Broncos Coaches on the Move: A Playoff Exodus?

The Denver Broncos, enjoying the benefits of a No. 1 playoff seed, are also navigating a significant coaching staff turnover. Several assistants are actively interviewing for head coaching and coordinator positions across the league. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, whose defense ranked among the league's best in multiple categories, is a leading candidate for head coach roles.

Head Coach Sean Payton views this as a testament to his staff's success and is encouraging them to pursue their career aspirations. However, he also stresses the need for the team to remain focused on their playoff objectives, which include reaching the Super Bowl scheduled for February 8, 2026.

Despite the potential distractions, the Broncos are preparing for their divisional-round game, emphasizing "good on good" practices. Payton aims to make the most of their remaining month together as a team, urging them to sharpen their performance for the demanding playoff games ahead.
