The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to strengthen their coaching staff by targeting candidates from rival teams. This offseason, they have officially requested interviews with two key figures from the Denver Broncos. The first candidate is Vance Joseph, the Broncos’ defensive coordinator, who is being considered for the head coach position.
Raiders’ Coaching Search Expands
In addition to Vance Joseph, the Raiders have sought permission to interview Davis Webb. Webb serves as the offensive pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Broncos. At just 30 years old, he has made significant strides in his coaching career.
About Davis Webb
Davis Webb transitioned to coaching after being encouraged to retire from playing by Broncos head coach Sean Payton. He accepted this change during the offseason of 2023. Webb quickly progressed through the coaching ranks:
- Spent two seasons as the quarterbacks coach.
- Promoted to offensive pass game coordinator ahead of the 2025 season.
His reputation as a respected figure among players and coaches has led to expectations that he may one day assume a head coach role himself. However, taking on the role of offensive coordinator could be a more strategic stepping stone for his career development.
Future Prospects for Raiders’ Candidates
The interest in Davis Webb reflects the Raiders’ intentions to identify innovative leadership for their team. It is important to note that they may not be the only team pursuing Webb in 2026. The competitive landscape for coaching talent is keen, and the Raiders are keen to secure promising prospects to enhance their coaching capabilities as they look ahead.
