Raiders Seek Interviews With Broncos Assistants Davis Webb and Vance Joseph for Head Coach

Virtual interviews can proceed during Denver’s playoff bye under league rules.

Overview

  • Las Vegas has requested permission to speak with Denver defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and quarterbacks coach/pass-game coordinator Davis Webb for its head-coaching vacancy, according to multiple reports.
  • Webb, 30, is drawing his first head-coaching interview after moving directly from a six-year NFL playing career to Sean Payton’s staff and earning a promotion to pass-game coordinator.
  • He has been credited with aiding Bo Nix’s development as the Broncos finished 14–3 and secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
  • In-person interviews for employed coaches generally cannot begin until January 19, though virtual meetings are allowed now because the Broncos hold a first-round bye.
  • The opening follows Las Vegas firing Pete Carroll after a 3–14 season, and no hires have been made as speculation persists about a possible Joseph–Webb pairing.
