Mike Mularkey HIGH on Broncos Head Coaching List

[Tribal Chief]

It doesn't matter who they get, they are gonna need a miracle to turn that team around. McDaniels has ruined that franchise

[Falconfan08.02]

i wouldnt say a miracle since we were in MUCH worst position in 07 and were already superbowl contenders

[freakyfalcon]

If he is gone, what about Josh McDaniel as OC?

[xxstealth]

audios, mike mularkey...

[The Chunk]

Who cares if he goes? Just leave Matt Ryan in the no huddle and there is no need for an OC!

[Dharma Initiative]

can i ask you why you want him to go when were top 10 in almost all offensive statistic categories?? and what could a new OC (most likely Musgrove) can do that hes not doing.

It's funny how easy we go down the field when Ryan makes the playcalls compared to when Mularky is. I say get a basic coordinator that helps with practice and let Ryan do most of the playcalling like Manning does.

I'm on board for that.

[RHEC]

I see Billick being the next OC than I would Musgrave.

[DirtyBirdSupabowl]

He's been doing a great job lately but it comes with the territory OC's are always going to leave if they get a HC job. I think Musgrace will benefit Ryan the most because he spends the most time with him.

Musgrave was given the title of ***'t head coach to keep him from leaving for anything but a head coach job. TD was anticipating MM leaving for a head coach job.

Falcons are number 6 in scoring this year, could move up to 5 by the end of the day. Hard to see what more Mularkey could do.

[Chitown2ATL_Falcon]

I'd feel pretty comfortable with Musgrave taking over as OC.

Me too. I think Musgrave is ready if Mularkey goes.

[cannonballsghost]

Everyone wants MM gone ..........but I can tell you this MM is a good one and is bringing Ryan along slowly in some phases........I'm looking for more trick plays from our off before the season is over

[Chitown2ATL_Falcon]

If he is gone, what about Josh McDaniel as OC?

Now that might be an option, since Dimitroff knows him from his New England days. Also he's a better OC than head coach. Don't think he's head coach material, but OC, yes.

[Falconfan08.02]

I like McDaniel n all however i dont think Mike Smith with want to change outta the system. maybe if he cant find a oc job offer him a qb job and mature under smith.

[FalconState]

hopefully he stays with us but if it happens he deserves it

[RHEC]

Its going to come down to Musgrave and Billick imo, that's if Murk leaves.

[The Monarch]

I think TD would nix any Billick talk. Even with his ties to Smitty, the guy hasn't coached a competent NFL offense in over a decade. I just don't think TD would entrust his core of players to someone like that.

He hasn't been a coach since 2007, where do you a decade?

I said he hasn't coached a competent NFL offense in over a decade.

[RHEC]

I said he hasn't coached a competent NFL offense in over a decade.

That doesn't rule out he wouldn't be the next OC, that's if he wanted to coach again.

[cyofish]

I just don't want Ryan and company to have to learn a new offense and all. Otherwise I'd be happy Mularky was gone

Agreed. If Mularky goes the chances are the team will promote from within or at the most get an outside candidate with the same philosophy. Continuity is more important for future success.

I think explosiveness and excitement down the road when the team masters the offense. They are real close but sometimes the 2nd and 3rd receivers are not on the same page as Matt. It's like riding a bike, learn how to do it well before attempting stunts.

[RHEC]

What if Musgrave becomes a head coach after this season, what now?

[The Monarch]

That doesn't rule out he wouldn't be the next OC, that's if he wanted to coach again.

I just don't think TD would turn the offense over to a guy who: 1) is bringing in a new system; 2) hasn't shown the capability of putting together a good offense in over a decade in a sport that's constantly evolving, and; 3) was a long time head coach that despite his relationship with Smitty may have issues being a subordinate coordinator.

Nothing is impossible, I just think it's highly unlikely.

[RockPaperScissors]

I've been as frustrated as anyone with Mularkey's baffling playcalls (poorly timed trick plays and running Turner singleback to the outside) and conservative run-run-pass crap, but I don't like the idea of switching to a new system at this point. Look at Jason Campbell's entire career since college. Consistency breeds success.

If we aren't the best team in the entire NFL right now, we're only a player or two away. Not a coach or two away.

[Karst41]

This thread is crazy.

Let me point out a couple of things.

RYAN CANT CALL HIS OWN PLAYS. He is just not there yet.

Look to the Right Matty Ice, do you see the 5 defenders stacking the line?

Er Um ummm ummm NO.

Ryan is still Green and a tad wet behind the ears.

He needs a couple more years in the NFL before he starts installing the Game Plan.

Secondly

Musgrave is his Coach.

You will not get an Improved system with this guy Period.

Thirdly

A decent OC designs the plays based on the the players ability or lack of.

This keeps the Horse Before the Cart. DUHHHH !

Lastly

I dont care either way if Mularkey takes a HC job or not, he is predictable.

Thats going to bite us on the Hiney soon enough.
