5 NFL teams who should hire Gary Kubiak

Even though Gary Kubiak is stepping down as the Broncos head coach here are five teams who should hire him as their offensive coordinator.

For the second time in his career, Gary Kubiak’s health has forced him to relinquish a head coaching job. It’s sad because he’s truly a great coach. However, with his health creating issues, Kubiak has probably coached his last NFL game.

That doesn’t mean he’s completely done on the sidelines. Kubiak is a brilliant offensive mind and could elect to serve as an offensive coordinator somewhere. Teams will definitely be interested because of his track record. He last served as the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, helping the franchise set several records during the 2014 NFL season.

While Kubiak likely can’t handle the stress of being a head coach, he was able to handle being the Ravens offensive coordinator. With several teams having offensive coordinator vacancies, he likely won’t have to wait long to be hired again. Here are five NFL teams who should hire Gary Kubiak.

5. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots could be looking for a new offensive coordinator. Currently, Josh McDaniels holds the role. However, multiple teams have expressed a desire to interview him for a head coaching job. Knowing McDaniels, it would surprise no one if he decides to take another shot at coaching.

Kubiak could be an excellent fit in New England if they lose their offensive coordinator. With Tom Brady nearing 40 years old, Bill Belichick might be exploring ways to make the offense more balanced. Kubiak can do so better than anyone else.

It would admittedly be a bit of a weird dynamic between the two. But a Kubiak and Belichick tandem could take the Patriots to another Super Bowl. At the same time, it’s worth noting New England likes to stay in house when they have to replace coaches. But someone like Kubiak might be an exception.
