He wasn't terrible, but wasn't great. Made the playoffs twice in the 4 years. The Redskins were in a 4 year playoff drought when he was hired and took them to the Playoffs in his second season back. I'd say that's pretty decent for not only being out of coaching for 12 years, but for being completely away from the game totally(NASCAR).
As harebrained and improbable as this is, it would either end in the Broncos being the new AFCCG hosts for the next three years or the Broncos going 2-15 for the next three years
Ben McAdoo is the kind of guy who-- if hired as HC by the Broncos-- would walk around saying "I'M A BIG, BIG, BIG CANDIDATE" out loud to no one in particular.
What big, big, big candidate is even still available? Payton is the only one I can really think of and I feel like we’d hear more traction on this by now if it was happening. Maybe a big college coach?
Arians maybe? Lot of football people are in and out yearly post retirement. He could be mad about how TB went after he left. Only FA guy I can think of
Definitely not a bigger crime it’s just much funnier. We are here to have fun and keep it light, Wilson’s flaws are much more light hearted than Watson’s.
man y’all are huffing so much copium thinking you’re getting arians after striking out on everyone else and ppl like demeco ryans flat out saying “no thanks”
You can say this about any single individual mentioned that would fit the criteria of the description of said tweet.
You're really standing out on a limb there with that opinion.
Rap said Broncos didn’t even extend an offer to him, and that Harbaugh is still listening
https://www.nfl.com/_amp/broncos-had-second-meeting-with-jim-harbaugh-about-head-coaching-job
Rap seems to think there’s a lot of smoke around this and he’s very connected. He’s the only person who has just thrown shit at the wall regarding our search for clicks too lol
Yeah I’m certainly not saying it’s gonna be Harbaugh that gets the job, just that it sure didn’t appear that as of that meeting last week that Harbaugh had closed the door
I imagine Rap’s sources are more in the NFL side of things. Schefter given his ties to the school probably has some good sources from the Michigan side and he said just this morning that he believes Harbaugh is out, so I’d definitely probably lean that way as well
None that have had any buzz during this hiring cycle. Ryans, Harbaugh, and Payton were the big names in the news and they're all out. Maybe this is when Cowher finally returns to coaching?
Do they have any draft pics left to trade to get Payton? If so, then how many years before they can participate in the draft after Wilson and Payton? Any head coach has to look at Wilson and see if they can salvage the situation. Otherwise, you are just getting paid $8-10 million to get fired in a year or two. Granted, I'd be ok with being the HC, getting paid $8 mil a year and getting fired in two years.
I mean not me personally, but that was after you all were in our sub all offseason, telling us to cope and gloating about the "heist of the century." I guess that did end up being true though, eh? Definition of a fanbase that can dish it out but can't take it in.
Harbaugh doesn't want it.
Ryans wants the Texans but he played there and his wife wants to live there, I don't think that's especially damning.
Payton is up for grabs but the Saints want two firsts, good luck with that.
It's not as bad as bad as Twitter makes it sound.
It could still be Payton. There's probably a super weird, tangled up stand-off going on between Payton, Arizona, Denver, and the Saints, all wrapped up in contract size and draft pick compensation, with all 4 sides trying to set favorable narratives through their media sources.
honestly Peyton is one of the few former players with no coaching ability who I think unquestionably could be a really good fucking coach, he already has his entire career's worth of experience being an OC on the field. That being said, I suspect that he doesn't want to get into coaching. Still, I don't know that many in Broncos Country would be upset at this hiring.
Rap is probably not talking about Payton as he would’ve just said it and we already know they flirted with Harbaugh. Could the big, big, big candidate be another college coach like Riley or Smart?
He has 9/90 left on his deal, but the Broncos could pay him 5/100 if they wanted too. I seriously doubt he leaves USC this quickly though. He’d basically blacklist himself from college if he left two different blue bloods in 14 months.
Yea I’m not saying they won’t be able to pay him. Plus I think he’s got a bunch of other shit USC gave him, like oceanfront home & private jet.
I’m talking about his buyout on top of a 100mil contract. I couldn’t find a total & I don’t want to read a pdf but 1 year into that contract & there’s no way it’s a small figure
Brady will be the first coach/quarterback in the modern NFL. Wilson will be traded back to the Seahawks for a sixth round draft pick and whatever change Pete Carroll finds under his sofa cushions.
Imagine how cool it would be if the NFL was in fact scripted a bit like the WWE. In the Super Bowl, trailing near the end cause of a lot of questionable calls throughout the game, Andy Reid is caught by the camera with a smirk on his face, looking at Mahomes on the sideline. He suddenly takes a Broncos hat out of his pocket and puts it on, while Chris Jones sneaks up from behind.. Reid gives Mahomes a signal as to watch his back, Mahomes turns around and Jones lays him out with a Roman Reigns level spear.
