The Denver Broncos have officially promoted passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb to their offensive coordinator position on Monday, according to the team’s social media page.
The Broncos also promote Logan Kilgore to Webb’s old spot as quarterbacks coach. Kilgore was previously the Broncos offensive quality control coach.
Webb was a popular name this coaching cycle, having interviewed for head coaching positions with the Las Vegas Raiders and Buffalo Bills, but ultimately, he’ll remain in Denver to continue building what Sean Payton and company have started with second-year quarterback Bo Nix.

The news comes as the team fired former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi just two days after the team’s appearance in the AFC Championship. Lombardi had spent the last three seasons as Denver’s offensive coordinator; now, Webb takes over.
Webb, 31, has quickly risen through the coaching ranks since his playing days ended in 2022. A 2017 third-round pick by the New York Giants, Webb spent his NFL career with the G-Men, Jets and Bills in a backup role. Webb made just one start at quarterback in his career for the Giants back in 2022.
Webb has since spent the last three seasons under head coach Sean Payton with the Broncos. He was initially hired in 2023 as the quarterbacks coach before adding the passing game coordinator role to his responsibilities last season, following the departure of John Morton.
Nix has thrown for 7,706 yards, 54 touchdowns and 23 interceptions in two seasons as a starter. Denver ranked 14th in total scoring and 10th in yards this season despite the year coming to a devastating end, as Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury, forcing backup Jarrett Stidham into action against the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots. The Patriots won 10-7.
