The 2015-16 season was not very long ago and Denver Broncos fans have long memories. When Gary Kubiak abruptly retired after the 2016 season due to health reasons, many fans commented that he likely used that as an excuse to avoid firing his close friends on the coaching staff. Friends like Rick Dennison.
Whether or not that held any truth at all to his decision to step down doesn’t really matter now, but what does matter is that just two days ago Kubiak was lining up to take over as offensive coordinator for the Broncos under new head coach Vic Fangio.