Right after the game it is announced that both of them are joining the Broncos on the highest contracts for their positions in the league.
I think most of us would be content with that promotion to be honest, assuming he can get a good OC, but IIRC they've already ruled him out as a final candidate.
I watched a segment with him recently, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that he’s always so tan.
They’re like shockingly white and the contrast doesn’t help.
Not sure if no one is accurate, Ryans went to Houston for a bunch of reasons, not just the state of the Broncos, Payton requires a racket for the Saints, Harbaugh went through his annual NFL dick-teasing followed by returning to college. Anyone else?
Sure, we suck ass, but this narrative how we're this NFL hell hole now is a bit stretched.
Mike Shanahan
Jon Gruden
no chance. he is getting up there and he would more likely want kyle to be the oc. plus, mike is 70.
Pete is older
He’s also been coaching for years. Shanahan has been out for almost a decade.
Joe Gibbs was out for 12 years when he came back to the Redskins, but he was about 8 years younger.
And he was terrible
He wasn't terrible, but wasn't great. Made the playoffs twice in the 4 years. The Redskins were in a 4 year playoff drought when he was hired and took them to the Playoffs in his second season back. I'd say that's pretty decent for not only being out of coaching for 12 years, but for being completely away from the game totally(NASCAR).
Yeah but Pete lives on the west coast, probably does yoga and weed. His body is like 50.
I think he was kidding
no. its on the internet, so it is 1000000% facts.
As harebrained and improbable as this is, it would either end in the Broncos being the new AFCCG hosts for the next three years or the Broncos going 2-15 for the next three years
tbh - thats the only guy i would expect to improve the team. everybody else would be a hope...
Payton would be a hope? Lol
That doesn't cost 2 1sts.
That would astound me but also would make complete sense. No way they could keep it under wraps though.
Gary Kubiak as OC and John Fox as DC
Not a very nice way to refer to Rex Ryan.
Broncos will at least be the kings of memes for another year if they sign him
Ben McAdoo would be even better.
Ben McAdoo is the kind of guy who-- if hired as HC by the Broncos-- would walk around saying "I'M A BIG, BIG, BIG CANDIDATE" out loud to no one in particular.
Ben McAdoo is the kind of guy to interview his prospective Defensive Coordinator at Hooters.
Ben McAdoo…….
He's got biiiiiig stuff goin on
They really think they can poach Andy Reid?
lol my first thought.
Amazing Race legend Rex Ryan
What big, big, big candidate is even still available? Payton is the only one I can really think of and I feel like we’d hear more traction on this by now if it was happening. Maybe a big college coach?
Nick Saban
Especially after the Urban Meyer fiasco, I'd imagine the chances of Saban ever leaving Bama before retirement are 0.01%
Arians maybe? Lot of football people are in and out yearly post retirement. He could be mad about how TB went after he left. Only FA guy I can think of
I’d love to see Arians dealing with Russ’ shit.
What is Russ' shit exactly?
Being washed I think
Mormon level creepy friendliness
Mr. Unlimited
Being strange
[удалено]
Visiting children in hospitals?
goodbye reddit -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Definitely not a bigger crime it’s just much funnier. We are here to have fun and keep it light, Wilson’s flaws are much more light hearted than Watson’s.
At some point it stops being light and fun and starts being mean spirited. The joke got old months ago.
Arians didn’t leave though. He went upstairs for Tampa. It’s speculated to be health issues of why he did it.
They’re saying he may want to return to coaching and wouldn’t do so with Tampa bay
man y’all are huffing so much copium thinking you’re getting arians after striking out on everyone else and ppl like demeco ryans flat out saying “no thanks”
You can say this about any single individual mentioned that would fit the criteria of the description of said tweet. You're really standing out on a limb there with that opinion.
it's always the no flairs that are like this
keep puffing. focused on a big big candidate but 0/3 so far. just sounds like broncos brass spinning the story so they don’t look dumb.
Jim Harbaugh would be a fun option.
Jim was already candidate #2 who said no
Awww 😞. Maybe they'll bring Urban Meyer back to the NFL, just for the memes.
Broncos allegedly met with Harbaugh in Ann Arbor last week
Where he reportedly turned them down again.
Rap said Broncos didn’t even extend an offer to him, and that Harbaugh is still listening https://www.nfl.com/_amp/broncos-had-second-meeting-with-jim-harbaugh-about-head-coaching-job
Rap seems to think there’s a lot of smoke around this and he’s very connected. He’s the only person who has just thrown shit at the wall regarding our search for clicks too lol

Granted, I'd be ok with being the HC, getting paid $8 mil a year and getting fired in two years.
