Denver Broncos: Top 5 Head Coaching Candidates Denver Broncos: Top 5 Head Coaching Candidates Author : Sean Naylor When it comes to head coaching openings, there are few that as attractive as the Denver Broncos. With the surprise retirement of previous Head Coach Gary Kubiak, one of the most prestigious jobs in the league opened up. Who is right for this job? Here we will talk a look at the top 5 candidates for the opening in Denver. These will be ranked from bottom to top. 5. Matt Patricia Patricia is a hot name going around the league. The work that he puts into the New England Patriots defense is nothing short of commending. He epitomizes Bill Belichick to a tee. He is always prepared for his opponent and is very good at making in-game adjustments. He can even make these at a critical juncture. However, the Denver Broncos need someone who is offensive minded. Someone that can come in and groom 1 / 3 Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch to their system and let the defensive minds do their thing. Patricia is a strong candidate but is not a good fit for Denver. 4. Anthony Lynn. Lynn is a former assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills. He was the one-game interim head coach after they relieved Rex Ryan of his duties. Lynn has a lot of respect around the league and is a highly sought-after head coach. He has a strong offensive mind and would be great for a young QB such as Siemian. If the Broncos do pursue Lynn I could see him keeping a lot of the current coaches that were on the staff. This is something that John Elway would like to see in order to keep some sort of continuity. [Sean] 3. Dave Toub Toub is just recently been brought into several openings to be interviewed. His name has come on strong in recent weeks. He has had one of the best special teams units since he arrived in Kansas City 4 years ago. It is very rare that a special team coordinator makes the jump to head coach. However, the growth of his special team unit has been a strong reason the Chiefs won the AFC West Division in 2016. If he can bring that growth with him along with some solid assistants he could make a team very successful. 2. Vance Joseph Joseph was within inches of becoming the head coach of the Denver Broncos prior to Gary Kubiak. Joseph got the attention of John Elway during several interview sessions. Elway was getting set to make his mind up on Joseph when he received the call from Kubiak. Joseph is a strong defensive-minded candidate. Again, as with Matt Patricia, I am not sure if this is what the Denver Broncos need at this time. I know that Joseph is high on the Denver radar. I hope that if he is selected he has an OC who is also good with young QBs in mind. 1. Kyle Shanahan Shanahan is the son of former Denver Bronco Head Coach Mike Shanahan. He is being interviewed for several of the current openings, including the Denver Broncos. He has grown his name in the coaching ranks over the past couple of years. He is an offensive genius. He can develop a game plan that will beat any opponent on any given Sunday. He can beat the most complex of defenses with his offensive schemes. I 2 / 3 think he would make a good fit in Denver because of this innate ability. The Broncos are going to have to act quickly on this one if they expect to lure him to Denver. This opening is one of the most appealing to any of the candidates. They have a solid defense and strong offense. The offense includes 2 young, groom able QBs. The key will be keeping any of the current staff. I think that this is going to be a selling point for John Elway. The stronger that answer, the more likely that person will become the next head coach of the Denver Broncos. 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

    Wednesday, October 31, 2018 | Hoag Performance Center | Costa Mesa, Calif. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN Opening Statement: “Good afternoon. I tell you, watching [Seahawks Head] Coach [Pete] Carroll, I've known him for a long time. His whole coaching staff, I've either played with or played for. It's a really good coaching staff. Right now, they are doing a heck of a job. I think they are the hottest team in the NFL right now. They have won four out of last five. They are doing it collectively in all three phases — and offensively, they are rushing the ball better than anybody the last five weeks and more rush attempts, that's kind of their formula. Defensively, they are sixth in the league and No. 2 in takeaways. That's something I know he emphasizes a lot. Special teams-wise, they have one of the best returners in the game. He was an All-Pro the last three years. I'm excited to go over there and play them at their place. It's going to be a heck of a challenge for us, our coaching staff and our players, but this is what we need right now. We think we're getting better as a football team and this is going to be one hell of a test.” On DE Joey Bosa: “Joey is going to do some things on the side, but he won't be a part of any team activities today, no.” On the Seattle running game: “Well, you know, their offensive line is powerful.

