There are many candidates and six NFL teams looking for a new coach.

Only one of those teams, though, can offer those candidates a team coming off a three-year run of 13-3, 13-3 and 12-4 records.

The Broncos are that team looking to replace coach John Fox. Early candidates on the Broncos’ list, according to two NFL sources: Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, Ravens’ quarterbacks coach Rick Dennison, Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

The Broncos also are considering their own offensive coordinator Adam Gase and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio if they don’t land head coaching jobs in San Francisco and Oakland, respectively.

Broncos general manager John Elway is in the early stages of comprising his list of candidates and others might be added.

Kubiak and Dennison are both former Broncos players and offensive coordinators. They spent Tuesday working at the Ravens’ coaching offices, where they will be until they head to the Pro Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., where they will replace the Broncos’ coaching staff .

Kubiak sent out a statement last week saying that while he was flattered by head coaching overtures from other teams, he wanted to continue to serve as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator in 2015.

Nevertheless, Elway wants to talk to Kubiak to see if the Broncos’ job would be an exception. Dennison finished second to Fox in the Broncos’ head coaching search in 2011.

Austin has been generating impressive reviews as he has hit the head coaching interview circuit. Quinn is the hottest head coaching candidate, although if the Seahawks advance to the Super Bowl, the Broncos would have to wait another three weeks to hire him.
