Josh McDaniels fired as Broncos coach

agreed. i put cowher at 0% chance and gruden somewhere around a 10-15% chance.

Why would Nolen come back? He's gainfully employed with a franchise that isn't a national laughingstock right now.

Gruden hates the raiders and has always been amazed by tim tebow wouldn't be blown away if that happened

that is the only reason i think it is remotely possible he comes.

Jon Gruden sucke in Tampa Bay! 57-55 over-all, not a good idea.

Bill Cowher maybe, but I don't see it.

Nolan sucked in San Fran', but maybe we get Kubiak as an offense coordinator with Nolan as head coach and it all come together.

Why is everyone so pissed its not going to be 10 yrs of crap! Its a new era in denver!Bowlen needs to finish the job get rid of the gm and the rest of the dead weight and find the right pieces. how about jeff fisher he looks to be on the way out in tenn I think he would love to get this job.

I want Jeff Fisher! Either him or Vince has to go in TEN and the owner loves Vince. Number two would be Kubiak if the Texans let him go, and number three, Rob Ryan!

Luck is a badass. with a new guy coming in Luck will be a priority because there is no way Orton and Quinn stay around and Tebow is a fullback-TE at best. bring in Luck i say. if not him then Ryan Mallet.

for fuck sake would you PLLEEEAAASSEE stop with the whole “Tebow is a winner” bullshit. he had to be taught how to throw all over again and his skill set does NOT translate to the NFL. Gimmick college QB's NEVER work out. just ask Eric Crouch, Troy Smith, Alex Smith, Andre Ware, Akili Smith, Danny Weurffel, Rick Mirer. yet Pro Style QB's like Mark Sanchez, Sam Bradford and Matt Ryan do work out. Tebow is NOTHING in the NFL. there is a reason no team in their right mind wanted him high in the draft. only a dumbass named McD took him in the first round.

They can fire him for whatever reason they want. They still have to pay him. NFL HC contracts are guaranteed.

Even if there is a personal conduct clause that allows for termination of the contract, it's probably some vaguely worded bullshit (they always are) and the Broncos will have problems arguing that Spygate triggers that clause.

I haven't seen anywhere where someone has said they terminated his contract, just that he's been relieved of his duties. Trying to terminate it would be a cheapskate, asshole-ish, Al Davis type of move. I don't think Bowlen will try it. That type of shit doesn't exactly endear you to the next guy, especially if you're trying to go after a big name.

Bowlen, have a plan, you've got to be kidding. He and Ellis are the ass hats that hired this guy. Was that a good plan?

While everyone is jumping for joy just remember this… this is only a good move IF they hire the right guy this time.

McD sucked and Bowlen and Ellis are proving themselves to be idots. We'll see.

I think Harbaugh could do it. However, speaking of college coaches, what about Charlir Weis?

Yes, he failed at ND. Why? Because he is a pro coach. Look what he's done with KC. He is an older and much, much wiser and mature version of McD with one other major difference…. he knows how to treat people.

Dead serious… I think this guy can coach.

If you wanted evidence that we are the new Bills, we just hired one of their ex-coaches as our Interim Coach.

“They can fire him for whatever reason they want. They still have to pay him. NFL HC contracts are guaranteed.”

Incorrect sir, check your facts.

Yes, Mark Sanchez is such a beast lol! You always crack me up.

I know this won't go over well with some of you, but I don't think Kubiak is the answer for turning this francise around. I think he is a great OC, and would love to have him back. But I don't think he is HC material. To turn this thing around with any speed, you are going to have to really get the right people. Would like to see Dungy/Fraiser, not to sure about Gruden. He has been out of coaching for awhile, and who knows if broadcasting has made him soft or is he the same Chucky we remember? I know I keep saying this but, whoever is hired, get them a strong GM.

Good.

Def minded coaches: Fewell, Billick, Frazier (MN), or Rivera (SD)

Off minded coaches: Mularkey (Atl), Shannahan (Kyle), or Harbaugh

I could list others, but any these 7 would be solid hires. Part of the hiring process should be first hiring a real GM and not a 'Contract' guy.

Off Keepers: Clady, Beadles, Walton, Kuper, Royal, Thomas, Moreno and Lloyd.

Def Keepers: Bailey, Bannan, Ayers, Doom, Haggan, McBath, Syd, and Thomas

All else are playing for a job or proving they can stay healthy and/or sober. The Def is in shambles, but we also need a real starting QB.

We have 3 picks in the first two rounds….or 4 picks if we can trade down.

This should be very interesting.

How does Brian Xanders keep his job???

Gruden's remarks were not specifically about the Broncos, but about coaching in general for 2011:
*************************************************
According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, at the beginning of a teleconference to preview this week’s Monday Night Football game on Thursday afternoon, ESPN analyst Jon Gruden made it clear he is committed to the television network through the 2011 season, and will not pursue college or professional coaching jobs, including the Dallas Cowboys, this offseason. “I’m committed to ESPN, there's not a lot to add,” Gruden said. “I'm eager to get better at it, and there's been a lot of speculation the last few days, and for that, I'm sorry.” Gruden has been linked to the University of Miami job in the past couple of days, and has also been speculated as a potential Cowboys coaching candidate after the team fired Wade Phillips mid-season.

Other reports quote his high school age son as committing to him that he won't coach again until Jon Gruden II has graduated…2012.
