  • GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22Nd NFL Season (12Th with Broncos)
    GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22nd NFL Season (12th with Broncos) Gary Kubiak, a 23-year coaching veteran and three-time Super Bowl champion, enters his third decade with the Denver Broncos after being named the 15th head coach in club history on Jan. 19, 2015. A backup quarterback for nine seasons (1983-91) with the Broncos and an offensive coordinator for 11 years (1995- 2005) with the club, Kubiak returns to Denver after spending eight years (2006-13) as head coach of the Houston Texans and one season (2014) as offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens. During 21 seasons working in the NFL, Kubiak has coached 30 players to a total of 57 Pro Bowl selections. He has appeared in eight conference championship games and six Super Bowls as a player or coach and was part of three World Championship staffs (S.F., 1994; Den., 1997-98) as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. In his most recent position as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator in 2014, he oversaw one of the NFL’s most improved and explosive units to help the Ravens advance to the AFC Divisional Playoffs. His offense posted the third-largest overall improvement (+57.5 ypg) in the NFL from the previous season and posted nearly 50 percent more big plays (74 plays of 20+yards) from the year before he arrived. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco recorded career highs in passing yards (3,986) and touchdown passes (27) under Kubiak’s guidance while running back Justin Forsett ranked fifth in the league in rushing (1,266 yds.) to earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.

PETER J. GOWER, PASTOR “View from the Pew” by George W. Reilly Football – Super Bowl -- Religion Sports, or more specifically football, is generally on everyone’s mind this weekend with the arrival of Super Bowl LV (55) on Sunday, February 7. Have you ever wondered if any of those fine, physical male specimens at the top of their form are Catholics? I thought I would highlight some of the best examples of Catholic football athletes that achieved Super Bowl status, but due to space restraints, I can only give you five of my top picks. Perhaps you have seen these players in Super Bowl action, but now you know that we share something special with them – our faith. It does affect their choices in life and how they conduct themselves, so read on. Bob Griese - Quarterback Bob Griese led the Miami Dolphins to nine winning seasons in the 1970s and was the field general for the celebrated 1972 Dolphin team that went 17-0 and played in three consecutive Super Bowl games. In Su- per Bowl VI, the Dolphins lost to Roger Staubach’s Cowboys, 24-3. The next year, Miami’s perfect season, Griese was eight for 11 with one touchdown as the Dolphins prevailed over the Washington Redskins, 14-7.
