The Denver Broncos promoted Davis Webb to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy, the team announced Monday.

Webb, a retired NFL quarterback who was Denver's offensive pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, replaces three-year coordinator Joe Lombardi, who was fired Jan. 27 after the Broncos' offense stalled in their AFC Championship Game defeat.

The Broncos ranked 10th in total offense and 14th in scoring in 2025, securing the AFC's top playoff seed and a first-round bye.

They outgunned the Buffalo Bills 33-30 in the divisional round but were torpedoed by the loss of quarterback Bo Nix to a fractured ankle. The New England Patriots proceeded to beat Denver 10-7 by limiting backup Jarrett Stidham to 133 passing yards and allowing just one first down after halftime.

Offensive quality control coach Logan Kilgore was named Denver's new quarterbacks coach, a position Webb had held under head coach Sean Payton since 2023.

Webb nurtured Nix, the No. 12 overall draft pick in 2024, and helped him become the first quarterback to pass for 7,500 yards, throw 50 touchdowns and win 20 games in his first two seasons, per the team.

'I think Davis is a tremendous coach,' Nix said about Webb at his season-ending media availability. 'He understands the role of teaching. He really knows how to communicate with your players, with me. He's helped me in two years just consolidate, make things simple, and just keep the main thing the main thing. Taking a lot of information, a lot of knowledge, and been able to just roll right into it. I think highly of him.'

Webb, 31, completed 23 of 40 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown in the New York Giants' 2022 regular-season finale -- his only career start.

He was a third-round draft pick out of California in 2017 and mainly spent time on the practice squads for the Giants, Bills and New York Jets.

Webb interviewed twice for Las Vegas' head coaching opening but withdrew from consideration before the Raiders settled on Klint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks, New England's opponent in Super Bowl LX.
