ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Peyton Manning confirmed last week he plans to return to Denver in 2015. It might just be without the man whos in his earhole every Sunday.With Black Monday came word that the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons want to speak with Adam Gase, the Broncos 36-year-old offensive co-ordinator, about their head coaching vacancies.The Broncos (12-4) will allow Gase to interview with those teams and any other suitors in Denver later this week. Players have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off after earning a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.Weve been through this many times, said coach John Fox, who lost co-ordinators Dennis Allen to the Raiders and Mike McCoy to the Chargers in recent years. Itll be done in a way that theyve got to come here. And it wont bother our coaches as far as their prep, and all their focus is on what were trying to accomplish. During the bye week, I think its an opportune time to do those things.Gase was pursued last year, too, but he rejected overtures from the Cleveland Browns in part because he wanted to devote his full attention to the Broncos Super Bowl quest.Gase has proven adept at handling quarterbacks as varied as Manning and Tim Tebow, whom he got eight wins out of back in 2011, including a stunning playoff victory over Pittsburgh.After Denver scored an NFL-record 606 points last season, Gases unit has become as much run-oriented behind C.J. Anderson, the first undrafted running back to score seven TDs in a month since Priest Holmes in 2004, as Manning-oriented.The Broncos tied for the leagues best record for the third consecutive season with Manning as their QB, and their 30.1-point scoring average trailed only Green Bays 30.4.Gases troops are more than happy to give testimonials on his behalf.I think hes used the knowledge of the coaches that hes worked with, you know, the offensive coaches especially, and the Nick Sabans that have been instrumental in some of his coaching philosophies, Manning said recently. Hes used those to apply to his coaching style and its helped him a lot.Hes a coach that you want to play hard for, backup QB Brock Osweiler said Monday. He treats you with respect. He makes it fun coming to work and hes brilliant at what he does. I hope were able to keep him here.Wide receiver Bubba Caldwell said it would be bittersweet to lose Gase.Im happy for him getting interest and the potential to make more money and get a better position in the league, Caldwell said. But Im bitter because hed be leaving us.Caldwell said Gase certainly has the chops for a head coaching gig, though.Hes a good guy. He knows the game up and down, back and forth, Caldwell said. Hes a great football mind. Hes studied under a lot of great coaches like Mike Martz. And hes a people person. He knows how to interact with his players and he knows how to get the best out of them.Denver defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rios name might also come up in coaching searches — a signature performance in the playoffs would certainly burnish his credentials.Del Rio went 69-72 in 8 1/2 seasons as Jacksonvilles head coach from 2003-11, a mark that looks better and better as the Jaguars have gone 11-42 since his firing. Del Rio also guided Denver to a 3-1 record last year after Fox underwent heart surgery.Nose tackle Terrance Knighton said he wouldnt be surprised to see Denver lose both co-ordinators. After all, the Broncos finished fourth in the NFL in offence and third in defence.Youve got two great co-ordinators who have had a lot of success. Eventually, theyre going to get their shot, Knighton said. Specifically, Coach Del Rio, a guy who drafted me as a head coach, hes definitely still a head coach in my mind. And I feel like we have two head coaches on the staff with him and Coach Fox. So, Im pretty sure theyre high on a lot of peoples lists because of the success they had.Like Manning, Knighton is on record saying he wants to return to Denver in 2015. Yet, when asked Monday if he was torn in wanting Del Rio to get another head coaching job and preferring he stuck around Denver, Knighton smiled.I want to be wherever Jack is, he said. Ill just leave it at that.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Nike Air Max Plus Australia .
