Texans interviewing Broncos’ Dennison

Broncos offensive line coach Rick Dennison will interview for the Texans

The Mike Shanahan-led Redskins were unable to pluck a Denver Broncos offensive assistant away. The Gary Kubiak-led Texans appear to have been more fortunate.

Per Adam Schefter on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, Kubiak has sought and been granted permission to interview Broncos offensive line coach Rick Dennison for their open offensive coordinator position. The Texans’ former coordinator, Kyle Shanahan, joined his dad in D.C. to be the O.C. there (so, in a roundabout way, Shanny still plucked an offensive assistant away).

And, according to Schefter, Dennison will likely get the job.

“(Dennison) also happens to be Kubiak’s best friend,” Schefter said. “Best friends don’t interview for jobs, they get jobs. Dennison will be there on Monday.”

The difference between Dennison and Bobby Turner is that the Texans are interviewing the former for a promotion. The Skins were interested in Turner for the same position he now holds, so the Broncos were able to refuse.

Now, regarding Dennison.  The Broncos’ offensive line struggled playing two systems in 2009, but Dennison’s potential/likely loss will still hurt. The Broncos’ coaching staff has remained intact until now… it looks like the first coaching interview and hiring process will have to begin after the Texans and Dennison meet Monday.

    It's too bad the Bronx did not have the foresight to jump all over Weis. Feels like these guys are asleep at the wheel.

    Good luck to R Dennison, he deserves a shot even though I do not think he is a great coach. He was not able to come close to doing the same things Gibbs did with the O-line

    To the Bronx brain trust and McD:
    are you listening…
    go get Alex Gibbs…
    see opening note.

    Speaking of offensive coordinators, I hope the bears do go after Jeremy Bates and reunite him Cutwuss. Talk about over rated… yikes.

  • broncogeoff81

    Bates is rumored to be joining Pete Carroll in Seattle.

    I have no idea how we're going to replace Dennison though.

  • paul

    In case your forgot, the Texans have Giibbs (x2) and soon will have Dennison too.

  • WhidbeyBronco

    what kind of pussy bs to let Kubiak look at Denny but not Shanny… Is this high school? Not loving the class of our Broncos of late…

  • anthony33

    Whibey,
    If I am not mistaken, Shanny inquired about Bobby Turner and not Dennison as is son is going to be the OC.

    Paul,
    That's my point about Gibbs… go get him… offer a promotion… anything. Fact is he is probably as happy as a clam in Houston with Kubes and we have not shot. It is still worth a shot.

  • anthony33

    Whibey,
    Hey, just saw on PFT that the Bronx did deny Shanny (my bad), but it would have been a lateral move. Houston was a promotion, so I a least respect the fact that they are not holding him back in pursuing a promotion.

    One other thought. PFT also mentioned the McD did want Bates to stay, but Bates left because he wanted to call the plays. Maybe the Bronx should put a call into Bates, if McD now realizes he can't do everything, and inquire about his services?????

  • kerry

    well Weis was the original master of the New England offense and McD wouldnt bring in a guy that might call plays better then him.

    and Alex Gibbs runs the ZBS. as we all know, McD doesnt like the ZBS very much. i mean thats understandable, why would McD like something that actually is successful.
