The Broncos have given Vance Joseph the dreaded vote of confidence. On Thursday, Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis backed the second-year head coach when asked about his job security. 
“They know the deal,” Ellis said (Twitter link via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic). “They experienced it last year. They know what needs to be done to fix it and move forward and try to improve and get better, and play some good football for the remaining eleven games. We’re all pulling for and supporting him and we’ll see where it goes.”
The Broncos slipped to 2-3 on the season when they lost 34-16 to the lowly Jets. Things won’t get any easier here, as the Broncos will face the 5-0 Rams on Sunday.
The stats show that the Broncos have improved on offense, but the defense has been woeful, ranking 26th in the league. The Broncos could easily place the blame on Joseph for that, especially since he is a former defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator.
If Joseph were to lose his job in October it would be an extremely quick hook for the 46-year-old. Joseph has spent 21 games as the Broncos’ head coach, but the team has gone 7-14 in that span.
When was the last time the Broncos defense didn’t rank in the top 5 let alone rank in the bottom 8
Start counting the days til Vance is fired. It’s coming.
Hope you are right
2013 is the only other time since 2010 where their defense hasn’t ranked in the top 5 in yards allowed
He will be fired 100 percent if they miss the playoffs.
At this point, it might as well be *when* they miss the playoffs
Why Denver didn’t retain Wade Phillips and hire an offensive minded HC is beyond me. Their defense has gone belly up and their offense is still terrible even with Keenum under center. Any time you’re giving a vote of confidence 5 weeks in it’s a kiss of death.
If it isn’t working, then it isn’t working. Might as well give Joseph the quick hook. There is no draft pick army coming to Denver.
Well yet another dumb move on the Broncos. Just fire this so called coach and move on
