Gary Kubiak is coming back to the Denver Broncos.
According to Mike Kils of The Denver Post, the Broncos and the former offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens have agreed on a four year deal to become the 15th head coach in Denver Broncos history. The Broncos are expected to formally introduce him as the head coach on Tuesday.
This comes as no surprise. The Broncos traveled to Houston to meet with Gary Kubiak and it appears that they were not going to leave until they got their man. Joe Ellis and a few other front office staff joined John Elway on the trip. If that does not mean that they are serious about hiring him, I don’t know what does.
The only candidate that could have impacted that decision was Dan Quinn, the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator. However, with Seattle’s comeback win against the Green Bay Packers, I am certain that the Broncos were not going to wait another two to three weeks to interview him. But I am pretty certain that John Elway had his man all along.
Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos from 1995-2005. He was apart of the Super Bowl runs that the Broncos had during the 1997 and 1998 seasons. The Broncos also went to the playoffs in seven of the eleven seasons Gary Kubiak was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.
Now that the Broncos have a coach that has Super Bowl experience as a coordinator, Gary Kubiak will not allow anything short of a Super Bowl championship. He has quite a bit of success as a coach as he led the Houston Texans to a winning season in 2009 and back to back playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012 and won two playoff games. It seems like the Broncos have their man.
Get excited Broncos Country! Gary Kubiak is back home!
