As the Broncos prepare for their first playoff game since the 2015 season, their defensive coordinator has emerged as a candidate for at least one head coach opening over the last week.
Such is the price of success in the NFL.
Vance Joseph helped turn around a Denver defense that was among the bottom third in the league a year ago, and now other franchises could soon try to pry him away.
While Joseph reiterated his desire to be a head coach again when talking to reporters Thursday after practice, he also made sure to emphasize the importance of Sunday’s wild-card matchup at Buffalo.
