ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Vance Joseph fully understands and appreciates the significance of his new job beyond the everyday football matters.
It’s just he’s all about the football matters right now. But as a former University of Colorado player and assistant coach, he’s spent enough time in and around the region to know exactly how many people care so much for the Denver Broncos.
And the fact Joseph is the first African-American to be the Broncos’ head coach in the franchise's history is not something he simply brushes aside.
“I’m honored, I’m proud,’’ Joseph said when he was formally introduced as the Broncos’ 16th head coach.
