Rick Dennison served 14 seasons as Mike Shanahan's disciple, and now he wants to be his replacement. The Denver Broncos offensive coordinator met with team owner Pat Bowlen yesterday after expressing interest in the position following Shanahan's firing last week.

The Broncos also planned to speak with Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett yesterday and Leslie Frazier, the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, will interview today.

The Broncos have already interviewed Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
