Many fans were surprised the Denver Broncos would even consider hiring Vance Joseph as their defensive coordinator after firing him as their head coach after the 2018 season. The frustration of those two seasons were still relatively fresh even four years later, but those same fans forgot something. Wade Phillips once had two disappointing seasons as a Broncos’ head coach and was fired for Mike Shanahan in 1995.
Phillips made sure to mention that to Joseph when he was re-hired earlier this year.
