Final Thoughts
The past two seasons have been rebuilding years for the Broncos.
Vance Joseph was hired to galvanize this new era of talent, and has seen mixed results in his first two years as an NFL head coach.
Considering the fact that most of those mixed results have been poor and resulted in more losing than winning, it stands to reason that John Elway will not tolerate what he’s seeing and fire Joseph.
With that being said, Joseph and the Broncos have made necessary strides in 2018 and have shown clear improvmeent in areas of weakness from the year prior. Does that factor in at all? What were John Elway’s expectations for the season?
If Elway didn’t expect the Broncos to compete for the playoffs himself with the roster he constructed, then it would make no sense to fire Joseph unless he simply felt there were better options available.
That could ultimately be the determining factor. It’s possible the Broncos will look at this situation as one where there are upgrades available on the coaching market, and they have to strike while the iron’s hot.
If a guy like John Harbaugh wanted to coach the team, could they pass up on that?
If the alternatives available don’t blow anyone away, perhaps the Broncos will stick it out with Joseph yet again.
