Tracking all the Denver Broncos coaching news and rumors

While the Denver Broncos will not be looking for a new Head Coach this offseason (thank you, Sean Payton), multiple coaches on their current staff will be candidates for jobs elsewhere during this hiring cycle.

The biggest name we will be tracking is defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. He returned to the Broncos three seasons ago, and after a rough start early on, has turned this Broncos defense into one of the best units in the NFL over the past two seasons. His defense will lead the NFL in sacks for a second straight year, and Joseph figures to be a top head coaching candidate this offseason.

Another name to keep an eye on is Davis Webb, who is the Broncos’ current offensive pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach. He has been a big part of quarterback Bo Nix’s development and is viewed as one of the top up-and-coming coaches in the NFL. He is a dark-horse head coaching candidate and a strong candidate to be an offensive coordinator elsewhere next season.

While assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard is viewed as the top in-house candidate to replace Vance Joseph if he gets a head coaching job elsewhere, he will likely receive attention from other teams as well. If Joseph does not receive one of the available head coaching jobs, I would imagine teams will be looking to interview Leonhard to be their defensive coordinator.

While those three are the notable names, Sean Payton’s staff saw several assistant and positional coaches receive promotions elsewhere last season. With the Broncos’ success and track record, I would anticipate that being the same once again this offseason.

We will be tracking all the Broncos coaching news and rumors here throughout the offseason, and will keep you updated on all the Broncos coaching moves right here during the offseason.
