The Denver Broncos have chosen Vance Joseph, the Defensive Coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, as the New Broncos Head Coach.
General Manager John Elway made the announcement for the New Broncos Head Coach Wednesday afternoon through a Twitter post. https://twitter.com/johnelway/status/819268615564382215 As is usual, this pick raises more questions than answers, especially among the Bronco faithful. What is the plan to revamp the Broncos’ struggling offense? What does this mean for Broncos Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips? Who will be the Broncos Quarterback next year given this coaching change? As usual, Broncos fans on Twitter did not hesitate to share their opinions about the Broncos GM's latest coaching hire. Some fans were less optimistic than others…We all do, Brandon. We all do.@johnelway I hope you know what you're doing John because on paper it doesn't make sense

If we're going to be honest, Elway's biggest mistakes probably came during Super Bowls XXII and XXIV... One Twitter troll took the time to ask John Elway, the GM, to disclose his source for this breaking news and like clockwork, this obvious sarcasm went above a few people’s heads…@johnelway biggest mistake you've ever made

Some people took the news harder than others and went to the extreme.@FalcoholicMatt @johnelway Hi...Himself?

Elway’s decision to name Vance Joseph the Head Coach made some Twitter users sick to their stomachs…@alemaria401 @johnelway that seems a little extreme...

Others chose to compare the hiring to the Titanic striking an iceberg and sinking. A little over the top, but point made.@johnelway pic.twitter.com/NrcMQeKhcE

Not everyone was a Debbie-Downer. Many people congratulated Joseph on the decision and were cautiously optimistic.@johnelway pic.twitter.com/VXg3fkjU2c

Even Miami fans chimed in saying they will miss Joseph…@johnelway How do any of you question Elway at this point. Responsible for 3 Championships and has the best interest of Broncos and Bowlen

We’ll know a lot more in the coming days and weeks about what the 2017 Denver Broncos will look like, but it is official: Vance Joseph will be the new Denver Broncos Head Coach. Six months until training camp…@johnelway @NFL he will make an awesome HC, just be patient. Going to miss him in Mia. Best of luck!
