The Denver Broncos reportedly decided to keep Vance Joseph as their head coach for the 2018 season on Monday, according to The MMQB's Albert Breer.

Per Breer, general manager John Elway took the night to sleep on it before settling on retaining Joseph.

The move came as somewhat of a surprise, as ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Joseph was facing "increasingly longer odds" to return.

Elway posted the following messages to fans Monday on Twitter:

Denver posted a disappointing 5-11 record in its first season under Joseph in 2017, highlighted by the inability to settle on a starting quarterback, as Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch were all used in that capacity.
