Joe Lombardi Broncos: The Denver Broncos parted ways with offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi on Tuesday, triggering immediate discussion around the team’s next move.
Fans and analysts quickly pointed to quarterbacks coach Davis Webb as a possible beneficiary of the decision.
Speculation centered on whether Lombardi’s exit could lead to Webb being elevated within the coaching staff.
However, reporting from the Denver Post indicates the decision was made without regard to Webb’s role.
Reporter Parker Gabriel noted that Lombardi was dismissed based solely on organizational evaluations.
The move was not tied to any plan involving Webb, according to those familiar with the situation.
The Broncos now face decisions about the direction of their offense as they assess potential replacements.
NFL policy requires teams to conduct interviews with a minimum of two minority candidates before appointing an offensive coordinator.
That requirement is expected to slow the Denver Broncos’ hiring process.
League guidelines make an immediate decision unlikely as the search moves forward.
According to Denver Gazette reporter Chris Tomasson, the Broncos are expected to take additional time before naming a replacement.
Davis Webb remains in contention for the Las Vegas Raiders’ open head coaching job.
He is considered one of the three leading options for the position, along with Klint Kubiak and Brian Daboll.
The information was reported by CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones.
Las Vegas has yet to settle on a finalist for the role.
The organization is scheduled to meet with another candidate this week.
That timeline was confirmed by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
The Las Vegas Raiders are still in the early stages of their head coaching search.
No immediate hiring decision is expected from the organization.
That uncertainty could affect the Denver Broncos’ plans for the offensive coordinator position.
Denver may opt to wait until Las Vegas names its next head coach before moving forward.
Davis Webb is expected to be closely monitored as both situations continue to develop.
