Keeler: Ex-Broncos QB Jake Plummer’s answer for Denver’s coaching blues? Sean Payton. Draft picks and all. “He’d be a great fit.”

Jake Plummer swears he’s not one of those “mystery candidates” for the Broncos coaching job. But wouldn’t that be a trip?

“I mean, if they hired me as the head coach,” the former Broncos quarterback laughed as we huddled over the phone Monday, “we’d be redefining the entire position.”

At the start of the work week, said position — at least on a full-time basis, love ya, Jerry Rosburg — had been vacant for 36 days. Vacuums bring out the weird in us, and Broncos Country’s gone from embracing candidates to measuring conspiracy theories.
