Here's my thoughts on Vance Joseph. He's more than proven himself to be a superior hands-on position coach, working directly with the Secondary for several teams, highlighted by having the Bengals lead the league with 41 interceptions in the two years that he served as Bengals Secondary Coach.
He was quite successful and instrumental in helping Miami achieve their first playoff birth in 8 seasons, as Defensive Coordinator with the Dolphins in 2016. They won 9 of their last 11 regular season games, were 4th in the league in getting off the field on 3rd down, were 6th in the league in negative plays (107), and 4th in takeaways, despite having to use 13 different starting lineups due to injuries.
Joseph has struggled in his 1st HC job with Denver. I don't know how much of those struggles are on him not being cut out to be a HC, or if he simply needed more time getting grasp of the bigger picture as a Coordinator, before his meteoric rise to a Head Coaching position with a team as high-profile as the Broncos.
Personally, I think that he does have the intellect, personality and disposition to do the job. However, I think that a couple more years as a coordinator are in store. I would be perfectly fine with him coming to be the DC/HC in waiting for the Bengals, especially if it seriously meant the designated end of the Marvin Lewis era, and got Hue Jackson out of town.
