Troy Calhoun of Air Force Rejected the Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos: The coaching search to replace Josh McDaniels is off to a rocky start. The most popular name in the 12 hours after McDaniels was canned was Air Force coach Troy Calhoun. Today, Jay Glazer made it sound like Calhoun was a heavy favorite. And then Calhoun released a statement saying he was pulling his name out of the running for the Broncos’ job before it even got to the interview stage. Odd. Why not at least talk to them? Calhoun was a Broncos assistant and Texans assistant, so he has NFL experience. We’ll just toss out names for the sake of tossing out names: Leslie Frazier, the current Vikings interim coach (interviewed for the gig in 2009); Marty Mornhinweg, the Eagles offensive coordinator; Mike Mularkey, the Falcons offensive coordinator; and it won’t happen, but you have to imagine the Broncos will at least put in a call to Oregon’s Chip Kelly and Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh. They’d be silly not to.

What the hell is this nonsense? I go to the main page and get redirected to three small advertisements.

I would imagine after what they went through with McDaniels the Broncos will want somebody with experience and some sort of history of success. If we are tossing out names for the sake of tossing out names: Brian Billick.

Wade Phillips.

Also, if the Broncos get another offensive guru I’ll be less than pleased. Since they have failed over and over to get a decent defensive coordinator, at least hire a defensive-minded head coach.

Stoops.

Probably biased because I’m a Duck, but I don’t see Chip Kelly working anywhere but college. His system would only really work in college, we’ve already seen Spurrier try to take his college style to the NFL and fail spectacularly (and Spurrier > Kelly, at least until Kelly gets a few rings).

That’s who I thought of at first…unless Singletary loses the Frisco job

Broncos aren’t really that far away from at least being a playoff team. They have a young stud LT, solid QB in Orton and a potentially dominant pass rusher in Dumervil (assuming he recovers from the pec injury). Add in Moreno and the other young Olineman and it could be a playoff team next year with the right coach.

Busy prepping his team for the big bowl matchup with GT. Who would give that up?
Most fans would cringe at this, but I wouldn’t mind. For supposedly such a great offensive mind he doesn’t fool anyone with his play-calling… not even me, half-hammered by kickoff.
December 7th, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Chip Kelly’s offense is predicated on blocking schemes that are, to the best of my knowledge, illegal in the NFL. Is he, or any other spread guru, really a hot commodity with NFL front offices or is this just fun to write copy?
December 7th, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Job security. He won the Commander in Chief this year and is headed to a bowl game. If he does that with any sort of regularity he can coach at the Academy for as long as he wants. Beats the hell out of a 4 year stint in the NFL and getting shitcanned.
December 7th, 2010 at 5:35 PM
Zook.

I know one place he won’t be going to.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
/has ‘nam like flashback to him taking the wind in OT.
December 7th, 2010 at 5:43 PM
I agree with you. He is a college guy, that system is not working in the pros.
And I would bet good money that Harbaugh is not going to Denver. Broncos would be paying big bucks for him as well as McDaniels and still having to pay Shanny.

Lou Saban or Red Miller

This is pretty funny…
December 7th, 2010 at 5:54 PM
good for that kid.

ESPN radio said the Broncos want Kubiak. I shit you not. Supposedly Kubiak responded. I’m sure its on the internets somewhere
December 7th, 2010 at 6:03 PM
WTF? that would be hilarious.
December 7th, 2010 at 6:04 PM
Thanks for the link, Ty. It’s too late for Jersey’s name to be Keith Fitzhugh, Smartest Man In America but we can probably stash that away for a later bet. Guy even play’s Jersey’s position, I do believe
December 7th, 2010 at 6:16 PM
Srsly? Please let it be true.
December 7th, 2010 at 8:26 PM
I always miss these fucking threads.
Yeah, there’s some movement for Kubiak, but as far as I can tell it’s all fantalk. I’m with the Captain: Harbaugh. And get a goddamned actual GM in here, stat.
December 7th, 2010 at 8:30 PM
Kubiak? Gimmie a break. He’s done NOTHING in Houston with a lot of talent
December 7th, 2010 at 8:33 PM
Yea he’s a joke, Tbl
December 7th, 2010 at 8:34 PM
ah, got it Texans, had no clue
December 8th, 2010 at 10:13 AM
They can have Tom Caldwell.
December 8th, 2010 at 11:12 AM
OMG. OMG. If ever two words warranted typing “OMG,” they are: Marty Mornhinweg. Get ‘er done!
