ENGLEWOOD, Colo.-Two down and one to go for John Elway in his search for Gary Kubiak's successor.
The Denver Broncos general manager tweeted Saturday that he "spent the morning with Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta. He's very bright coach who's had a tremendous year and has a great future."
The question is: Will that future be in Denver, where his father, Mike Shanahan, was the Broncos coach from 1998-2008?
Elway and his small search committee met with Shanahan, the 37-year-old Falcons offensive coordinator, a day after interviewing Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub , 54, in Kansas City.
Elway is searching for a coach after Kubiak's resignation Monday over health concerns a year after leading Denver to a Super Bowl trophy.
Shanahan, who runs the same West Coast offense that Kubiak did in Denver but with some twists and a deeper roster, has also drawn interest from the Rams, 49ers and Jaguars for their head coaching vacancies.
Next up on Denver's docket is Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph , 44, whose wild-card team plays at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Depending on the outcome of that game, Joseph's interview will either be in Miami or Denver next week.
