According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Buffalo Bills are among a handful of teams waiting to interview Denver Broncos’ passing game coordinator/quarterbacks Coach Davis Webb for their vacant head coaching position. Schefter reported Sunday morning that the Bills and Las Vegas Raiders wish to interview Webb for their respective top jobs.
Webb, 31, is a rising star in the coaching field. He has been a member of the Broncos’ coaching staff since his six-year NFL career ended following the 2022 NFL season. Head coach Sean Payton hired Webb as quarterbacks coach that season. He added the title of passing game coordinator to Webb’s resume ahead of the 2025 season.
Webb has never been an offensive coordinator and has only called plays during preseason action; however, he has drawn rave reviews from multiple coaches regarding his football IQ. Former Bills head coach Sean McDermott spoke highly of Webb during his tenure with the team, as did former Bills offensive coordinator and New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who coached Webb with both teams. Daboll was Buffalo’s offensive coordinator during all three of Webb’s seasons with the team (2019-2021), and he was the Giants’ head coach during Webb’s one season in New Jersey.
Perhaps more importantly as it relates to the Bills’ head coaching job, Webb has a phenomenal relationship with quarterback Josh Allen. Webb was Allen’s backup for three seasons, and they even appeared together on an episode of Coffee with the Bills at the end of the 2021 season. Webb was often discussed as a natural coach, as someone who’d undoubtedly succeed, during his time at One Bills Drive.
Webb entered the NFL as a third-round pick of the Giants in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was with the Giants in 2017 before changing locker rooms at MetLife Stadium to join the New York Jets for the 2018 season. He did not appear in a game during either season. He made his NFL debut for the Bills during their 45-17 victory over the Jets in Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season. He played four snaps, handing off twice before kneeling twice to end the game. He made his only career start the following season, completing 23-of-40 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown, adding six rushes for 41 yards and another score, in New York’s 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular-season finale.
Webb has already interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason, who hired former Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as their head coach instead. He interviewed once with the Las Vegas Raiders, and is reportedly set to have a second interview this week after the first interview was described as “phenomenal.”
