Vance Joseph will be the Denver Broncos 16th head coach in franchise history marking a new era in Broncos football. However, in the excitement of the announcement, it’s clear that many are wondering what Joseph will bring to the table as a head coach outside of the constant “leader of men” statements.
Joseph’s NFL coaching tree has strong roots and is influenced from two of the league’s best defensive minds, Mike Nolan and Wade Phillips, two coaches who have had infinite success in the NFL—not to mention some extremely successful stints in Denver. Nolan and Phillips both run a 3-4 defense, Joseph’s preferred scheme as well.
