The Denver Broncos have fired Vance Joseph as head coach after two seasons.

Joseph led the Broncos to a 6-10 record in 2018.

"I spoke with Vance this morning and thanked him for all of his hard work as our head coach," said John Elway via statement. "Although we decided to make this change, I believe Vance is a good football coach who has a bright future in this league.

"Vance made a lot of strides and deserves credit for how hard and competitively the team played this season. There's always going to be a high standard here -- the bottom line is we need to win more football games. We're excited about the foundation that's being built and look forward to putting in the work to get the Broncos back on the winning track."
