Broncos fans, it looks like the organization have found their new coach to lead the franchise into the 2017 season.
According to Mike Klis of 9 News and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Broncos general manager John Elway has signed the former Dolphins' defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, to a 4 year deal early Wednesday afternoon to become Denver's new coach.
Elway and the Broncos organization are moving forward after a four-hour interview on Tuesday evening that carried over into dinner at Elway’s Cherry Creek restaurant. Joseph was scheduled to interview with the San Diego Chargers on Wednesday and the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday but those plans have clearly changed after being offered to be the Broncos new coach.
Joseph, 44, had been widely considered the favorite to replace Gary Kubiak. According to reports, he's likely to bring in Oakland Raiders Bill Musgrave and former Charger's head coach and Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy in for interviews tomorrow to become the man to run offense. Joseph also plans to promote Broncos defensive backs coach Joe Woods to defensive coordinator, leaving Wade Phillips, a fan favorite, future in doubt.
Denver completed interviews with their top three candidates -- Joseph, Kyle Shanahan and Dave Toub and was obviously most impressed with Joseph. Not even giving other teams an opportunity to interview the highly regarded coach.
