Interesting him being a linebacker as a player, but his entire coaching career is on the offensive side. He has been successful though.

 

But he started out as an offense player in college.

He is very smart with masters degree in engineering.

Must read article - really like this hire.

 

Obviously the Broncos struggled this year, so no surprise there are fans calling for his head. I mean, the Internet, right? :beer:

Also this:

 

 

@KevinMassare

Rick Dennison finished top half of the league in offense in 7/9 years, including 5 top 11 finishes.

Uh oh.

 

That sounds like the 49ers fans with Greg Roman.

 

That didn't work out well.

I just did a search on Rick Dennison on Twitter and the tweets from Broncos fans last fall weren't good.

 

Hopefully that won't be the case in Buffalo, but it doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in his abilities as an OC.

Twitter hates every OC all the time. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

I'm always wary of how much credit to give any OC under a HC who runs the whole offensive show like Kubiak does. I like Dennison's experience but he's never really had his own offense. I'm sure he's prepared for it, and has it ready to be installed. But it's still a guy who never ran the show.

So then the Twitter ire should have been directed at Kubes instead?
