Broncos hire Vance Joseph as new defensive coordinator

Vance Joseph is heading back to Denver. This time around, though, it won't be as head coach. Nope, it was announced that Sean Payton has hired the veteran coach to be his new defensive coordinator with the Broncos.

This is a big-time get for Payton, who has been busy making some great moves since he joined Denver. After some great work with the Cardinals, Joseph will be in the AFC West once again.

Former Broncos’ head coach Vance Joseph is returning to Denver as the team’s new defensive coordinator, as @PSchrags also reported. He will run the Broncos defense for HC Sean Payton.

After a nightmare year for the Broncos in 2022, which led to Nathaniel Hackett being fired, Payton has already brought in some needed excitement for the fanbase. They love the hire of Joseph to run the defense.
