Following the Broncos’ loss in the AFC Championship this weekend, pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb became available to interview for head coaching opportunities with the Raiders and Bills. After Buffalo pulled the trigger on promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady, a few teams reached out hoping Webb might be available to interview for a lesser role. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens all requested to interview Webb for their open offensive coordinator positions. 
We’ve sees our fair share of meteoric rises in the coaching world, but what Webb has people saying at this point in his career feels unprecedented. A former quarterback, Webb was a third-round pick in 2017 but didn’t make his NFL debut until 2021. He played four snaps that year with the Bills then made his first and only start the next year with the Giants. Those two games were Webb’s only NFL action as a player, but he clearly must’ve seen a better road ahead in coaching, as ESPN’s Jordan Raanan can testify to.
The next season, Webb joined Sean Payton‘s staff in Denver as the quarterbacks coach. Under Payton and Webb, veteran Russell Wilson had a resurgent season in Denver following a rough first year away from the Seahawks. In Webb’s second season coaching, he was handed a first-round rookie quarterback in Bo Nix. In two years, Nix has impressed, averaging a 64.8 completion percentage, 3,853 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 11.5 interceptions. With Webb adding the pass game coordinator title in 2025, the passing offense improved from 20th in yards gained in 2024 to 11th this year.
An impressive early résumé and what must be some serious inside coach speak have made Webb a serious candidate for head coach jobs and offensive coordinator positions. He hasn’t even gotten an opportunity to call plays yet, and all three openings requesting his interview would require him to do just that. With head coaching jobs dwindling, more and more candidates will need to look for lower positions soon, if they’re not already under contract. And, if Webb doesn’t end up landing a head coaching position, one would wonder if he doesn’t end up just staying in Denver to replace recently fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.
