The Miami Dolphins have hired Bengals defensive backs coach Vance Joseph as their new defensive coordinator under head coach Adam Gase, the team announced Tuesday. Joseph might have taken the same job in Denver a year ago, but the Bengals did not allow him to interview for the position that eventually went to Wade Phillips. Cincinnati didn’t have that option this year, as Joseph’s contract had expired after the season. A cornerback with the Jets and Colts for two seasons in the mid-1990s, Joseph has spent 11 years running the secondaries of the 49ers, Texans and Bengals.
