On the heels of hiring a new head coach, the Cardinals reportedly informed Vance Joseph on Thursday of their intention to “release” the defensive coordinator from his contract, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
Thursday’s news follows the hiring of former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon as head coach on Tuesday. During his introductory press conference Thursday afternoon, Gannon told reporters he planned to talk to Joseph, 50, later in the day to see if the longtime assistant’s vision “blends” with his before evaluating next steps.
While Arizona has yet to announce whether it will move on from Joseph, who also interviewed for the head coaching position, it would mark the latest move amid a host of changes since the club fired coach Kliff Kingsbury on Jan. 9. Joseph joined Kingsbury’s staff in 2019 following a two-year stint as the Broncos head coach.
