Also has been an OC before with Pettine in CLE (their offense was pretty good with nada) How about Jim Bob Cooter if he isn't retained by Detroit?

However i think Patricia was told he has to keep Cooter the Owner loves him. And i think that is likely why Patricia was hired as a defensive mind just keep the O alone. See tweet below Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) 1/1/18, 6:50 AM The #Lions are expected to interview #Patriots DC Matt Patricia for their now-vacant head coaching job. There will be others, but Patricia could keep the respected offensive staff in place. GM Bob Quinn's New England ties will help. Edited January 8, 2018 by MAJBobby

Would Kubiak consider an Asst Head Coach for O and QB development, with play calling duty and Dennison stays on as OC? Maybe a viable solution.
BillsFan130 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Kind of 50/50 on Kubiak Wasn't Dennison's playbook the same as Kubiak's though? Or at least very similar. I guess the main difference would be play calling?

Given that relationship, I doubt that Kubiak would be interested in a job that was created by the firing of one of "his" guys. Just my gut feeling on the topic. Its a good idea but like this poster said, that alone makes it a pipe dream
BrooklynBills Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Kubiak would be great and should be the type of hire that McDermott should be looking for - a HC of Offense. Something like what Wade Phillips has been on defense for the few teams that have hired him, most recently the Rams. That said, I doubt he would come here to take his longtime offensive partner's job. I like the base system that Dennison wants to run here and people are paying attention they would see that the most successful, consistent offenses recently in the NFL utilize the Shananan zone/WC offense as their base: Sean McVay, Jay Gruden, Kyle Shanahan, Pat Shurmur, Doug Pederson, Sean Payton, Andy Reid - all zone blocking/WC based offenses. Our current offensive staff, including Dennison, is a very patchwork group of coaches. Dennison has never been the main playcaller, nor has he ever been the lead offensive voice at any stop he's had in the NFL(I actually thought his overall gameplanning and strategy was good this year; his in game playcalling was very suspect however). Castillo and Culley were both reportedly on the outs in BAL and KC, respectively, and each team had no problem letting either guy go. Culley has never been a QB coach before. Our WR coach has never been one at the NFL level. They all have a background in this offensive system at their various stops though. It is clear to me that McDermott has an idea of the offensive style that he wants to run. McCoy, Olson, and Childress(all guys that were reportedly higher on the candidate list for OC) all run this style of offense. And they all turned him down. I'm guessing because no one wanted to be saddled with our QB situation as its a recipe for exactly what we are talking about with Dennison now. All that being said, I doubt anyone worth anything is coming here without some semblance of a QB situation figured out. Which is why, unless they have come to some type of backchannel agreement with McCoy, I would imagine Dennison stays until they get a young QB to work with on the roster. 1 hour ago, billsfan11 said: Kind of 50/50 on Kubiak Wasn't Dennison's playbook the same as Kubiak's though?

I am not sure Dennison can implement it. So here is my option i am throwing into the mix. Gary Kubiak. Go hire him to replace Dennison has worked with young QBs as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2742608-gary-kubiak-reportedly-would-consider-returning-to-nfl-as-oc-in-2018.amp.html Kubiak is a SB winning head coach with health issues. No way he comes back, especially for a OC position. Wishful thinking. Guess I should have read the article first lol. Git r dun! Edited January 9, 2018 by CDogg20

If we had him I know we could make it with Taylor. Compared to the offense he had here this past one looked like the Bucs or someone close. Who was even our TE? Scott Chandler and Lee Smith lol. Wow.

My Broncos buddy said that kubiak relied heavily on Dennison for offense and playcalling. They worked together here in Houston with the Texans and Denison was one of the reasons Kubiak got fired.

Wouldn't the announcement have come already if we were moving on from him? Not necessarily. I don't think Beane and McDermott are the hasty types. They will get through locker clean out day, debriefing players and talking with them. Then McDermott will take some time and reflect on it. 1 hour ago, Agent 91 said: I wish we could get Chan.

Oh, God, no! Chan is the one who play-called for Fitz like he had the second incarnation of Drew Brees crossed with Aaron Rodgers under center, and he didn't.

I think Dennison if fears job in trouble would welcome this in a way. But Kubiak offense has not been good as well. I'd rather get in touch offense's that are good nowdays.

However, if this link is to be believed, and Kubiak could return as OC, then yes, you do it and get a YOUNG QB so Kubiak can help develop him properly. Otherwise, except for changing names, you're not changing much. One of the bigger name college QBs and Kubiak as OC/Quarterback Whisperer would be ideal. Probably too ideal to be realistic, but I love the idea.
