Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb is gaining attention from multiple teams for second interviews regarding head coaching positions. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the 30-year-old has already held initial interviews with the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders.
Upcoming Interviews and Focus on the Playoffs
Both the Ravens and the Raiders are eager to conduct in-person meetings with Webb. However, due to the Broncos’ participation in the upcoming conference championship, these discussions are postponed until next week. Meanwhile, Webb will concentrate on preparing backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham for Denver’s crucial playoff matchup against the New England Patriots.
Stidham’s Opportunity
Stidham is stepping in as starter following an injury to starting quarterback Bo Nix, who suffered a broken ankle in a recent victory over the Buffalo Bills. This will mark Stidham’s fifth career start and his first playoff game, presenting a significant opportunity for both the player and Webb.
- Stidham’s first non-preseason pass since 2024.
- Webb’s chance to demonstrate coaching skills on a significant platform.
- A strong performance could enhance Webb’s prospects for head coaching roles.
Webb’s Coaching Career and Potential
Davis Webb transitioned to coaching after retiring as a player in 2022. He joined the Broncos as their quarterbacks coach in 2023 under head coach Sean Payton. Despite a challenging initial season with quarterback Russell Wilson, Webb successfully guided Bo Nix to a third-place finish in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2024.
Growth and Leadership
Although Nix’s development stagnated in his sophomore season, Webb has expanded his role to include passing game coordinator. His strategic acumen and strong leadership within the Broncos’ organization position him as a promising candidate for head coaching roles. Transitioning from coaching quarterbacks to leading an entire team would be significant, but it also presents a potential opportunity for teams looking for fresh leadership.
Webb’s upward trajectory suggests that interest in him will continue to grow. Teams may look to secure his services now while he is still relatively new to coaching, enabling them to benefit from his potential in the long run.
