The Broncos have taken the expected route regarding their offensive coordinator position. Davis Webb has been promoted to the role, per a team announcement. 
Denver also announced on Monday that offensive quality control coach Logan Kilgore has been promoted to quarterbacks coach. Webb previously held that role, and his success resulted in widespread head coaching and coordinator interest around the league. To prevent a departure, the Broncos created an OC opening recently by firing Joe Lombardi.
Since that time, many have expected Webb to be promoted as Lombardi’s replacement. A formal interview took place yesterday, paving the way for Monday’s news. Attention will now turn to the matter of play-calling duties. Head coach Sean Payton has called plays for each of his three years in Denver, but ceding those responsibilities to Webb may have been necessary to keep him in the building.
At the age of 31, Webb is less experienced than many of the staffers who received interviews during this year’s hiring cycle. The former NFL QB has nevertheless seen his stock rise sharply over the course of his Broncos tenure, which began in 2023 as part of Payton’s first Denver staff. Webb worked as the team’s quarterbacks coach since arriving, and in 2025 he had pass-game coordinator added to his title.
During the early portion of this year’s hiring cycle, the Ravens and Bills interviewed Webb for their head coaching vacancies. A follow-up with the Raiders also took place in his case, but he withdrew from consideration. Shortly thereafter, Vegas reached an agreement with Klint Kubiak to become the team’s new head coach.
On the coordinator front, Webb was the subject of interview requests from the Ravens, Giants and Eagles for their OC openings. The vacancies in Baltimore and Philadelphia have been filled, but New York is still in search of a new coordinator to pair with John Harbaugh. Webb represented a potential target with Todd Monken landing the Browns’ HC gig, but that is no longer the case.
Webb has played a leading role in Bo Nix‘s development. The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist did not make a major jump in terms of statistical output in his second season, but he was of course a key reason why Denver secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Nix’s absence was certainly felt during the Broncos’ loss in the conference championship game. Provided his recovery from ankle surgery goes as planned, Nix will be fully healed in time for offseason work. That period will be critical, as it will mark the first series of spring and summer practices with Webb in place as OC.
Kilgore also joined the Broncos as part of Payton’s initial staff in 2023. He served as a quality control coach for three years, spending time in particular with Denver’s tight ends and returners along the way. Kilgore will now step into an elevated role as Webb’s successor, but Payton will have a number of familiar faces on his staff for next season.
What’s a quality control coach?
Mostly film study and analysis/breakdowns on it. A ton of grinding film and helping the staff prepare for games.
