Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Davis Webb has withdrawn his name from the Las Vegas Raiders head coach opening, according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n
This news comes just days after Broncos head coach Sean Payton decided to fire offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and Denver\u2019s 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in Sunday\u2019s AFC Conference Championship game. The timing of Lombardi\u2019s firing was also interesting, as it seemed to coincide with when it became clear that Webb was one of Las Vegas\u2019 finalists for the head coach job. Presumptively, Webb is in line for a promotion and will be the Broncos\u2019 offensive coordinator next season.<\/p>\n
Obviously, this also limits the Raiders\u2019 final candidates, with the general feeling that the organization is putting all of its eggs in the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak\u2019s basket. Kubiak is set to have his second interview with the Silver and Black on Saturday. However, there will be competition for the play-caller, as he\u2019s also scheduled to meet with the Arizona Cardinals. The Raiders and the Cardinals are the two head coach openings remaining in the NFL.<\/p>\n
