Kubiak to be named HC of Broncos

I can't attach the link because it's in my Yahoo app. Per SB nation:
Kubiak was John Elway's backup during his playing career with the Broncos.
Gary Kubiak is expected to be named the head coach of the Denver Broncos, despite previously insisting he would stay with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a report from ___.
Kubiak, 53, served only one season as the offensive coordinator for the Ravens after eight seasons as the head coach of the Houston Texans. He has a lengthy history with the Broncos though, and was the team's offensive coordinator for 11 seasons from 1995-2005. Kubiak also played quarterback for the Broncos for nine seasons as John Elway's backup, starting just five games for the team.
The reunion with Elway was evidently too much to pass up on for Kubiak, who released a statement telling reporters that he intended to stay as the offensive coordinator of the Ravens.
"This is a special organization and we, like [head] coach [John] Harbaugh says, are building something great. I want to be a part of that and contribute in whatever ways I can."
Kubiak was considered a candidate for the vacant head coaching jobs of the Chicago Bears and New York Jets at that time, but John Fox was still in place as the head coach of the Broncos at that time. Fox was let go by the team a few hours after Kubiak released his statement.
The Texans compiled a 61-64 record in Kubiak's time with the team and a 2-2 record in the postseason.
