The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Just a thought that I had. McDermott needs to find a guy that can let him be more "hands off," for lack of a better term, on offense. McDermott knows defense, and seems to have the right leadership skills to be a HC. But we need someone who truly can run the whole show on that side of the ball to let McD do what he does best. Kubiak just seems to be the guy that would fit that, as he's run a full team, so could run the offense quite well. Not sure he'd take the job, or if we'd be interested. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 He's an advisor because of health reason, unless he's back to good health I doubt he coaches ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think bringining him in as a advisor would be a excellent idea though...... Beef up the scouting especially on offense player evaluation/scouting Bring in someone to specifically work with Allen Get some fricken offensive talent on this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Kevin Patra Around the NFL Writer Published: Jan. 2, 2017 at 09:58 a.m. Updated: Jan. 2, 2017 at 01:22 p.m. Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak announced his retirement from coaching Monday, citing his health as the main factor in the decision. "As I told our team last night, this is an extremely difficult decision to step down as head coach. I love to work and I love football, but ultimately the demands of the job are no longer a good fit for me," Kubiak said in a statement Monday morning. "I gave everything I had to this team the last two seasons, but this year, in particular, has been tough on me. As hard as it is to leave this position, I know that it's the best thing for myself, my family and the Denver Broncos." Kubiak, 55, was diagnosed with a complex migraine condition earlier this season, which required hospitalization (he missed one game). He also suffered a mini-stroke back in 2013 as the head coach of the Houston Texans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think Kubiak will take over the Broncos when they fire Vance Joseph. I think Joseph was hired because he was the easiest guy to fire once Kubiak wants to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him full autonmy of the offense even let him help choosing the players we get in the draft and free agency on offense. Arians is a perfect coach to develop Allen. His system is custom made for him with all those intermediate and deep passes in his offense. He also helped develop QBs such as Big Ben & Luck and he also had a big influence on rejuvenating Carson Palmers career. This is a no brainer even if u have to fire Mcd to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Kubiak never became healthy enough to become his OC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The most necessary and important coaching change MUST BE getting rid of the 25-year WR coach who is currently "playing" QB coach. What a joke. I know he must love Jesus but that doesn't make him the most qualified to teach and tutor and mentor a young, first round draft pick. Dumbest of all the team's decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegs should open the check book make him a great offer 5yrs 25mil. Thats head coach money. Arians had health issues before he quit . We can talk him into a less pressure situation by running the full show on offense. Maybe he takes the job. If not then kick Mcd to the curb and give him the HC job if he is up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Actually, I'd like to see Payton Manning work with Allen during the off-season. I think the Bills should check into it. The knowledge he has far out weighs what we got at OC & qb coach. Bring in Zay & our other receivers too. Work them about 2-3 months and I'm confident we'd see a big difference.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yes, a top notch OC would be great. However, it doesn't matter who the OC is if you don't provide him with acceptable resources to work with. Draft offensive linemen high for a change and/or bring in free agents whose names are not Newhouse, get rid of linemen like Wind Mills, who never improve over time, and let the young guys get minutes, and come up with receivers who can really play (other teams do). Get high grade resources in place and you might be amazed at what your OC can produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hard pass. Remember the guy we fired last season, Rick Dennison? He was Kubiak's OC and followed him around for years. Kubiak's offense is outdated. It's laughable here in Denver (to me, whose second favorite team is whoever plays the Broncos) that they would want Kubiak to come back. The Broncos last year with Kubiak, fans hated him and his offense. He ran the exact same offense as Dennison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
