Broncos want to interview Vance Joseph for DC job

After missing out on Vic Fangio, the Denver Broncos might ask another former head coach to return as a defensive coordinator.

Broncos coach Sean Payton has asked the Arizona Cardinals for permission to interview Vance Joseph for Denver’s DC opening, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Potentially returning to Denver would be a lateral move for Joseph, and it seems to be a possibility given Jonathan Gannon, the Cards’ new head coach, is expected to run Arizona’s defense.

Joseph, 50, served as the Broncos’ head coach from 2017-2018. He struggled as an HC, going 11-21, but the Cardinals’ defense ranked 12th in scoring under Joseph in 2020 and 11th in 2021 before slipping to 31st in 2022.

Denver is seeking a new defensive coordinator after Ejiro Evero left in a lateral move to join the Carolina Panthers. In addition to Joseph, the Broncos have six other known DC candidates, including Mike Zimmer and Rex Ryan.
