The Denver Broncos have promoted quarterbacks coach Davis Webb to the role of offensive coordinator, solidifying a key position on head coach Sean Payton’s staff. Webb, a former NFL quarterback, joined the Broncos coaching staff after retiring from playing in 2023 and had been serving as the team’s quarterbacks coach prior to his promotion.
As offensive coordinator, Webb will take on the responsibility of overseeing the Broncos’ offensive game plans and working closely with both the coaching staff and players to implement strategies on game day. His transition into the role marks a notable rise, coming just a short time after stepping off the field as a player. While head coach Sean Payton remains expected to maintain significant involvement in play-calling duties, Webb’s elevation signals trust in his football acumen and rapport with the team.
Webb’s promotion follows a season in which he worked directly with the Broncos’ quarterbacks, providing insights and guidance in a year that saw Denver striving to stabilize its offense. Though the team faced challenges throughout the campaign, Webb’s work earned respect internally, particularly due to his detailed preparation and strong communication skills.
A former third-round draft pick in 2017 out of California, Webb spent time with several NFL teams during his playing career, including the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills. His intimate understanding of the quarterback position and his rapid adaptation to the coaching ranks have drawn comparisons to young NFL coaches who made similar transitions, such as Kellen Moore.
The Broncos are continuing to shape their coaching staff with an eye toward building a consistent and effective offensive unit. Webb’s appointment comes at a time when the team is preparing for key offseason decisions, including personnel changes and the upcoming NFL Draft. His immediate focus will likely center on quarterback development and refining the team’s offensive identity moving forward into the 2026 season.
