Vance Joseph called it “a dream job,” the one he wanted all along. The end of the Miami Dolphins‘ season gave way to a brief but hectic interview process that made him a coveted coaching candidate for multiple NFL teams in need of not just a new head coach but a complete gutting.

But Joseph wanted Denver, where a rebuild isn’t necessary.

“I interviewed here two years ago when they hired Gary (Kubiak), so I kind of knew if it came back again I would have a chance again in Denver,” Joseph told The Denver Post on Wednesday. “Denver was No. 1 because it was the job most ready to win. Most first-time head coaches, you acquire jobs that are rebuilds and that has some issues. But this job is pretty set as far as personnel and support.”

The opportunity, and his official introduction as the Broncos’ new coach last Thursday has given way to a week of chaos, packed with interviews to find assistants and the creation of a broad plan to revamp the offense as well as establish a culture.

After Joseph signed his four-year contract and held his introductory news conference, he quickly went to work, interviewing Mike McCoy to fill the vacant offensive coordinator position, then welcoming Bill Musgrave back to Denver as his quarterbacks coach, the second major piece to the new offensive staff.

“I wanted Mike right away,” Joseph said. “Mike brings an expertise of fitting his offensive scheme to the players. He built a scheme for (Tim) Tebow and for Peyton Manning that’s so vastly different that it shows Mike’s talent as far as working with players.”

In the months to come, Joseph is expected to oversee the next open quarterback competition in Denver, between Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.

“I’m hoping that between Mike and Bill and their experience on raising quarterbacks that both of those guys can hit their peaks,” Joseph said. “That’s what’s important for young quarterbacks, to give them a chance to grow as much as they can so they can be productive NFL quarterbacks. Most young quarterbacks miss steps or they go through so many systems that they can never hit their peak. Our goal here is to have those two kids be the best they can be.”

At his first news conference, Joseph said he envisioned an offense with “swagger,” one with more energy and creativity. With McCoy and Musgrave, the scheme figures to be tweaked, tailored to the skill sets of the personnel, especially the quarterbacks.

“I want an offense that wants to be the leader of the football team, as the defense has been the last two seasons,” Joseph said.” I think the best teams win — not the best offense or defense, but the best team wins. I want the offense to have the mentality of, ‘Hey, we can win the game as much as the defense can win the game.’ I don’t want an offense that takes a back seat to the defense.

“Mike has his own style of offense, so it won’t be the same as Gary’s. In the NFL, most offenses, whatever you call them — West Coast, numbers — they all have similar traits, so I don’t think it’s going to look that different from last year, but obviously with some different terminology, some different concepts, it could be a little bit different.” Related Articles January 15, 2017 Vance Joseph goes big with coaching hires to bring offensive “swagger” back to Denver

On defense, Joseph promoted Joe Woods, the Broncos’ secondary coach the past two seasons, to take over as defensive coordinator, replacing Wade Phillips. Woods will oversee a staff composed of multiple holdovers, including defensive line coach Bill Kollar, outside linebackers coach Fred Pagac and inside linebackers coach Reggie Herring.

Joseph will keep the 3-4 scheme, offering an easy transition and playing to the strengths of the defensive stars.

“The structure of the defense won’t change,” Joseph said. “That’s what the personnel is built for. Our best players are the rushers and the corners right now, so that structure will not change.”

But much more will change in the coming weeks and months as Joseph and the Broncos prepare for the NFL draft and free agency. The roster will be tweaked. The system, maybe, too.

“It’s time to start building a culture,” he said, “and to start getting to work.”
