re: Why did Denbrock and Kelly separate, and why are they reuniting?

So he was demoted for something out of his control? Seems like bad management

It seems like the first change in title was made to bring in Sanford to freshen up the offense. Denbrock sacrificed the title for the good of the team, but maintained play calling duties.

The second time Kelly realized he needed to make changes all around to turn the program around. Denbrock wasn’t the only casualty of that change. In the end, it worked out for Kelly and for Denbrock. Some might see it as cold-blooded, but Kelly showed he could do what Miles was unwilling to do. He adjusted his philosophy AND put the needs of the program above friendship. If Kelly does bring in Denbrock that should give us confidence that he isn’t just picking his buddy, but is bringing in who he genuinely feels is the best candidate for the job.
