Davis Webb withdraws from Raiders coaching search, per reports
NFL coaching vacancies continue to fill across the league. Ten teams will start the 2026 season with a different head coach this September than they had in Week 1 of the 2025 season: Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and the New York Giants.
As of Jan. 29, eight of those positions have been filled. Only the Cardinals and Raiders are without a new leader for 2026.
One major name has removed himself from consideration for the Raiders' job: Denver Broncos assistant Davis Webb, per multiple reports.
Webb was on four teams in his six-year NFL career before getting into the coaching ranks. He joined the Broncos in 2023 as the team's quarterbacks coach under Sean Payton and was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2025.

Denver made some staffing changes after losing the AFC championship game this season. The Broncos fired longtime Payton assistant Joe Lombardi from the offensive coordinator position and the 31-year-old Webb looks poised to take that role on in 2026.
The Raiders have interviewed 15 people for their head coach opening, including Webb. Six were hired to either head coaching or offensive coordinator positions with other teams.
The other eight people the Raiders have interviewed for their head coaching vacancy include:
Klay Kubiak (San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator)
Mike LaFleur (Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator)
Nate Scheelhaase (Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator)
Chris Shula (Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator)
Ejiro Evero (Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator)
Klint Kubiak (Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator)
Vance Joseph (Denver Broncos defensive coordinator)
Matt Nagy (former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator)

"Black Monday," with teams often taking swift action to shake up their coaching staffs and front offices with the season complete. In the shake up, the Las Vegas Raiders fired Pete Carroll after a 3-14 season that landed it the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
