Quote:So who do you think would be the best guy for Denver?

 

  The Peyton Manning situation makes this a difficult question to answer.  No one jumps out.  If the Broncos believe they are a Super Bowl contender in 2015,  someone with NFL HC experience is needed.   At the same time,  Peyton Manning has at most 2 seasons left in the tank.   Realistically,  even one more good season is probably the maximum Manning can provide.  Finding a HC that can put the Broncos in the best possible position to succeed in 2015 and also be a good long term solution is going to be difficult.    Mike Shanahan coming back to Denver came to mind but his Offense doesn't seem like a good fit for Peyton Manning at this stage of the QB's career. 

 

  The combo of Teryl Austin being the HC in Atlanta and Adam Gase being the Falcons Offensive Coordinator is something Austin reportedly is presenting in his 2nd interview with the Falcons.   It would probably be better for the Falcons to go with this combo than the Broncos.   The reason being,  the Falcons don't look like a Super Bowl contender for the 2015 season.    Having a HC and Offensive Coordinator w/o HC experience wouldn't be as much of an obstacle for the Falcons as it would seem to be for the Broncos.   Having said this,  it would make sense for Austin to hire a Defensive Coordinator or an Assistant HC with NFL HC experience.
