5 reasons the Denver Broncos will still play in Super Bowl 51

2. Gary Kubiak is a mad scientist

Gary Kubiak has devoted the last 24 years of his life to coaching. The first two years of his career were spent at Texas A&M coaching running backs and the next 22 years were spent at the pro level, where he worked mostly with quarterbacks and as an offensive coordinator.

Over the years, he has worked alongside some of the most successful coaches in football history. George Seifert, Mike Shanahan and John Harbaugh have all played an important role in getting him to where he is today. Thanks to some expert tutelage, he’s coached many teams to winning seasons and has celebrated four Super Bowl victories.

Kubiak has also worked with some of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the sport. His long list of impressive pupils include Super Bowl MVP’s and Hall of Fame quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Steve Young and current Broncos GM John Elway.

Though it’s true these quarterbacks were skilled enough to win on their own, it appears Kubiak can win with just about anyone. The confidence he instills in all his QBs has been particularly obvious this season, as he’s led his team to a 4-1 start with a second-year signal caller in Trevor Siemian who had never played a professional snap before the start of the season.

Lest we forget, Kubiak was also the offensive coordinator who led the Broncos to a wild-card playoff win against the heavily-favored Pittsburgh Steelers with Tim Tebow, a man many said could never win at the pro level, leading the charge.

With a now confident starter at the quarterback position and a dominant defense, Kubiak figures to translate his success into another Super Bowl run this season. Only time will tell what’s in store for Coach Kubiak, but it appears his team is well on its way to becoming a dynasty.
