Broncos fans seem thrilled with John Elway as the franchise’s new leader, but less fired up about the team’s head coaching candidates.
The candidate the Broncos organization knows best may be the most unknown outside the team. Texans offensive coordinator Rick Dennison has worked with or played for all five men on the Broncos’ selection committee, according to the Denver Post.
Dennison interviewed with the team for the head coaching job two years ago; we’d think he has a real chance to close the deal this time or he wouldn’t get a second crack. He interviews Tuesday, along with Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
Choosing Dennison could be a tough sell because he doesn’t even run the offense in Houston -- Gary Kubiak does.
The Broncos have also struggled with offensive coaches like Mike Shanahan and Josh McDaniels that seemed to have no idea how to put together a quality defense.
