Webb, the Broncos’ current pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, has long been viewed as the frontrunner since Lombardi’s departure. The process has drawn league-wide interest in Webb, with teams such as the Raiders and Bills interviewing him for head coach and the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens interviewing him for OC roles, creating momentum inside Denver to secure his future. Yahoo Sports and Denver reporters noted his official interview as a key milestone.
Promoting Webb would preserve continuity under head coach Sean Payton while keeping one of the league’s fastest-rising coaches in the building. Webb is credited with Bo Nix’s development and has become a central figure in Denver’s offensive staff, making his promotion seem the most logical path for Payton’s system and quarterback room.
The Broncos conducted a thorough process beyond Webb, interviewing external candidates Brian Johnson (Washington Commanders) and Ronald Curry (Buffalo Bills). Both are respected play-design and quarterback-development minds, and even if Webb lands the OC job, either could join Payton’s staff in other capacities such as quarterbacks coach or senior offensive assistant.
Sources indicate Webb remains the top choice after the interview phase, thanks to his familiarity with Payton’s system, rapport with the quarterback room, and rising reputation around the league. With internal and external interviews now complete, Denver appears poised to make a decision soon.
At 30 years old, Webb would be stepping into his first offensive coordinator opportunity. The ongoing reporting frames his candidacy as the clearest path forward for Denver, with the Broncos’ decision looming as the process moves toward a resolution.
