January 19, 2015 – Broncos hire Gary Kubiak as 15th head coach
John Fox may not have been the only one testing the waters before the 2014 season had come to a conclusion. Eight days after the Broncos had been eliminated from the playoffs again without a title, John Elway announced the hiring of his former backup quarterback and coach, Gary Kubiak. The former Broncos assistant, Texans head coach and Ravens offensive coordinator became the 15th head coach in franchise history, and he arrived with no shortage of expectations. “Gary knows what it will take to deliver another world championship to Broncos fans,” Elway said of his longtime friend and counterpart. Kubiak met the team and the media the next day.
