At this point, even the most cynical Denver Broncos fan can admit the man who should be the team’s offensive coordinator in 2026 is quarterbacks coach Davis Webb.
That doesn’t mean Webb is going to actually be the offensive coordinator for the Broncos — that’s not the only OC opening in the NFL right now.
That means the Broncos need to have a backup plan, and we got a glimpse into what that might be on Friday.
Denver head coach Sean Payton fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi just days after a 10-7 home loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.
“Sources: The Broncos requested permission and have now interviewed Commanders assistant HC and offensive passing game coordinator Brian Johnson for their open OC position,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz wrote on his official X account. “Johnson was the Eagles OC during the 2023 season.”
The news comes one day after Webb pulled his name out of the running to become the head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders.
“Broncos QBs coach Davis Webb plans to withdraw from the Raiders head coaching search and is considered a prime candidate for his current team’s OC job, source says,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on X. “He’s also received several OC requests.”
