Gary Kubiak to remain Ravens OC

[den-the-coach]

GS MILLS, Md. -- Gary Kubiak will not interview for any head coaching openings and will remain the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator in 2015.

The New York Jets had requested permission to talk to Kubiak earlier this month, and the Chicago Bears were expected to pursue him.

"It is flattering and humbling to be invited to interview for a number of NFL head coaching positions, and I greatly appreciate these opportunities," Kubiak said in a statement released by the team. "But I have decided to stay with the Ravens."

Kubiak led the Ravens to their highest offensive ranking in 17 years, so it's not a surprise that a team would be interested in him to be its next head coach. Under Kubiak, the Ravens finished No. 12 in offense and set a franchise record for points scored in a season (409). "This is a special organization and we, like [Head] Coach [John] Harbaugh says, are building something great," Kubiak said. "I want to be a part of that and contribute in whatever ways I can."

Kubiak's statement came one day after the Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs, a 35-31 loss at the New England Patriots.

Now Gentlemen before all of you get all sentimental on me and post that it refreshing to see a guy stay on, Kubiak is flat out nuts. He's got some great opportunities and who knows maybe he thinks he might have a chance at the Bronco job and is pushing away the likes of the Lions, Tigers and Bears, but oh my goodness I am shocked at this and I know he had some health problems before and that could be factoring in, but IMO, the Bear job was his to lose.

Maybe now, Rick Dennision will move on and be someone's offensive coordinator.

Some guys just like their current situation.

First thing that went through my mind was health, wouldn't be surprised if that's why he's staying put...
