Vance frontrunner for Donkeys job
56 replies
FinatikmoderatorOPMiami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is the frontrunner to become the next head coach of the Denver Broncos, according to a report from Alex Marvez of SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Joseph will interview with the Broncos next week, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis. If the Dolphins defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs, the interview will have to take place in Miami. If the Dolphins lose, the Broncos can interview Joseph in Denver.
Joseph, 44, was the team's second choice when they hired Gary Kubiak in 2015, according to Klis. He coached under Kubiak while with the Houston Texans alongside several coaches on Denver's current staff.
Linebackers coach Reggie Herring, defensive line coach Bill Kollar and assistant receivers coach Marc Lubick all coached in Houston while Joseph was the team's defensive backs coach. He was hired as the Dolphins defensive coordinator earlier this year.
Though Denver's head coach gig is Joseph's to lose, according to Marvez, he is not the only candidate for the job. The Broncos will interview Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan on Saturday and Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub sometime this week, according to Klis.
Other candidates that have been linked to Denver include Sean McVay, Anthony Lynn, Teryl Austin, Darrell Bevell, Sean McDermott and David Shaw. As of Tuesday evening, only Joseph, Shanahan and Toub have secured interviews with the team.

btfu149forum_veteranWhile I don't think our defensive problems are all Joseph's fault, I don't see why he is getting considered for a Head Coaching position for any reason other than the Rooney Rule.

I'm very surprised based on how bad this defense is

because teams that have fired their coaches in-season would have quite the advantage

I agree. He hasn't been anything higher that a 1 year coordinator.

There's things beyond being a coordinator that teams look for in head coaches. Personality, communication with players, adaptability, leadership, etc, etc. just to name a few...
1972 Miami Dolphins-The ONLY undefeated team in NFL history!!!
It's kind of selfish, but I really hope he doesn't leave. He's been able to work wonders with injuries (up to the point where nobody could overcome these injuries).
muskrat21forum_veteranso, who are some DC's miami can get?
btfu149forum_veteranOne thing that Joseph I'm assuming is responsible for as a he has a long history as a DB coach is the growth of our DB's. We have seen significant progress from some of our younger corners.
Side note, we love former Bengals DB coaches don't we?

That is because you just look at statistics and do not know the inner workings of coaching.

its all speculation, but if Vance leaves, we're probably staying in house for someone to run the defense.

We're bad because of injuries, not because of Joseph.

Thank you for your very presumptuous response. Joseph has done some good things and I'm sure he's a great leader, but I'd want to see more before making him a head coach.

You are welcome.
You even proved my point with the, "I'm sure he's a great leader".
Just like me, you do not really know the inner workings of the coaching circle.
His name has been up in the air for a head coach position for a few years now. We do not know if he will succeed. Most likely not, because most head coaches fail, however, he has earned his chance. According to people who are in the know.

Rex as DC?????????????????????????
I've actually had that same thought. He knows the AFC. He is, and I doubt we'd find someone do disagree, a great defensive coach.
IF VJ leaves I would hope that Rex is at least in the mix to replace him. However, I've read that they might want to promote from within...
Jt0323moderatorThey may hire Shanahan, because they wont want to wait until after February 5th, to hire a head coach imo
invidsubscriberAs tragic as this may sound on the surface, I believe Matt Burke will be getting the first interview as DC if Joseph gets hired elsewhere.
FinsterNew MemberPersonally, I think this is just speculation on the writers part, based on the connection between Kubiak and VJ.
Tomlin got his job after one year as DC, but he made the D better, going from 19th in scoring to 14th, and going from 21st in yds to 8th, which incl run D going from 19th to 1st.
FinSaneforum_veteranMatt Burke, our LB coach, will be our new DC if Vance leaves.

Don't think McDaniels goes back to Denver as HC.

I would do that, he may not be HC material, but he can do DC, and that is probably where he's headed, back to DC.
I think he'd love a chance at giving it to the Jets and Bills twice a year.
Like him or not, he is the kind of guy that players, especially defensive players, respond to, they like their leaders to have a little grit, spit and rough edges, and he's got all that, lol.