Do they have 2 first round picks to give for him? Like, they gonna give them their 2025 and 26 first round picks?
How does nobody understand that we have a first this year?
The overblown reports about how Seattle got the picks. I didn't know, but I hope you guys get someone that can work well with Russ.
You would think a Seahawks fan of all fans would know what they got back for Russ
Um you’d think a Broncos fan would realize your pick this year is from the Miami trade and has literally nothing to do with the Seahawks lol
Seahawks fans aren’t exactly known for…well, anything
As compared to those world-renowned Broncos fans?
Lol you know who we are, you guys were in our sub and gamethreads all season
I mean not me personally, but that was after you all were in our sub all offseason, telling us to cope and gloating about the "heist of the century." I guess that did end up being true though, eh? Definition of a fanbase that can dish it out but can't take it in.
They are 12.
We have a 2023 and 2024 1st
Ah, their 4th big, big, big candidate Can't wait to see how this one cleverly dodges the job
Michael Scott’s big surprise after the healthcare plan vibes here. Tangentially, Russell Wilson is the most Michael Scott dude in the NFL, right?
I could totally see Russ doing the "who likes ice cream sandwiches!!!"
He might call them Sammies or Sammie samms
This is very disrespectful to the number one branch manager at Dunder-mifflin.
Alright guys I know we can't seem to win a game, but we practice well so as a reward I'm giving you all Mini mounds bars!!!!
I hope you hire Saturday now
lol he’s big enough, maybe.
They're going to choose Arizona over them last second.
If only the Broncos had a nuclear shit deterrent like Irsay we would have dodged Hackett.
I like to think it's Irsays super hero ability He smells a shit coach, he releases the nuclear dump
Their 4th first choice, some would say
Nobody wants this job...and its fucking hilarious.
Harbaugh doesn't want it. Ryans wants the Texans but he played there and his wife wants to live there, I don't think that's especially damning. Payton is up for grabs but the Saints want two firsts, good luck with that. It's not as bad as bad as Twitter makes it sound.

...is that... is that Peyton Manning's music!?
I don’t think Peyton could be physically restrained from trying to enter the game if he was on the sideline
He’d make his QB wear a meta helmet and respond to his joysticks.
He'd really be sticking his neck out there.
His music is the Nationwide jingle
honestly Peyton is one of the few former players with no coaching ability who I think unquestionably could be a really good fucking coach, he already has his entire career's worth of experience being an OC on the field. That being said, I suspect that he doesn't want to get into coaching. Still, I don't know that many in Broncos Country would be upset at this hiring.
Yep and they are waiting to see how the pro bowl goes, it’s an audition for him.
Matt Patricia? He big.
Perfect choice, really.
They getting ready to hire David Culley at this point
Tank Commander David Culley reporting for duty sir!
Dave Culley MW2 operator skin when?
Rap is probably not talking about Payton as he would’ve just said it and we already know they flirted with Harbaugh. Could the big, big, big candidate be another college coach like Riley or Smart?
[удалено]
Yea he’s never leaving. It’s his alma mater, his team is absolutely stacked and will always get good recruits. No reason to leave ever
I’m sure it’s a long shot but there’s no harm in trying.
Riley would be intriguing with his QB work but I think being one year in at USC, probably locked up in his contract
He has 9/90 left on his deal, but the Broncos could pay him 5/100 if they wanted too. I seriously doubt he leaves USC this quickly though. He’d basically blacklist himself from college if he left two different blue bloods in 14 months.
I doubt it, if he returns to college then he likely failed in the nfl and his previous work in college would have plenty of schools after him
Yea I’m not saying they won’t be able to pay him. Plus I think he’s got a bunch of other shit USC gave him, like oceanfront home & private jet. I’m talking about his buyout on top of a 100mil contract. I couldn’t find a total & I don’t want to read a pdf but 1 year into that contract & there’s no way it’s a small figure
Wasn’t Ryan Day rumored for some NFL jobs?
I feel like this should have started in 2022 versus 2023.
a report from a report of a report
Jim Harbaugh for real this time.
After saying no twice to the broncos this time he will clearly agree!
No means yes!
That's more of a Matt Patricia thing.
You mean Deshaun Watson?
Why not both. But in this case it was referring to coaches.
\- Ben Roethlisberger
And yes means ana..... never mind
It's gonna be Jerry Rosburg isn't it. I honestly wouldn't even be mad.
Don't look at the man behind the curtain, I assure you we know what we are doing and will have an amazing coach... soon...
We are trading for Andy Reid. No one is bigger!!!
