"Kubiak is considered one of the top offensive coordinator candidates around the league. He still is under contract with Denver, and the Broncos can deny him from leaving."
I know. The denial doesn't change what the interest meant though.

Why is everybody ignoring the most simple explanation that maybe they just wanted Kubiak as the OC no matter who the HC will be?
To jump to the conclusion that they have already decided on one of the in-house turds means to also jump to the conclusion that they went through an elaborate ruse by going all the way to California. Does that sound anything like Mike?
You don't hire the OC without input from the HC. At least you shouldn't. Especially considering 90% of their interviews have been with offensive guys. You really want Kubiak fighting with a new HC over what system to install?
On the last bit, IF we're hiring an internal guy, I could see Mike faking his way through an "exhaustive search" to appease the dwindling fan base.
At this point, I'm just hoping we're taking this long because the best candidates are still coaching. It does seem odd that no team has announced a hire yet. Seems the candidate pool isn't as exciting as years past. Idk for sure that the interest in Kubiak = interest in Lazor, but I also don't see why we'd put the cart before the horse. I'd think the interest in Kubiak at least means one of our top candidates wanted him.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
