Monday was the best day of the year. What a huge burden off Denver's shoulders. McDaniels was fired and I was close to inciting riots in the streets of suburban Denver as if we had won a Super Bowl. McDaniels was the one who got tear-gassed. McDaniels was a thorn in our side. Glad he's gone. Although the damage is done he can do no more harm from now on. No more draft-day blunders. No more free agent signings of New England Patriot rejects. No more shipping our talent elsewhere (we have no more). No more dink and dunk predictable bubble screens. No more hoodie on the sideline!
If the Broncos can get out of paying McDaniels the remainder of his contract due to spy-gate II look for them to sign a big name GM and coach. If they end up having to pay McDaniels they will probably end up having to hire a smaller name coach.
My choice is to bring in John Elway as VP of football operations, Ted Sunquist as GM, and Gary Kubiak as head coach. Gary Kubiak was Denver's offensive coordinator from '95-'05. His last year with the Broncos was the last year we were in the playoffs. We haven't been back since. Kubiak would make Denver's run-game relevant again. Kubiak would bring back the zone-blocking scheme. Kubiak would bring back the play-action bootleg. I love Kubiak because he is a true Denver Bronco, being Elway's backup and then his coordinator later on. Kubiak has proven he can coach up a left-handed quarterback and be successful, as he was Steve Young's QB coach on the 49ers, winning the Super Bowl in '94. I'm sure he can do the same with Tim Tebow.
If Bowlen and Ellis choose not to go my suggested route of leadership hopefully they don't pick the new head coach. Their newly picked GM should make the decision.
