A key ripple from the firing: Broncos quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Davis Webb plans to withdraw from the Raiders’ head-coaching search and is considered a prime candidate for the Broncos’ OC position, with multiple OC requests reportedly in play.
Webb’s status is viewed as uncertain but favorable to Denver. It would be hard to imagine him leaving to take an OC job with another team at this stage, given his rising profile and the opportunity to guide the Broncos’ offense.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter adds that Webb is withdrawing from Raiders head-coaching consideration and had previously interviewed for head-coaching openings with the Raiders, Bills and Ravens, underlining his growing appeal across the league.
In the broader view, Webb’s reluctance or timing could help Denver preserve continuity on offense as it transitions from Lombardi’s play-calling approach. The move aligns with an overarching plan to position the Broncos for a stronger run at the Super Bowl in the coming season.
Overall, the development signals a concerted push within Denver’s offensive staff to reclaim a championship trajectory, with Webb emerging as a central figure in the potential post-Lombardi era. The situation remains fluid as teams continue pursuing him for OC or other leadership roles.
