ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- He was the dream guy for the his dream job. When Gary Kubiak stepped to the podium on Jan. 20, 2015, to become the Denver Broncos coach he said “when I got off the plane, I knew that I was home.”
Both John Elway, as the former teammate who hired Kubiak, and Kubiak himself believed was going to be a long and prosperous return. Instead, Kubiak is expected to step down as Broncos coach after Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders after two seasons.
Kubiak is 20-11 in the regular season with the Broncos to go with the playoff run in 2015 that ended with a Super Bowl win over the Carolina Panthers.
