The more and more I think about the Broncos and there current coaching situation, it has become more and more apparent what the succesful teams have done the last couple years. Pittsburgh when Cowler retired gave the job to a well liked guy from within in Tomlin. The Bucanneers did the same in giving the job to Morris, a players coach. The Colts as well handed the reins to Caldwell once Dungy retired. The Ravens as well hired from within. I guess you guys can see were I'm going with this.
Anyways I understand our situation is a little different but our offense has been pretty good, above average. With a few changes and not a drastic overhaul I think is our best chance to continue to have an offense in similar rankings next year.
Our Defense is the problem, so why bring our offense into this. Hire a new Defensive Coordinator (too bad McDaniels wasn't a stubborn little boy and fired Nolan). Keep McCoy and the same offensive system with some changes to allow for a better running game and better balance. You'll see better improvement from Tebow if you keep McCoy and the same offensive scheme. It's imperative not to blow this all up.
All the teams i've mentioned (Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Baltimore, etc.) all have one thing in common. Great coordinators. There's problems on defense which could easily be fixed. We all know our DL is porous and that our secondary needs some playmakers (with the exception of Champ Bailey, who I do believe we will resign, which IMO is a step in the right direction).
Our team has skill. We've had a bad year. First we lose the NFL sack leader for the year, then we get this videotape scandal. It was a bad season, but were not worthy of our standing. We have a lot more talent then teams that placed higher, maybe not playoff worthy but a .500 team. Not to mention a tough schedule.
Now that we have a GM (it sounds as though Xanders will be given a chance to do his job) in place making the player/personnel decisions with some help from good old Elway we can address our needs this offseason. Signing key free agents, making proper draft picks, managing salaries, etc. Leave all that stuff to the guys in the front office and let our HC get the most out of our players. We need someone who the players love to play for. As much as I think the Jets are attention seekers, you hear and see the players got their coaches back like Rex has theirs.
Studesville is one of those kind of guys. He's got his players backs. He gets it. And the players love playing for him. Even though we only managed one win in his four games as HC, you could tell a difference in the players energy and effort. Its the blueprint of the successful teams of the present.
I understand we need out with some veterans on defense and in with some youth. But changing schemes, making drastic roster adjustments and new personnel is what comes with a new HC from a different team. It'll take twice as long to restart again then to just fix the problems that we had this past season (our defense and running game) which can be fixed quite simply this offseason with the right draft picks and free agent aquisitions.
Its bad enough we've had a new defensive coordinator each of the last two years. We've been always trying to catch up and it seems once we have caught up (our offense) we decide to just start over again. I believe Eric Studesville given the full-time HC job is a great, and over seen idea which should really be looked upon.
You want the best results this coming season? then hire within the organization and make only the changes that are necessary. For the love of all Broncos supporters do whats right Xanders/Elway/Bowlen!!
