Former Buff Vance Joseph mentioned for numerous NFL head coaching positions
… Vance Joseph was a quarterback and a running back for the Buffs from 1991-95. He finished his career completing 34 of 61 passes for 454 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. He also had 237 rushing yards on 50 carries and a touchdown … Joseph began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Gary Barnett (1999-2001), returning (after a year at Wyoming) to coach defensive backs (2002-03) for the Buffs.
From the Orlando Sun Sentinel … Vance Joseph has drawn interest from multiple NFL teams that will have to wait to interview the Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator for their vacant head coach position.
Dolphins head coach Adam Gase acknowledged that a couple teams have requested permission to interview Joseph, who is in his first year as a defensive coordinator in Miami.
Gase wouldn’t identify the teams, but Joseph’s name has been linked to the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams openings. The Broncos, 49ers and Rams are three of six teams shopping for new head coaches. The Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Diego Chargers are also looking for new head coaches.
“He’s put those guys in the right positions. From where we’ve started and how we’ve grown through the years, guys being in and out, losing some key players, he’s done a good job,” Gase said when asked to evaluate Joseph’s performance, which includes Miami overcoming injuries to key starters Reshad Jones, Koa Misi, Jelani Jenkins, Earl Mitchell and Isa Abdul-Quddus. “It’s a great experience to be able to go through. You have an opportunity to do something that is one of 32 jobs. These are going to be great opportunities for him”.
NFL rules prohibit teams from interviewing coaches whose teams are playing in the first round of the playoffs, so all interested teams will have to wait to speak to Joseph until at leat after the Dolphins play Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
