The parade of wannabe head coaches continues to march through Denver.
The Broncos interviewed Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett yesterday for the head coaching job, but there is no word of how the meeting went.
Rick Dennison, the Broncos offensive coordinator, also met with the team. Leslie Frazier, the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator, will interview today.
The Broncos have already interviewed Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
Garrett currently makes $3 million a season, the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL. He’s paid the same as head coach Wade Phillips. He was aggressively sought out last season after the Cowboys went 13-3 and had a powerful offense, despite losing in the first round of the playoffs. Baltimore and Atlanta both showed strong interest, but ended up hiring head coaches who took both of those teams to the playoffs, and the Ravens are still in the fight.
Garrett told television station KTVT yesterday that he is ready to be an NFL head coach.
“I felt like I was ready to do it last year. I felt it was the best situation for me to stay in Dallas last year and again, I am excited to have the opportunity to speak with the Broncos,” Garrett said.

Sounds like he we be willing to leave this time let him.
Not only did garrett interview with Denver but also it seems he interviewed with Detroit after all. If garrett goes then who do you name as OC?? I’d say let garrett go and hire Shanahan as HC/OC and Demote Phillips to DC. now chances of that happening are….Slim at best
Hey i know this is off topic but we had a hell of a draft all our rookies seemed to contribute pretty darn well
People need to quit bringing up the idea that we can just demote Wade to DC. That does not happen…. you can’t just publicly rip Wade’s nuts off and then tell him to handle the defense.
On a side not it appears that the Cowboys have brought in a new Special Teams Coach, Joe DeCamillis who Wade has worked with in the past.
The fact that Wade has gotten his choice of Special Teams coach points directly to him coming back next year…. Damnit
PAC-MAN JUST GOT CUT BY DALLAS !!!!!!
YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST!!!! on the L HAT
Just read that Garrett is the leading canidate for the Lions job. Sounds like things are coming together. If Garrett gone maybe we will see more different style offense.
You know, I don’t know about you guys, but I have really always looked at Wade as the defensive coordinator, and I think he is a good one. If Garrett takes the job (even if he is the front runner), because he may not take the job anyway, but IF he leaves Dallas, and Jerry brings Shanahan in, do you think that Wade COULD stay and call the defensive plays? Brian Stewart should have already been canned regardless in this BUDDY system, but maybe Jerry is waiting til the season is over to make any moves. I am glad to see that Pac is gone, and I do believe Tank will be as well. As for T.O.?? Only the team knows what is best. If he is a real problem to the team, then I think it would work if he were to go. I would rather see T.O. go than Barber, if all Jerry is looking at is the $$$ for free agent signings this year, and I am sure that is what he is looking at. Canty could be leaving in free agency, and I have heard talk of moving Ratliff outside and bringing in a TRUE 3-4 nosetackle. Not to knock on Ratliff, because he deserves to be on this team for a long time, but if Jerry can get a first or even another 2nd rounder for T.O., Dallas could trade into the first and get Raji. If both Tank and Canty go there is going to be a depth problem on the defensive line, and the team really needs a nose tackle with better size. Keep the speed on the outside, and BIG strength in the middle to collapse the pocket. Raji can bring it, and it would be worth it for T.O., and then draft a WR later, utilize what the offense has currently and pound the rock with the running game. PLUS, if Shanahan does indeed come to Dallas, he will know how to utilize Felix Jones. He has the ability to be split out wide and be in the recieving game when an extra reciever is needed. This team WOULD make it without T.O.
If garrett takes another HC job we should look into making Ray Sherman or new OC. What do you guys think?
