After a few days of uncertainty, it appears Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak will listen to what the Denver Broncos have to say.
Kubiak is expected to interview with the Broncos for their head coaching vacancy this weekend, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. Despite publicly stating his intentions to remain with the Ravens before the Broncos parted ways with head coach John Fox on Monday, Kubiak spent 20 years in the Denver organization as a player and assistant coach, making it unsurprising that he would at least discuss the opening with general manager John Elway.
Kubiak is considered the clear favorite for the job if he wants it.
In other news, ESPN reports that Detroit Lions defensive coordinator and former Ravens secondary coach Teryl Austin has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Denver job. Austin was originally scheduled to interview Friday, but he has also been linked to the Atlanta Falcons head job.
Should Kubiak take the Broncos job, it will be interesting to see how much the Ravens press to keep quarterbacks coach Rick Dennison and tight ends coach Brian Pariani. Many assume Dennison would depart to become Kubiak’s offensive coordinator in Denver, but the Ravens could try to entice him with a promotion to remain with the organization after working well with quarterback Joe Flacco.
Dennison has previous experience as the offensive coordinator under Kubiak in Houston and has also coached special teams and the offensive line, making him a suitable replacement if the Ravens can persuade him to stay.
