After a rocky start to their offensive coordinator search, the Philadelphia Eagles might finally have a candidate who brings a little buzz - and maybe even some optimism - back into the conversation.
Davis Webb, currently the Denver Broncos’ passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, has emerged as a serious name in the mix. According to reports, he’s received interview requests from three NFL teams for their open offensive coordinator roles, including the Eagles. He’s also been in the conversation for head coaching gigs, having interviewed with both the Raiders and the Bills.
Now, let’s be clear: Webb is still early in his coaching journey. He started as Denver’s quarterbacks coach in 2023 and was promoted to his current role in 2025. But in just a few short years, he’s turned enough heads to be considered for some of the league’s top jobs - and that kind of trajectory doesn’t happen by accident.
For Eagles fans, this could be the first real reason to feel intrigued about the OC search. Webb hasn’t called plays yet, which is always a risk when handing over the keys to an offense. But the fact that he’s already getting head coach interviews suggests that teams around the league see something special - a rising star with a sharp football mind and the leadership to match.
There’s been some comparison between Webb and another Eagles OC candidate, Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion. It’s a fair discussion - both are relatively new to coaching, and they’re close in terms of experience. But there’s a key difference: Webb has already taken on more responsibility and shown he can help shape an offense, not just work with quarterbacks.
In Denver, Webb played a key role in developing Bo Nix into one of the league’s most promising young QBs. That’s not just a footnote - it’s a big deal.
The Broncos came within one game of the Super Bowl, and Webb was right in the thick of it, helping design the passing game alongside Sean Payton. That kind of involvement matters, especially for a team like the Eagles that’s looking to retool its offense and get the most out of its own quarterback talent.
Mannion, by contrast, has been more narrowly focused on quarterback development. That’s valuable, but it doesn’t quite match the broader offensive influence Webb has already demonstrated.
Of course, there’s a wrinkle here. Denver just fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, which could open the door for the Broncos to promote Webb internally.
If they want to keep him, they could offer more money, more control, and his first shot at calling plays. That puts the Eagles in a competitive spot - if they want Webb, they’ll likely need to make a strong offer that includes play-calling duties and a clear vision for his role.
It won’t be easy. But if Philadelphia can land Davis Webb, it would mark a bold, forward-looking move - one that could re-energize a fan base still waiting for a reason to believe in this coaching search.
