Broncos fire head coach Vance Joseph after two seasons

Following back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1972, the Denver Broncos have fired head coach Vance Joseph.

In a statement, General Manager John Elway said he spoke Monday morning with Joseph, an Archbishop Shaw alum, and thanked him for his work as head coach.

“Although we decided to make this change, I believe Vance is a good football coach who has a bright future in this league,” he said. “Vance made a lot of strides and deserves credit for how hard and competitively the team played this season. There’s always going to be a high standard here. The bottom line is we need to win more football games. We’re excited about the foundation that’s being built and look forward to putting in the work to get he Broncos back on the winning track.”

The Marrero native who led Shaw to state football and basketball titles finished with an 11-21 record in Denver.
