JANUARY 7: Webb will interview with the Raiders today, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
JANUARY 6: Broncos pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb may jump from one AFC West franchise to another. The Raiders have requested a head coaching interview with Webb, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Webb, who will turn 31 on Jan. 22, has seen his stock soar during his brief coaching career. A former Giants, Bills and Jets quarterback from 2017-22, Webb immediately dove into coaching when his playing days ended. He has been part of head coach Sean Payton‘s staff for three seasons. Webb worked solely as the Broncos’ QBs coach for two years before Payton added to his responsibilities this season.
Denver did not make the playoffs in 2023, the last year of the ill-fated Russell Wilson era, but has evolved into an AFC superpower since then. Quarterback Bo Nix, a first-round pick in 2024, took over as the Broncos’ starter as a rookie. The team went 10-7 and broke an eight-year playoff drought. The Broncos improved to 14-3 in 2025, earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and are on a bye week in the first round of the playoffs.
Webb has played an important role in Nix’s development, which is part of the reason the Broncos are on the shortlist of Super Bowl favorites. Nix, who finished third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2024, has continued to serve as a nice complement to an elite Denver defense this season.
Nix and the Broncos swept Las Vegas during a nightmare campaign for the Raiders. After finishing 3-14, the Raiders fired Pete Carroll on Monday. At 74, Carroll became the oldest head coach in NFL history during his lone season with the Raiders. Webb will become one of the youngest ever hired if he lands the Raiders’ job, but he’ll have to beat out several other candidates, including Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
Ending up in Vegas would presumably give Webb another opportunity to work with a young signal-caller. The Raiders are expected to select a quarterback with the first pick in the 2026 draft.
The age difference between Davis Webb and Pete Carroll is Kevin Stefanski’s age.
Sorry but you have too much time on your hands if you know that.
They said Webb’s age in this post, Carroll’s age gets mentioned constantly, and I saw Stefanski’s age after he got fired. So it actually took less time to know that than to respond to you now, Slappy.
Just saying too much time
I’m hopeful your finite time on earth could be better spent than yapping at me.
sittin’ on this barstool, talkin’ like a damn fool
Got the twelve o’clock news blues
they are picking his brain for an OC role under the guise of a HC interview, good move by Vegas. Use this procedure to gather as much intel as you can.
Al Davis regularly hired younger, unproven guys as head coaches (Madden, Flores, Gruden, Lane Kiffin!) and hit more than he missed. Mark isn’t his old man, but it’s a Raiders thing.
This sounds like a smart and interesting move by the Raiders. Davis Webb has been around good systems and learned from strong coaching staffs, so it makes sense to at least hear his ideas. I like that the Raiders are keeping an open mind and looking at fresh options instead of the usual names. Even if nothing comes out of it, interviews like this show they’re serious about finding the right leader for the team.
It’s simple math, simpleton.
I find myself rooting hard for Davis.
He always did the right things and his reputation was that he always was a detail guy.
Im pretty sure thats why he stuck around so long in the practice squad. There was zero chance he was ever going to play – but he was a good teacher.
Im really wishing him success.
Let’s get John Harbaugh to the Raiders that way the slacker announcers can talk about he and his brother facing off twice a year until one or both gets fired.
I struggle with the idea that someone should be commended for Bo Nix’s development or Bo Nix is even a good quarterback. He has an 87 QB rating, ranked 26th in the NFL. 25 TDs 11 INTs. In that ill-fated Russell Wilson era, Russell had a 98 QB rating and that was the 9th best. Russell beat the Chiefs at their best with Mahomes and the Bills with Josh Allen when they were the best AFC teams. But the Broncos had an atrocious D that year. Allowed 70 in a historically awful game. This year Bo has one of the best Ds in the league. That is why they are winning games. KC rolling over. Chargers being plagued with injuries. Bo does not deserve much credit for being an impressive QB. He really isnt one. Nice game manager. But on an under. 500 team with an average or weak D think they are looking for a more impressive more talented QB.
So dont think Webb or Payton deserve much acclaim for developing Nix. Webb may still be very good as a HC but dont see Bo Nix as a feather in his cap.
