Joseph signed a four-year deal with the Broncos, according to
ESPN's Adam Schefter. Financial terms were not disclosed.
"Becoming head coach of the Denver Broncos is a dream job for
many reasons," Joseph said in a statement. "The Broncos have an
unbelievable winning tradition and great fan support."
Joseph, 44, was the last of three candidates to interview for
the Broncos following Kansas City Chiefs special teams
coordinator Dave Toub and Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator
Kyle Shanahan last weekend.
"For us, Vance Joseph is the best fit to become the head coach
of the Denver Broncos," team executive vice president John Elway
said in a statement.
Kubiak, who was plagued by a complex migraine condition,
announced his retirement from coaching following a season-ending
24-6 victory over Oakland.
"Vance has been in preparation for this opportunity for many
years. He is a leader of men who gets the most out his players,"
Kubiak, who led Denver to a Super Bowl victory last year, said
in a statement.
