Kiz: Not to suggest the Broncos have stumbled their way down the road to nowhere in this coaching search, but does CEO Greg Penner have a phone number for Mike Shanahan? Sure, Papa Shanny is 70 years old and has grandkids to bounce on his knee, but the Broncos can’t seem to find anyone to take the job. Why is it every time I hear about Penner’s frustrating on-again, off-again wooing of everyone from Jim Harbaugh to DeMeco Ryans do the lyrics of “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen echo in my ears?
Gabriel: Certainly the Broncos’ search has not proceeded the way either A) the franchise ran its search last year or B) the way most teams have done it this year.
