Vance Joseph's Coaching Staff

It has been about three weeks since the Broncos hired Vance Joseph as their new head coach, and he did not waste too much time trying to fill out his coaching staff. It is no secret how important a coaching staff is for a new coach, and since Joseph won't be calling plays on either side of the ball, this staff will have a lot of responsibility, and they will be vital to the success of the Broncos in Year One of the Joseph era. Before I go through the staff, let me say that I was upset that Wade Phillips departed and left to become the new Defensive Coordinator for the Rams. You can't understate the job that Wade did with the defense the past two seasons. When he replaced Jack Del Rio as the DC in 2015, you immediately saw the impact that he made. He took a very good defense and made it a great defense and won a Super Bowl with that defense playing at a high level. Wade Phillips coordinated a defense that will be compared with the 70s Steelers, '85 Bears, and the 2000 Ravens as one of the greatest defenses in the Super Bowl era. Hats off to Wade and he will always be remembered as a Bronco-largely for what he did the last two years and for what he did for this franchise in the late 80s as well.