  • NFL's Week 7 Preview
    FIRST-EVER NFL GAME AT LONDON’S TWICKENHAM STADIUM AMONG WEEK 7 HIGHLIGHTS The NFL rolls into Week 7 with 14 teams with two losses or fewer, including the league’s lone unbeaten club, the Minnesota Vikings (5-0), who are looking to improve to 6-0. Since 1990, when the current 12-team playoff format was adopted, 34 of the 36 previous teams (94.4 percent) that started 6-0 made the playoffs, 75 of the previous 91 clubs (82.4 percent) that started 5-1 advanced to the postseason and 117 of 185 teams (63.2 percent) that started 4-2 qualified for the playoffs. However, there’s still plenty of football left to be played and things can change quickly. Since 1990, 84 clubs have made the playoffs after starting 3-3 or worse. Last year, four teams with a losing record through six games advanced to the postseason – Houston (2-4), Seattle (2-4), Washington (2-4) and Kansas City (1-5). “It’s huge to get a win,” said New York Giants linebacker JONATHAN CASILLAS after the team’s 27-23 victory over Baltimore which evened the Giants’ record at 3-3. “It’s not going to get any easier going down the stretch for the rest of these games, so we had to win this game.” The next stretch of games for New York starts this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams (9:30 AM ET, NFLN) at London’s Twickenham Stadium, the first-ever NFL game at the UK’s famed rugby venue.

  • Opportunity on the Road to Success by Logan Underwood
    Opportunity on the Road to Success By Logan Underwood In the sea of society, many drift under the influence of powerful undercurrents of reality. People are shaped by the colour of our skin, the places we grew up, and the wealth of our parents. These factors have a profound impact on the direction in which people travel in their lives. The currents that control our lives are powerful because they pull the strings that define our paths. They change the scenery and the obstacles by putting some individuals on a pedestal while putting others on a much more challenging journey. Societal norms of nepotism and connections disproportionally place minorities at a disadvantage from their white colleagues as they are promoted. In 2003 the National Football League (NFL) instituted the Rooney Rule, which required one minority to be interviewed during the head coach hiring process (Carroll, 2018). The rule was put in action to make the number of minority coaches more representative of a sport that's players were 69.0% African American (Lapchick, 2019). As the most recent season coaching hiring season concluded, it became clear that the number of minority coaches with jobs would decrease significantly. Figure 1 (Payne, 2019) In the 2020 season, it will be the second season that 12.5% of coaches will be of colour. It is the lowest two-season stretch since the Rooney Rule was adopted in two thousand three (Lapchick, 2019). The 2019 season was important in determining the schematic direction of the league's coaches. Coaches Marvin Lewis, Todd Bowles, Steven Wilks, and Vance Joseph, who were all African American, were fired.

  • O'halloran: Broncos Trading for Joe Flacco Will Be a Boon Behind The
    O’Halloran: Broncos trading for Joe Flacco will be a boon behind the scenes — and bring a sigh of relief for Vic Fangio By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post February 14, 2019 Ten thoughts for new Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco and his 10 career postseason wins: 1. I was guilty of overthinking the Broncos’ plans. I thought Option A might be keeping Case Keenum to begin the season but then giving the 10th overall pick (or higher) a chance to play with an eye toward 2020. Uh, not quite. The Broncos went the Conventional Route. They targeted a veteran quarterback and traded for him. Neat and simple. They also went the Old-School Route. In a developing era of mobile quarterbacks, the Broncos acquired themselves a gunslinger. 2. Flacco was 4-3 all-time against the Broncos (nine touchdowns, five interceptions). At Mile High, he won 38-35 in January 2013 (playoffs), lost 49-27 in the 2013 season opener and lost 19-13 in the 2015 season opener. The playoff win was memorable. Flacco threw a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. The Ravens finished that season by beating San Francisco in the Super Bowl. 3. Flacco is 34 years old. He has never been to the Pro Bowl. He lost his job to a rookie last year. But for a fourth-round pick, he is worth the risk … and, really, it’s not a risk. What stands out about him is completion percentage (64.9 and 64.1 his last two full years), his durability (played all 16 games in nine of his 10 years) and his playoff form (10 wins).
