John Elway was hopeful he could get one of those “bright young guys” as the Broncos’ next head coach — one who could revamp the offense, improve an already elite defense and be the leader the team needed to get back to the playoffs.
The hints were dropped, the checklist made and, on Wednesday, the deal reached: Vance Joseph will be the Broncos’ next head coach, taking over for Gary Kubiak.
It's official.

When Kubiak resigned last week, Joseph’s name immediately surfaced as a leading candidate.
