Coaching Moves in Denver

Last week, Rick Dennison left Denver to become the Offensive Coordinator in Houston and join his old pal, Gary Kubiak. Running Backs coach Bobby Turner left to become Associate Head Coach with Mike Shanahan in Washington. Both moves were not surprising. Monday it was annoucned that Denver and Mike Nolan had parted ways mutually. It seems that the Miami Dolphins had expressed interest in Nolan, and Josh McDaniels wasn't willing to give them permission to talk to him. After some discussion internally, McDaniels and Nolan parted ways leaving Nolan the opportunity to become the Defensive Coordinator in Miami- a position which he accepted on Tuesday. I wouldn't look too much into the situation. McDaniels is looking for new Defensive Coordinator. The front-runner is Dean Pees, formerly the DC of the Patriots. McD and Pees worked with each other in New England for a number of years. Stay tuned to see where all the chips will fall in the coaching puzzle.
