If Joseph leaves for a head-coaching gig elsewhere, the Broncos will receive two third-round compensatory draft picks from the NFL. The expectation is that secondary coach Jim Leonhard would take over as defensive coordinator in the event of Joseph departing.

After this post was published, Josina Anderson reported that Vance Joseph is scheduled to interview with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Add them to the growing list. See our original post below.

The Broncos defensive coordinator is expected to interview virtually with the Giants, Ravens and Raiders, according to NFL Network, as he takes a day away from game preparation during a bye week in the AFC playoffs. Joseph, 53, spent two seasons as the Broncos head coach (2017-18) and compiled an 11-21 record.

Defensive coordinators don’t often get second chances to be head coaches, but the Broncos’ mastermind is deserving of the opportunity.

After firing Brian Callahan during the season, Tennessee is moving quickly following the conclusion of their 2025 season. The Titans have requested an interview with Joseph, as first reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, plus four other coaches so far. Joseph is available for virtual Zoom interviews during Denver's playoff bye.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is slated to meet with the team on Thursday. Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s interview is set for Friday.

The Denver Broncos were given several days off following their No. 1 seed-clinching victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. They’ll return to practice later this week for some intrasquad work before finding out their divisional round opponent this weekend and then diving into game-planning preparation.
