How come the Kubiak that Dreesen is describing doesn't sound at all like the Kubiak we watched in Houston? I believe the shorter practices part, though. That's how teams show up unprepared.
I know Kubes is a local favorite and most people think he's a great guy. He was Elway's roomie (some would say caddie) for over a decade but I don't forsee him having success in Denver for the same reasons he eventually had to go in Houston. He only knows one system and that system peaked in 1998. The rest of the NFL has caught on to it.
And he can't be of any value on defense. Denver would need to find the perfect DC which was Shanahan's achilles heel. How many great DCs with no head coaching asperations can you find now that Dick LeBeau is retiring?
In the end, I think he gets the job, lasts five years and will never get past the first round of the playoffs.

You love the idea of his system being passed up schematically.
I am pretty sure I just saw his system carve up the Patriots in Foxboro. I also know his system resulted in career years for basically everyone on the Baltimore offense (except Smith Sr.).
His offense is fine. It is not on the top 10 list of reasons why he failed in Houston.
