Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has received some interest around the NFL for several head coaching vacancies. Will he return as the Broncos defensive coordinator or land himself a head coaching gig?
Denver Broncos DC Vance Joseph set to interview for Raiders’ HC job
Last week, the New York Jets submitted a request to interview Vance Joseph for their vacancy at head coach. That’s not the only job he received interest from, as Denver’s AFC West rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, submitted a request to interview him for their current vacancy, as first reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Joseph’s defense in Denver was a top-five unit this season in a handful of categories.
2nd in Net Yards Per Play allowed with 4.93. 2nd in Points Allowed Per Game with 18.3. 3rd in Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game with 96.4. 1st in Sacks with 63, setting a franchise record. 3rd in Red Zone defense with 46.9%.Cornerback Patrick Surtain II, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, and defensive end Zach Allen all received AP All-Pro honors last week. Surtain is the odds-on-betting favorite to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, which would be another prestigious accolade to add to his resume.
Denver’s defense took a drastic step forward in 2024 with Joseph despite the team’s struggles on that side of the ball for the last month and a half. Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones highlighted what Joseph has meant to the team.
“He’s ‘VJ,'” Jones said. “You have to be around ‘VJ’ to understand who he is. He’s a leader, obviously. He’s resilient, a great teacher and is patient. Whoever would [hire] him would be getting a special guy.”
With a handful of openings around the NFL, Joseph will be one of the many candidates in consideration for several head coaching jobs. If he doesn’t land a gig, the expectation is that he would return as the team’s DC in 2025.
