John Elway should have never put the Denver Broncos in this situation. Everyone but him knew Vance Joseph would not figure it out when he was given a second season. The young coach wouldn’t make the turn toward success Youth Brandon McManus Jersey , no matter the assistant coaches or the quarterback at his disposal. The incompetence Joseph showed in the previous 5-11 season showed this mess wouldn’t get cleaned up. Sign up for FanPulse, our weekly Broncos survey.The latest example of that is the most-recent embarrassment for the Broncos, this time in a humiliating 34-16 loss to the bad New York Jets. Denver is now 2-3 on the season, and have lost three-straight games. The Broncos are also now 1-11 in their last 12 road games, and 1-6 in their last eight in the East Coast. If that isn’t an indictment on the state of the franchise, I don’t know what is. If you think Denver will turn the tide, consider its coming schedule: two of its next three games are at home against the Los Angeles Rams and on the road at the Kansas City Chiefs.The assistant coaches and quarterback have changed, yet the same issues that have plagued the Broncos since Joseph became coach are still present and accounted for. The team is still horrible in situational football, unprepared Youth Bradley Roby Jersey , completely lost and incapable of making adjustments. Even worse, is his team wasn’t motivated and little effort was shown by most against the Jets. Remember when Joseph was billed as a “leader of men” when he was hired? But this isn’t Joseph’s fault. He should have never been put in this situation, let alone allowed to prove it again.As I mentioned after the loss to the Baltimore Ravens, what makes matters worse, or hilarious, is Joseph, apparently, has Football 101 with his team each week. You really cannot make this stuff up.Elway needs to make the move right now. While he’s at, include Denver defensive coordinator Joe Woods. Heck http://www.authentic...-lindsay-jersey , he might as well make the switch at quarterback to Chad Kelly as well. But in the meantime, fire Joseph and end this embarrassment.As for who replaces him — take anyone off the street at this point, they can’t do much worse. John Fox is available. Maybe Dan Reeves? In terms of the permanent solution, Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo needs to be on the short list of names. In terms of Joseph, what more does Elway and the Broncos need to see? In a story by Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, he drops a nugget that many Broncos fans should find very interesting. Breer states that there is some buzz going around NFL circles that Broncos GM John Elway “has taken a special interest” in the college-type offensive concepts that their division rival Kansas City Chiefs have employed this year. Here is Breer’s full quote on the subject from his NFL news piece. Breer goes on to state the obvious and criticize current Head Coach Vance Joseph’s handling of last Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. Joseph is clearly on the hot seat and GM John Elway’s lukewarm’s comments about him didn’t help his case. He told Orange and Blue 760 that“At this point in time, we’re going to stay the course”.The next piece of Breer’s paragraph is the most interesting part. He states that there is some buzz starting circulate in NFL circles that GM John Elway has taken a “special interest in the kinds of college concepts his division rival Chiefs have employed”. If true, this is some big-time news for the Broncos future and potentially lays out some Head Coaching candidates for them.The big one that instantly comes to mind is the man who currently has a hands on role with the Kansas City Chiefs offense. That person being Chiefs Offensive Coordinator, Eric Bieniemy. His offense is currently 3rd in total yards per game(433.4 yards per game) Bradley Chubb Jersey , 3rd is passing yards per game(315.9 yards per game), and tops in the league at scoring with 36.3 points per game. He also has first-year starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes on pace for over 50 touchdowns this season. Now, Bieniemy doesn’t call the plays on game days for the Chiefs, but he certainly plays a key role in the game-planning and so on throughout the week while also being the man in Mahomes ear during the game.Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid has a long list of coordinator’s who have turned into Head Coaches under his tutelage throughout his career, and Bieniemy may be the next. Reid in a recent interview raved about Bieniemy and how he trusts him and has full confidence in his ability.This sounds like the type of coach General Manager John Elway may key in on this offseason if/when they fire current Head Coach Vance Joseph. I mean, who better to bring in than the guy who helps assemble the Chiefs playbook, the weekly game plans, and runs the Chiefs offensive meetings? This move would obviously be a risky one since Bieniemy has no Head Coaching experience, no play calling experience at the NFL level Authentic Brandon McManus Jersey , and only has been an Offensive Coordinator for one year at the NFL level, but he makes sense if Elway goes down this road. What also may help Bieniemy is his ties to Colorado. Since becoming General Manager of the Broncos, John Elway has brought in a good amount of coaches/executives/players who have ties with Elway and/or Colorado/Broncos/surrounding colleges. He was an accomplished running back at Colorado during his college career and had two coaching stints with the college as well. He served as their Running Back’s coach from 2001 through 2002 and was their Offensive Coordinator from 2011 through 2012 before joining the Chiefs offensive staff as a Running Back’s coach. So this would be a popular hire within the city and a familiar name with many Broncos fans as well which is always a plus.Now, Bieniemy isn’t the only potential head coaching candidate to fit this profile but makes the most sense going off Breer’s report. Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley is another interesting name to watch here as well, but he is probably a longshot and potentially a favorite for the Cleveland Browns job. So what do you think Broncos Country? What do you think about Eric Bieniemy potentially being in the running for the Broncos Head Coaching job? Who else do you think would make sense?
