"Joseph has been a defensive coach in the NFL since 2005, starting with the San Francisco 49ers as an assistant defensive backs coach. His first coordinator gig came in 2016 with the Miami Dolphins. Joseph has had one stint as a head coach with his current team, the Denver Broncos, from 2017 to 2018. During this short tenure, Joseph's Broncos finished in fourth and third place in the AFC West division, going 5-11 and 6-10, respectively."
"Joseph's defenses weren't elite during this time, but they were far from being the team's biggest problem, and many feel it wasn't an easy situation to succeed in. He was the first coach to follow up the Super Bowl-winning staff led by Gary Kubiak and quarterbacked by Peyton Manning. Afterwards, Joseph returned to a defensive coordinator role and has continued to succeed in it. His Broncos defense gets after the quarterback and has been considered a top-5 unit over the past two years."
The Atlanta Falcons have requested to interview Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for their head coaching vacancy. Joseph began NFL defensive coaching in 2005 with the San Francisco 49ers as an assistant defensive backs coach. His first coordinator job came in 2016 with the Miami Dolphins. Joseph served as Denver Broncos head coach from 2017–2018, finishing 5–11 and 6–10 while starting quarterbacks Trevor Siemian and Case Keenum. His defenses during that head coaching stint were not elite but not the team's primary issue. Joseph returned to defensive coordinator roles and helped produce a top-5, pressure-oriented Broncos defense over the past two years. He is respected leaguewide and viewed as deserving of interview opportunities for head-coach openings.
