After two years, Gary Kubiak is slated to step down as the head coach of the Denver Broncos, according to a report from ESPN.
Following Sunday’s game, Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr., and other players, confirmed that Kubiak talked with the players ahead of the game and told them he’ll be retiring.
Joseph is expected to be among the potential candidates for the position as Kubiak’s future is finalized following the team’s season finale Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
We are glad to have provided Broncos Country with all of our news and analysis throughout the 2016 season. The 49ers completed their season with a loss to the Seattle Seahawks and a 2-14 record. He was then hired by the Baltimore Ravens as the team’s offensive coordinator for the 2014 season.
The soon-to-be-former Denver Broncos’ head coach decided not to mention his sobering career situation to his coaching staff and players prior to the game here Sunday. The defending Super Bowl champions are not exactly on a pace to go back to back.
After being eliminated from the postseason by the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night, the Broncos season was effectively finished. He is in the second year of a four-year contract.
RAVENS: Wide receiver Steve Smith officially announced his retirement after catching three passes for 34 yards during Baltimore’s 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Plus, without both starting and backup quarterbacks Derek Carr and Matt McGloin, the Raiders may not have the passer they need to lead what has been a dynamic offense. Kansas City, which has been criminally underrated all season, represents the stiffest competition to New England-not Pittsburgh-on the way to Super Bowl LI.
Neither Trevor Siemian nor Paxton Lynch settled in at quarterback.
Broncos: Special teamer Zaire Anderson was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after being injured on punt coverage in the third quarter.
Kubiak’s family has reportedly been urging him to leave the coaching profession to retire in Texas.
When he was head coach of the Texans in 2013, Kubiak suffered a “mini-stroke” and had to be rushed to the hospital. Indy went 75 yards in 84 seconds with no timeouts to avoid its first losing season since 2011, sending retiring linebacker Robert Mathis out with a win in his final National Football League game. Taking the Denver Broncos the distance has been Kubiak’s main priority for two years, but now his health is going to be his priority.
