Cardinals Eye Broncos DC Vance Joseph for HC Role
10 Jan
Summary
- Broncos DC Vance Joseph is a serious candidate for Cardinals HC job.
- Joseph previously served as Cardinals defensive coordinator.
- Cardinals' defense declined significantly last season.
The Arizona Cardinals are actively pursuing candidates for their head coach vacancy, with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph reportedly emerging as a strong contender. Joseph previously held the defensive coordinator position with the Cardinals for three seasons, departing at the end of 2022.
His potential return is notable given the stark contrast in defensive performance between the Broncos and Cardinals last season. Denver's defense, under Joseph's guidance, was a top performer, while Arizona's defensive unit experienced a notable regression. Joseph also brings prior head coaching experience from his time with the Broncos.
The Cardinals' search includes multiple other candidates, such as Robert Saleh and Raheem Morris. Owner Michael Bidwill has expressed frustration with the team's performance and is eager to find a coach who can bring about a turnaround, drawing parallels to other franchises that have quickly improved under new leadership.
