Thread: Kubiak will NOT be the OC

I'm listening to this on Sports Talk radio right now.

One of the pet theories is that Elway and Kubiak couldn't see eye-to-eye on Denison.

Kubiak would have been Fangios top choice as OC. I think Elway wants an evolved version of Kubiak. Really excited to see how Elway solves this offensive philosophy riddle...I see this as great news with some tangible risk, and I like it.

I really hope Kubiak remains involved and committed to the organization, that Elway and Kubs are still bros.

Seems like that was a big part of it:

I hope so too. If he had a hand in the draft last year, then he did a good job

Like, they just now started talking about this shit? What have they been doing for the last month?

Sounds like Mike Munchack is coming to coach our o-line, but this sucks....Kubiak offense with a Munch line could have been a thing of beauty...

Between his 9 years as Elway's backup QB, 11 years as offensive coordinator (2 Super Bowls) and 2 years as head coach (SB50), Gary Kubiak's lofty place in Broncos history is secure. But NFL is a business where it rarely ends well. #9sports

Gary Kubiak was a great head coach for Broncos: Super Bowl champ and 21-11 record in two years. But Kubiak will not return as head coach because of health. He did struggle as offensive coordinator in his 2 years with Broncos. Still breakup is too bad. Good man/coach. #9sports

This downside to Gary Kubiak as OC: He has not had a top 10 offense since 2012. In 2015-16, Broncos averaged 19.2 ppg, 24th in NFL in that period. Broncos were bottom 10 in scoring, rushing, interceptions, turnovers, 3rd downs, red zone in those 2 yrs. #9sports

Gary Kubiak did want to bring back offensive assistants Rick Dennison and Brian Pariani. But they were fired by Broncos just two years ago and team didn't want them back. That was second part of it. First part was differences in offensive concepts/schemes going forward. #9sports

Prior to Fangio hiring, Elway planned on Kubiak taking broader offensive role and team would have younger/college concept coach serve as coordinator, partly because of Kubiak's health concerns. Then team and Kubiak were talking coordinator role but it didn't work out. #9sports

Confirming Broncos and Gary Kubiak going separate ways. He will not be )-coordinator. Differences in philosophy and staffing. Also confirming Broncos hope to bring in Mike Munchak. I can report hope is Munchak as O-line coach, not O-coordinator. He does have family here. #9sports

I don't get this, I guess. Does doing a great job with good talent supercede doing a good job with poor talent? Do we then suddenly allow Kugler to talk with other teams after only one season? Strange

As @RapSheet first reported, the Broncos have indeed notified the Steelers that they want to bring in Mike Munchak as their O-line coach. Munchak's contract expired so they don't need to request permission (the Steelers probably wouldn't have shot that down real quick).

The Broncos are compiling a list of candidates around the league for their offensive coordinator position. I"m told the hire will be completely Vic Fangio's call, for what it's worth.

So Kubiak will not be the Broncos' OC or a part of the offensive staff. He's still under contract as a senior personnel advisor, however.

Assistant shocker: Gary Kubiak will not be Denver’s offensive coordinator, league sources tell ESPN.

After lengthy discussions, Denver and Kubiak had different ideas on staffing and offensive philosophies. Both sides going in different directions.

If Kubes wanted to bring back Dennison ( PUKE!!!! ) then I'm happy Elway said hell to the NO!
