[dt_divider style=”thick” /]With coaching staffs complete, we can take a look at those coaches who will be on the outside looking in this year. Their recent increase in free time does not indicate that they are poor coaches, as Wade Phillips can attest, but simply when the dust settled, these guys were left holding a golf bag or fishing pole.
In honor of their careers, we wanted to highlight a few coaches that could be back on a sideline near you, very soon.
*Coaches chosen were on an NFL staff during either the 2015 or 2016 seasons
[dt_divider style=”thick” /]Head Coach – Gary Kubiak*
Watching Kubiak’s emotional retirement press conference is something everyone should experience at least once, and while Gary may never return to the sidelines, his contributions to the game are deserving of this role. Kubiak appeared in seven total Super Bowls as a player and / or coach, winning three as an assistant with the Broncosand 49ers, and Super Bowl 50 as the head coach in Denver. He retired with an 82-75 career record and five postseason victories as a head coach.
