Vance Joseph will not be one-and-done as the head coach of the Denver Broncos.

Broncos G.M. John Elway told Joseph that he is returning for the 2018 season. Elway confirmed the plan via Twitter.

"Vance and I had a great talk this morning about our plan to attack this offseason and get better as a team," Elway wrote. "We believe in Vance as our head coach. Together, we'll put in the work to improve in all areas and win in 2018.

As Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith noted, Joseph appeared to be on the way out as the Broncos’ once-promising season went into a tailspin that ended with a 5-11 record. But as PFT reported early this morning, Elway began to have second thoughts about firing Joseph, and he ultimately decided to retain him for at least a second season.

As Smith further note, whether Joseph can win enough in his second season to stick around beyond 2018 will depend largely on whether the Broncos can finally find the right quarterback.

So far, they haven’t. And that’s more on Elway than on Joseph. So this year, both Joseph and Elway will come under heavy criticism if they cant get the offense moving.
