12:03pm: Vance Joseph 's second Broncos stint has boosted his stock, and after seven years back on the coordinator level, the former head coach is poised to become a strong candidate for a second-chance opportunity. Several teams will meet with the Denver DC about HC vacancies. The Cardinals, Giants, Raiders and Titans will huddle up with Joseph, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Because the Broncos secured the AFC's bye slot, Joseph can discuss HC jobs with teams beginning Wednesday of this week. The interviews must be virtual, but Joseph will conduct them all this week.
Joseph himself is well traveled, having cut his teeth under three different former Cowboys coaches: Mike Nolan, Wade Phillips, and Mike Zimmer over the years. Watching the way he calls a defense, it's easy to find influences of all three coaches, too. That is to say Joseph runs a varied scheme that incorporates a wide array of looks both pre- and post-snap.
