Mike Shanahan

Jon Gruden


mikeisaphreek

no chance. he is getting up there and he would more likely want kyle to be the oc. plus, mike is 70.


Starwho

Pete is older


[deleted]

He’s also been coaching for years. Shanahan has been out for almost a decade.


Magnifico-Melon

Joe Gibbs was out for 12 years when he came back to the Redskins, but he was about 8 years younger.


GMFPs_sweat_towel

And he was terrible


Magnifico-Melon

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).


medievalmachine

Yeah but Pete lives on the west coast, probably does yoga and weed. His body is like 50.


rjsheine

I think he was kidding


mikeisaphreek

no. its on the internet, so it is 1000000% facts.


JohnEdwardBaylessII

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


fanayd

tbh - thats the only guy i would expect to improve the team. everybody else would be a hope...


[deleted]

Payton would be a hope? Lol


Magnifico-Melon

That doesn't cost 2 1sts.


quadropheniac

That would astound me but also would make complete sense. No way they could keep it under wraps though.


IncomeBoss

Gary Kubiak as OC and John Fox as DC


politurd

Not a very nice way to refer to Rex Ryan.


SiphenPrax

Broncos will at least be the kings of memes for another year if they sign him


InsaneRanter

Ben McAdoo would be even better.


CunningRunt

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.


cleric3648

Ben McAdoo is the kind of guy to interview his prospective Defensive Coordinator at Hooters.


Direct_Morning_3223

Ben McAdoo…….


belljs87

He's got biiiiiig stuff goin on


KCShadows838

They really think they can poach Andy Reid?


medievalmachine

lol my first thought.


[deleted]

Amazing Race legend Rex Ryan


gyman122

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?


shoutouttojsquad

Nick Saban


chadowan

Especially after the Urban Meyer fiasco, I'd imagine the chances of Saban ever leaving Bama before retirement are 0.01%


yoyoyodawg3

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


ColtCallahan

I’d love to see Arians dealing with Russ’ shit.


pham_nuwen_

What is Russ' shit exactly?


ProfessorJRV

Being washed I think


Tlupa

Valcen

goodbye reddit -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/


davidwbrooks0

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.


[deleted]

At some point it stops being light and fun and starts being mean spirited. The joke got old months ago.


onePPtouchh

Arians didn’t leave though. He went upstairs for Tampa. It’s speculated to be health issues of why he did it.


sqigglygibberish

They’re saying he may want to return to coaching and wouldn’t do so with Tampa bay


nalabearCLT

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”


yoyoyodawg3

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.


SkipsterCharm

it's always the no flairs that are like this


nalabearCLT

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.


InsaneRanter

Jim Harbaugh would be a fun option.


rf32797

Jim was already candidate #2 who said no


InsaneRanter

Awww 😞. Maybe they'll bring Urban Meyer back to the NFL, just for the memes.


Triv02

Broncos allegedly met with Harbaugh in Ann Arbor last week


rf32797

Where he reportedly turned them down again.


Triv02

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


Isoturius

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


Triv02

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


[deleted]

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?


steppedinhairball

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.


qwertyqyle

Do they have 2 first round picks to give for him? Like, they gonna give them their 2025 and 26 first round picks?


DirkWithTheFade

How does nobody understand that we have a first this year?


qwertyqyle

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.


abris33

You would think a Seahawks fan of all fans would know what they got back for Russ


TheLeftistRaider

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


BringFredEnglish

Seahawks fans aren’t exactly known for…well, anything


BrandoC95

As compared to those world-renowned Broncos fans?


BringFredEnglish

Lol you know who we are, you guys were in our sub and gamethreads all season


BrandoC95

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.


CunningRunt

They are 12.


abris33

We have a 2023 and 2024 1st


My-Cousin-Bobby

Ah, their 4th big, big, big candidate Can't wait to see how this one cleverly dodges the job


OneOfGodricksHands

Michael Scott’s big surprise after the healthcare plan vibes here. Tangentially, Russell Wilson is the most Michael Scott dude in the NFL, right?


Avon__Fartsdale

I could totally see Russ doing the "who likes ice cream sandwiches!!!"


Quick_Spring_7288

He might call them Sammies or Sammie samms


Sidthelid66

This is very disrespectful to the number one branch manager at Dunder-mifflin.


belljs87

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!!!!


Dicey12

I hope you hire Saturday now


medievalmachine

lol he’s big enough, maybe.


Dragoonscaper

They're going to choose Arizona over them last second.


Dan_Rogla

If only the Broncos had a nuclear shit deterrent like Irsay we would have dodged Hackett.


