Denver Broncos pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb is considered a favorite for the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job. However, if he does not get that job, he has multiple teams, likely including the Broncos, who want to interview him for their offensive coordinator positions.
According to ESPN’s lead league insider, Adam Schefter, the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Baltimore Ravens have all put in requests to interview Davis Webb for their offensive coordinator positions.
Webb is viewed as a fast-rising coach in the league, and if he doesn’t get the Raiders head coaching job, he will have multiple play-calling/offensive coordinator jobs waiting for him.

The Eagles, who moved on from offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after a very disappointing season, are having a hard time filling their offensive coordinator position. Multiple candidates have turned down the job, and there isn’t a current leading candidate for the job. The team, despite winning a Super Bowl just last year, was surrounded by drama, and it seems like coaches don’t want to be part of that moving forward. We’ll have to see if Webb is interested in the job or if he’ll be yet another coach to turn them down
Davis Webb makes a lot of sense for the New York Giants. He was drafted by them and had two stints with the team before retiring and getting into coaching. He could join John Harbaugh’s staff and take over an offense led by quarterback Jaxson Dart. Teams saw what he did with Bo Nix in Denver and want him to work with their young quarterback.
As for the Ravens, they hired former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and are now looking for someone to run their offense. The Ravens offense has former MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson and star running back Derrick Henry, and a coach like Webb could get this team going back in the right direction.
However, another team that figures to be interested in Webb if he doesn’t get the Raiders job is his current employer, the Denver Broncos. The team announced that they have fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, and Davis Webb would be a logical in-house promotion for them. He knows the team; it would be his third-year with Sean Payton, and he would continue to work with Bo Nix and the Broncos’ offensive playmakers.

Davis Webb is a popular man, and if the Denver Broncos want him to be their offensive coordinator, they will face some competition for him. That is, if he doesn’t become the next head coach of the rival Las Vegas Raiders.
