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. Kubiak spent eight years (2006-13) as the Texans’ head coach, leading the franchise to a 61-64 (.488) regular-season record and a 2-2 (.500) mark in the playoffs. He was named AFC Coach of the Year by the KC 101 Club in 2011 after guiding the Texans to a 10-6 record and the franchise’s first AFC South Division title, postseason berth and playoff win. He followed that up with a 12-4 record in 2012—the most victories ever by a Texans squad—as the team featured an AFC-best nine Pro Bowlers and won its second consecutive division crown and AFC Wild Card Playoff Game. Inheriting the NFL’s 30th-ranked offense when he arrived in Houston, Kubiak led the unit to a top-7 finish in four of his eight seasons as head coach. The Texans ranked second in the league in total offense (383.9 ypg) during a three-year stretch from 2008-10 when quarterback Matt Schaub (2010), wide receiver Andre Johnson (2009-10), tight end Owen Daniels (2009) and running back Arian Foster (2010) earned Pro Bowl selections. In addition to overseeing one of the NFL’s elite offenses, Kubiak’s Texans posted the third-largest defensive turnaround in league history following the 2010 season as the 2011 squad gave up 91.2 fewer yards per game to rank second in the NFL (285.7 ypg). Overall, Houston’s defense posted three consecutive top-7 finishes in total yardage from 2011-13 as emerging defensive end J.J. Watt (first team, 2012-13) and cornerback Jonathan Joseph (second team, 2012) earned All-Pro honors from the Associated Press. Before his time in Houston, Kubiak spent 11 years (1995-2005) as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator, helping Denver lead the NFL in scoring (24.8 ppg) and total yards (360.3 ypg) during that span. He also coached quarterbacks for his first eight seasons (1995-02) in Denver, including a four-year period from 1995-98 in which John Elway ranked second in the NFL in touchdown passes (101) and fourth in passing yards (13,739). Denver’s offense also featured the league’s most potent rushing attack during Kubiak’s 11 seasons, averaging 141.5 yards per game. Among the Broncos’ NFL-best five individual 1,000-yard rushers in that period was Terrell Davis, who rushed for a career-high 2,008 yards and 21 touchdowns in 1998 to earn NFL Most Valuable Player honors from the Associated Press. An instrumental part of Denver’s Super Bowl championship teams in 1997 and ‘98, Kubiak helped guide a dynamic Broncos offense that was led by Pro Bowl selections such as Elway, Davis, tight end Shannon Sharpe, tackle Gary Zimmerman and wide receiver Rod Smith. Davis was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXII and Elway received Super Bowl XXXIII MVP honors after his final NFL game. Following the retirement of Elway after the 1999 season, Kubiak’s offense continued its production behind starting quarterbacks Brian Griese (1998-2002) and Jake Plummer (2003-05), who combined for four 3,000-yard passing seasons and led Denver’s to five top-seven offensive rankings in a seven-year period. Griese was named to the Pro Bowl in 2000 after throwing for 2,688 yards with 19 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Plummer turned in the franchise’s first 4,000-yard passing season in 2004 and led Denver to a 13-3 record and an appearance in the AFC Championship Game in 2005. Smith and fellow wideout Ed McCaffrey combined for 11 of the Broncos’ 15 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 1995-2005 to represent the most prolific receiving duo in franchise history. Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis joined Davis and other previously unheralded runners Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson and Reuben Droughns as 1,000-yard rushers in Kubiak’s offense. Kubiak’s first NFL job came with San Francisco, where he coached quarterbacks for the Super Bowl-champion 49ers during the 1994 season. San Francisco led the NFL with a club-record 505 points (31.6 ppg) during Kubiak’s year in the Bay Area, as quarterback Steve Young received Most Valuable Player recognition by the Associated Press and earned Super Bowl XXIX MVP honors. Selected by the Broncos in the eighth round (197th overall) of the 1983 NFL Draft from Texas A&M, Kubiak appeared in 119 regular-season games during his nine-year playing career in Denver. He finished his Broncos career completing 173-of-298 passes (58.1%) for 1,920 yards with 14 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Kubiak led the Broncos to a 3-2 record in five career starts filling in for Elway and was part of Denver’s five division titles, four conference championship appearances and three Super Bowl berths during that span. After retiring from the NFL following the 1991 season, Kubiak coached running backs at his alma mater, Texas A&M, from 1992-93. During his two seasons, the Aggies posted a record of 22-3 and played in back-to-back Cotton Bowls. His star pupil at A&M was Greg Hill, who was a first- round pick by Kansas City in 1994. As a quarterback at Texas A&M, Kubiak earned All-Southwest Conference honors as a senior in 1982 and was invited to play in the Blue-Gray and Hula Bowl all-star games. He set conference records for single-game touchdown passes (6 vs. Rice) and completion percentage (90.5% / 19-for-21 vs. Arkansas) during his junior season and ranked second in the SWC in passing (1,908) and total offense (1,986). He earned his degree from Texas A&M in physical education. At St. Pius High School in his native Houston, Kubiak was an all-state, all-district, and All-America selection after setting the state career passing record with 6,190 yards. He lettered four years in football, basketball and baseball and received all-state honors in all three sports as a junior and senior. He was also a two-time all-state performer in track, and was recognized for his outstanding prep accomplishments with induction into the prestigious Texas High School Sports Hall of Fame in March 1999. Born in Houston on Aug. 15, 1961, Kubiak and his wife, Rhonda, have three sons: Klint, Klay and Klein. COACHING EXPERIENCE COACHING RECORD Denver Broncos Category W L T Pct.

    Denver Broncos Postgame Quotes & Notes Denver Broncos vs. Miami Dolphins • INVESCO Field at Mile High • Sunday, Dec. 12, 2004 DENVER BRONCOS HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN On winning challenged Miami interception “I wasn’t sure I wanted the reversal at that time. We had (Miami) pinned back inside the ten-yard line. I talked to Jason (Elam) and we thought the wind was going too strong to try (a field goal) from that distance (51 yards). So we had to make up our minds if we wanted to punt it again or go for it, and it turned out to be the right decision even though we didn’t convert on the points. “I threw the flag.” On rookie RB Tatum Bell “Tatum has been having a few good weeks of practice. We think he has a big upside, and we think (Bell and Reuben Droughns) compliment each other. When Reuben had a couple fumbles early, we decided to go in that direction. Obviously (Tatum) did a great job. He has some big-play capability, and it was unfortunate that he had a third-degree separation in his shoulder and he couldn’t play anymore.” On severity of Bell’s left shoulder injury “I really don’t know, but a third-degree separation isn’t good. That’s as high as it goes.” On if there was a wind change on Jason Elam’s game winning field goal “When it was at the 34 (yard line) and really the wind had died down, I said, ‘how do you feel now?’ When we went for it (on fourth down) from the 34, I felt like there wasn’t much of a chance.

    CHARLIE FRYE QUARTERBACKS COLLEGE: AKRON NFL: SEVENTH SEASON DOLPHINS: FIRST SEASON Charlie Frye enters his first season as quarterbacks coach for the Dolphins after he was hired in 2021.

Frye spent the past two seasons (2019-20) as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Central Michigan. In 2020, Frye helped the Chippewas finish third in the Mid-American Conference in rushing yards per game (218.2 avg.). Running back Lew Nichols III led the team with 508 rushing yards and earned MAC Freshman of the Year honors. Frye helped Central Michigan win the MAC West Division in 2019 with an offense that led the conference with 6,070 total yards.
