Gary Kubiak expects Peyton Manning to return in 2015

Peyton Manning has been ho-hum about his future in the NFL but mea Denver Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak expects the future Hall of Famer back in 2015. 

The Denver Broncos are teetering on the brink of a new era — the only question is just how new will this era be? So far John Fox has been replaced as head coach by Gary Kubiak and Peyton Manning is set to decide whether or not he’s going to return in the coming days.

Fox is gone, Kubiak is in — which is the first major change of this new era. But Manning is going to be the linchpin to true change as his presence will make things transitional while his absence jars the Broncos into a new and unknown era.

According to the Denver Post, Gary Kubiak is not sweating news that the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning are at a crossroads and fully expects the quarterback to return in 2015 for another season.

"“I’m expecting him to come back,” Kubiak said. “We want to play with him. This organization has won a lot of games with him and we want to get back and do it again. Expecting him to come back.”"

Of course, Kubiak — who just took the job of head coach this offseason — is one of the en heavily relying on Maning to return. With a a high first-round draft pick, the future at quarterback for the Broncos would be Brock Osweiler, which isn’t really what Kubiak signed up for when he was hired.

Then again, Kubiak survived David Carr as his quarterback and the troubles in Houston all those  years, so he may actually be the perfect man for the job if Manning retires. But Kubiak is a guy that seems to have it together, which is something that should bring Manning back, if his body will allow him to, in 2015.
