With Joseph's hiring, there's speculation turnover could happen among the coaching staff.
Wade Phillips has said publicly, though, that he's "still hoping to be with [the] Broncos," tweeting it out shortly after Gary Kubiak's announcement that he was stepping down.
Still hoping to be with Broncos,of course.

Even though Phillips does want to stay, he added a bit of dark humor, tweeting, "coaches life -- unemployed to SB victory to unemployed in 3 years or less."
