Vance Joseph is back coaching with the Denver Broncos four years after he was fired.
New head coach Sean Payton reportedly hired Joseph as the team's new defensive coordinator, according to NFL Network's Peter Schrager. Joseph previously served as the Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator from 2019-2022 under Kliff Kingsbury. New Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon hired former Philadelphia Eagles linebackers coach Nick Rallis as the team's new defensive coordinator, paving the way for Joseph to leave.
It's a bit of a strange homecoming for Joseph, who was hired to be the Broncos' head coach following the departure of Gary Kubiak after the 2016 season.
