It was done for the Broncos in the playoffs. And come Monday, the Raiders wasted no time in reaching out to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for an interview for their open head coaching position.
According to sources, the Raiders have requested an interview with Broncos DC Vance Joseph for their HC opening. He has several slips this cycle and there could be more to come. Denver had a top-five defense and led the NFL in sacks.

The Broncos ranked third in the NFL in points allowed this season. And that was largely due to their ability to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
They had a league-best 63 sacks this season, including two players in double figures – Nik Bonito (13.5) and Jonathon Cooper (10.5). Then there was Zach Allen, who led the league with an incredible 40 QB hits.
Joseph was the head coach in Denver for two seasons in 2018-19. He went 11-21 in those seasons.
