Kubiak Considering Retirement

Broncos Coach Might Step Down


Reports by NFL.com and ESPN have said that there is a good possibility that Gary Kubiak might retire at the end of this season. He led the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl win against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, in Peyton Manning's last year as a quarterback. This season, his team has struggled a bit due to stagnant offensive play, and currently 8-7. They will miss the playoffs. Kubiak has been considering retirement after Week 17's game against the Raiders because of health concerns. In one game this season, he had to leave the game and go to the hospital as a result of certain ailments, and was unable to coach in the next game. Kubiak has had a great career as a player and a coach, and if he retires, the Broncos will have to search for a new coach - someone who can lead the team back to the playoffs and another Super Bowl. They will also have to figure out what to do about the quarterback situation along with John Elway. Here are the top coaching candidates if Kubiak does indeed retire:
  1. Wade Philips - Broncos Defensive Coordinator
  2. Vance Joseph - Dolphins Defensive Coordinator
  3. Josh McDaniels - Patriots Offensive Coordinator
  4. Kyle Shanahan - Falcons Offensive Coordinator
  5. Darrell Bevell - Seahawks Offensive Coordinator
Here is some other news about head coach positions around the league:
  • The San Francisco 49ers will probably fire both Chip Kelly and Trent Baalke, their general manager, at the end of the season, looking to clear the entire house for a new head coach to take over.
  • There is mutual interest between Sean Payton, the Saints head coach, and the Los Angeles Rams. The Saints are slowly becoming tired of their mediocre seasons every year, so they might look to trade Payton. Sean Payton would work with a lot of young talent in Los Angeles, and he loves the location as well.
  • John Fox (Bears), Mike McCoy (Chargers), and Chuck Pagano (Colts), are all on thin ice, and the owners are figuring out what to do in their cases.
  • Todd Bowles, the Jets head coach, will probably stay with the team for at least another season.

Why the Patriots Won Super Bowl 51

Pats Win Over Falcons 34-28 in OT It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Patriots could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half, the Falcons could not get anything going. Belichick and Brady pulled off some more magic and won their fifth Super Bowl together. In the second half, it seemed as though the game was getting away from the Atlanta Falcons, and their youth caught up to them. I believe that this game should have definitely been won by the Falcons, but the game slipped away from them. There are many reasons to explain what happened, including the fact that the Falcons did not run the football to milk down the clock in the second half, they turned the ball over when it was not necessary, they did not play as tough and physical on defense and seemed gassed, and even just because Tom Brady and the rest of his offense played a hell of a game. In my opinion, though, the real reason why the Patriots won, is because of t...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...