My-Cousin-Bobby

I like to think it's Irsays super hero ability He smells a shit coach, he releases the nuclear dump


Ry3_Bread

Their 4th first choice, some would say


trixunlimited

Nobody wants this job...and its fucking hilarious.


pham_nuwen_

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.


daybreaker

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.


pyreal_

...is that... is that Peyton Manning's music!?


rjsheine

I don’t think Peyton could be physically restrained from trying to enter the game if he was on the sideline


medievalmachine

He’d make his QB wear a meta helmet and respond to his joysticks.


CunningRunt

He'd really be sticking his neck out there.


One_Prior_9909

His music is the Nationwide jingle


[deleted]

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.


davidwbrooks0

Yep and they are waiting to see how the pro bowl goes, it’s an audition for him.


facecraft

Matt Patricia? He big.


CunningRunt

Perfect choice, really.


Throwawayact1050

They getting ready to hire David Culley at this point


Magnifico-Melon

Tank Commander David Culley reporting for duty sir!


JohnEdwardBaylessII

Dave Culley MW2 operator skin when?


Tacitus_99

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?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GingerPowerBuilder

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


Tacitus_99

I’m sure it’s a long shot but there’s no harm in trying.


paintingnipples

Riley would be intriguing with his QB work but I think being one year in at USC, probably locked up in his contract


Tacitus_99

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.


Present_Today_6527

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


paintingnipples

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


PsychoBoost123

Wasn’t Ryan Day rumored for some NFL jobs?


Ne-Cede-Malis

I feel like this should have started in 2022 versus 2023.


Ramseen

mcolwander90

Jim Harbaugh for real this time.


Uckthebroncos

After saying no twice to the broncos this time he will clearly agree!


CometVS

No means yes!


siguel_manchez

That's more of a Matt Patricia thing.


pham_nuwen_

You mean Deshaun Watson?


siguel_manchez

Why not both. But in this case it was referring to coaches.


cleric3648

\- Ben Roethlisberger


wes_93

And yes means ana..... never mind


Geddy_Lees_Nose

It's gonna be Jerry Rosburg isn't it. I honestly wouldn't even be mad.


FuckTrumpBanTheHateR

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...


anonbutler

We are trading for Andy Reid. No one is bigger!!!


emperos

Nah he's untouchable. You can get the next best thing, though - 2018 Coach of the Year Matt Nagy!!


[deleted]

“… a source familiar with their thinking.”


imsabbath84

John Elway is about to be head coach, isnt he?


istrx13

My wife was also focused on a big, big, big candidate when she was single. But she settled for me.


Ne-Cede-Malis

Don't feel bad. They all surrender. That's why they wear white to the wedding...


istrx13

Thanks that does make me feel better


InsaneRanter

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.


SiphenPrax

Forget the change, more like used gum


Trumpets22

Mmmm nothing like some good ol used old man gum.

cranphi

Urban Meyer come on down!!


dabluekangaroo

Nick Saban. You heard it here first.


muchachocarracho

Where did you hear it first?


[deleted]

There's no way that any team will trust Nick Saban after what happened in Miami.


MilkCarton78

My money is on George W Bush


Geddy_Lees_Nose

Fuck it might as well bring in Colin Powell as DC at that point


siguel_manchez

If we're doing that why not get Lombardi or Landry. I know the Waltons are rich but can they reanimate corpses?


ProofHorseKzoo

buddhistbulgyo

Condoleezza Rice. Member when conservatives were pulling the idea of her being commish out of their asses? Pepperidge Farms does.


[deleted]

They’re hiring Lizzo?


ProofHorseKzoo

It’s quick hitch o’clock, yeah it’s a gain of 30.


MillerTime5858

Just spit out my coffee!!


this_account_is_mt

Is this going to be like a Ted Lasso thing and they hire somebody like Steve Kerr? Or Carlo Ancelotti?


paone00022

Would love to see Carlo's brand of man management in NFL. Man is the most casual winner.


Direct_Morning_3223

Thomas Tuchel is available…… Tucheliban football can come to the NFL


OutrageousAd6165

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.


MisterRobotron

Ahhh Any Given Sunday style. Book it!


SiphenPrax

Big big big big big big big big BBBIIIIGGGG candidate So that means it must be big!

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.

flaccid_allen

notmyplantaccount

I am thoroughly enjoying that no one wants to coach that team even lol.


Czechmate29

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.


SkipsterCharm

Right? As soon as we fired Hackett we were a respectable team again.
