Heimerdinger Free to Join Broncos Staff

New York Jets Offensive Coordinator Mike Heimerdinger was released from his contract yesterday, making him the leading candidate to take over for Gary Kubiak as the Offensive Coordinator of the Broncos. Heimerdinger and Mike Shanahan were roommates at Eastern Illinois and Heimerdinger was a Receivers Coach with the Broncos before leaving to be the Offensive Coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. As successful as he was with the Titans, he had a nightmare season last season with the woeful Jets. While some Jets fans are happy to see him go, the Broncos and Lions see the injury-riddled Jets offensive 2005 season as a Mulligan and look ready to pursue him.
