Vance Joseph’s Status with Broncos Updated; Includes Davis Webb News
As the NFL coaching carousel continues to spin, the status of Vance Joseph with the Denver Broncos appears increasingly stable. Recent developments indicate that he may not secure a head coach position with any of the remaining teams.
Vance Joseph’s HC Opportunities Dwindle
Currently, four teams—Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, and Buffalo Bills—are still seeking head coaches. However, Vance Joseph, the Broncos’ defensive coordinator, is not favored for any of these openings.
- Joseph had initial interviews with the Raiders and Cardinals but has not received news of second-round interviews.
- No reports suggest that Cleveland or Buffalo is pursuing Joseph following Denver’s playoff exit.
- Arizona seems to be leaning towards hiring a coach with an offensive background, making Joseph’s candidacy less likely.
- The Raiders are looking for quarterback-friendly coaches, particularly vital since they hold the No. 1 pick in the draft.
Davis Webb’s Interview Success
In contrast to Joseph’s uncertain future, Broncos offensive pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb is actively pursuing head coaching roles. The Buffalo Bills recently announced the completion of their initial interview with Webb.
- Webb also participated in an in-person interview with the Raiders on the evening following his Bills interview.
- Prior to these meetings, he conducted a virtual interview with the Raiders while the Broncos were still in the postseason.
Current Status
At present, it seems likely that Vance Joseph will continue as the defensive coordinator for the Broncos. Meanwhile, Davis Webb is a candidate for at least two of the NFL’s four head coach openings, making his situation more promising.
