Broncos safety Kareem Jackson endorses DeMeco Ryans to Denver7 as a head coach, calling him a 'smart, great leader.' Read more from Broncos Insider TroyRenck:
Denver has cooled on Sean Payton, whose candidacy has been marked by drama and leaks to the media, and Dan Quinn announced Thursday that he will remain as the Cowboys defensive coordinator to take care of"unfinished business."
Ryans, 38, brings risk as a first-time head coach. The Broncos last three bosses — Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio and Nathaniel Hackett — fielded this resume and failed miserably, compiling a 35-63 record. And Ryans would have to create an offensive identity — perhaps by bringing back Gary Kubiak, who coached Ryans in Houston, or someone from the West Coast offensive tree.
What would make Ryans different? I reached out to Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, who played one season with Ryans in Houston. Ryans coaches with emotion. Throw on the 49ers highlights and he's invested with his players, often celebrating on the sidelines. He addressed his style during his presser before the NFC title game.
