harbaugh picks Kubiak because of their affinity, that's one thing. But if it's Elway dropping than on him...man this is scary.

Im with UA. Bring back a Broncos guy who new what it took to win. Id be happy with it. Its better than the unknown. Id fear McD or VJ 2.

You can't move forward by always going back.

A) Elway wouldn't force a HC to pick a certain coordinator
B) IF he did make that a condition Harbaugh wouldn't sign.

Funny, we've won 3 Super Bowls "going back". Good coaches are good coaches.

I don't think the first two were "going back." The second one, maybe. The time for Shanahan has passed.

Well the first one and second did we really go back?

Secondly, did we really go back when we had a loaded roster and one meaningful 'go back' coach in Phillips?

Thirdly, if we wanted to go back so much we did we let Phillips go? Does anyone actually think Kubiak is that wonderful of a coach?

Moreover: A) Elway wouldn't force a HC to pick a certain coordinator
B) IF he did make that a condition Harbaugh wouldn't sign.

If these reports are right it sure sounds like Elway is fine with just hiring Kubiak as an OC, HC be damned. Again, if Harbaugh wants GK as OC that's fine, but if GK is just installed that's not good.

None of these reports have said that WE want Kubiak back, just that potential coaches want him. The rest is just speculation

The last SB the main contribution came from one coach that was a throwback.

The other was a very mild, if that, HC who was along for the ride.

Or, in other words - it was the talent and the DC. Well, we're short on some talent, albeit not depleted, and where's the old throwback that's going to contribute? It ain't Kubiak. It ain't Phillips. Shanny couldn't hack it in D.C. Etc.