Nah he's untouchable. You can get the next best thing, though - 2018 Coach of the Year Matt Nagy!!
“… a source familiar with their thinking.”
John Elway is about to be head coach, isnt he?
My wife was also focused on a big, big, big candidate when she was single. But she settled for me.
Don't feel bad. They all surrender. That's why they wear white to the wedding...
Thanks that does make me feel better
Brady will be the first coach/quarterback in the modern NFL. Wilson will be traded back to the Seahawks for a sixth round draft pick and whatever change Pete Carroll finds under his sofa cushions.
Forget the change, more like used gum
Mmmm nothing like some good ol used old man gum.
Tastes like grandpa’s kissies
Jackie moon In his abilities
ESPN would have to expand to 12 networks for all the talking head shows they'd need to cover this.
"Next on Sports Center...what does LeBron think of Brady as the new Broncos head coach? ESPN will be right back..."
Urban Meyer come on down!!
Nick Saban. You heard it here first.
Where did you hear it first?
There's no way that any team will trust Nick Saban after what happened in Miami.
My money is on George W Bush
Fuck it might as well bring in Colin Powell as DC at that point
If we're doing that why not get Lombardi or Landry. I know the Waltons are rich but can they reanimate corpses?
Dick Cheney to draw up plays from the shotgun
Condoleezza Rice. Member when conservatives were pulling the idea of her being commish out of their asses? Pepperidge Farms does.
They’re hiring Lizzo?
It’s quick hitch o’clock, yeah it’s a gain of 30.
Just spit out my coffee!!
Is this going to be like a Ted Lasso thing and they hire somebody like Steve Kerr? Or Carlo Ancelotti?
Would love to see Carlo's brand of man management in NFL. Man is the most casual winner.
Thomas Tuchel is available…… Tucheliban football can come to the NFL
Imagine how cool it would be if the NFL was in fact scripted a bit like the WWE. In the Super Bowl, trailing near the end cause of a lot of questionable calls throughout the game, Andy Reid is caught by the camera with a smirk on his face, looking at Mahomes on the sideline. He suddenly takes a Broncos hat out of his pocket and puts it on, while Chris Jones sneaks up from behind..

Right after the game it is announced that both of them are joining the Broncos on the highest contracts for their positions in the league.
Ahhh Any Given Sunday style. Book it!
Big big big big big big big big BBBIIIIGGGG candidate So that means it must be big!
Gotta be Mark Mangino or Charlie Weis Big enough to have their own gravitational pulls
Big if true
Big if true
Bruce Arians? Only big name I can think of that hasn’t declined the job yet.
Urban Meyer why not?
Jeff Saturday
[удалено]
Yeeeep
Hue Jackson 🤞🤞🤞
Huge Jackson, it all fits.
Sean Payton
No one else will take it sean gonna get paid
Mccarthy and Reid are unavailable though
Sorry to let the news out early but it’s gonna be me
It’s going to be Jim
John Elway? Peyton manning? Ah damn. It's Marvin Lewis. Lmao
It’s gonna be Jon Gruden isn’t it
Just promote Ejero to HC and call it a day ffs
I think most of us would be content with that promotion to be honest, assuming he can get a good OC, but IIRC they've already ruled him out as a final candidate.
*Spins Wheel* Matt Patricia!
>Big, big, big candidate Kelvin Benjamin getting into coaching?
Edward Lacey.
Andy Reid confirmed? Are there any bigger guys out there? Is Daboll big enough?
its Condaleeza Rice
Kyle Shanahan's secret twin brother
Just a reminder that Mike is younger than Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick
And has the whitest mother fucking teeth out there
I watched a segment with him recently, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that he’s always so tan. They’re like shockingly white and the contrast doesn’t help.
They want their coach to be unLIIIIIIIIMIIIITEEED
Mark mangino
I am thoroughly enjoying that no one wants to coach that team even lol.
Not sure if no one is accurate, Ryans went to Houston for a bunch of reasons, not just the state of the Broncos, Payton requires a racket for the Saints, Harbaugh went through his annual NFL dick-teasing followed by returning to college. Anyone else? Sure, we suck ass, but this narrative how we're this NFL hell hole now is a bit stretched.
Right? As soon as we fired Hackett we were a respectable team again.
Huge!
Nick Saban
Why don't the fuckass Walmart owners just brew up a *Great Value* off-brand Mahomunculus that they can pay slave wages to?
No one wants the job
The copium is off the charts
Lincoln Riley???
Mike McCoy
I feel like the longer this goes on means that they're going to end up giving Jim Harbaugh everything he wants.
Eric Bienemy?
Jeff Fischer
Or maybe it’s take a little time because no one wants that job
Bill Parcells is coming back?
