After the Ravens lost to the Patriots, offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said that he had no interest in pursuing head coaching jobs this offseason and would return to Baltimore for the 2015 season.
Kubiak made those comments before the Broncos and coach John Fox became the latest team and coach to suddenly discover that they both wanted nothing to do with each other. The Broncos reportedly want to see if that change of circumstance leads Kubiak to change his mind about refusing interviews.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Broncos will request an interview with Kubiak, who has a long history with the organization. Kubiak played nine years for the Broncos, spending all that time as the backup to current General Manager John Elway. He then returned to the team as an assistant coach in 1995 and spent 11 years as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator under Mike Shanahan, winning a pair of Super Bowls in the process.
Kubiak may still prefer to remain in Baltimore, but there’s nothing for the Broncos to lose by asking if a longtime member of the organization wants to come back.
