Webb turned to coaching in 2023 as the quarterbacks coach on Sean Payton&#8217;s staff in Denver. Webb became Denver&#8217;s offensive passing game coordinator and QBs coach. His work with Bo Nix has made him a name to watch during the hiring cycle. Webb has already interviewed for the Ravens&#8217; head coaching job, but could fast-track his 2027 potential by getting the Eagles over the hump offensively.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Any idea that ends with Webb joining the Eagles might not gain any traction now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Webb, at the time of this story&#8217;s release, is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/denver-broncos\/332\" data-autotag=\"80ecb2c2-c4e3-4c9a-8c53-01c0a2da3542\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Broncos<\/a>&#8216; quarterbacks coach and offensive pass game coordinator. He has served in the former role since 2023 and added the latter title this past season. It seems feasible to believe he&#8217;d be the most logical replacement for Lombardi, taking his name off Philadelphia&#8217;s list before they can give him a serious look, that is, if they had plans to do so in the first place. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 27, 2026, 7:33 p.m. ET The Philadelphia Eagles&#8216; ongoing search for a new offensive coordinator just added&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[95878,791,25,7,6,2123,242,109,2476,97111,97112,95882,97108,96115,95886,95896,95888,95895,95899,95906,96538,96191,96177,95884,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-710457","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-co","10":"tag-eagles","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-pa","14":"tag-philadelphia","15":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","16":"tag-philadelphiaeagles","17":"tag-sstssportsnfleagles","18":"tag-sstsneagles","19":"tag-tagamerican-football","20":"tag-tagbo-nix","21":"tag-tagdenver","22":"tag-tagdenver-broncos","23":"tag-tagnational-sports","24":"tag-tagnfl","25":"tag-tagnfl-hub","26":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","27":"tag-tagoverall-positive","28":"tag-tagphiladelphia","29":"tag-tagphiladelphia-eagles","30":"tag-tagsmg-breaking-wire","31":"tag-tagsports-coaching-training","32":"tag-tagsports-news","33":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115970514821747167","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
