The Denver Broncos<\/a> are looking to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy with an in-house talent that works with Sean Payton that, less than a week ago, was in consideration to become the Buffalo Bills head coach. Now, it seems like this coach will not only stay at home, but to become one of the most innovative coordinators in the NFL.<\/p>\n

According to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette, the Broncos have interviewed Davis Webb for the OC job. Webb is actually the pass game coordinator\/quarterbacks coach for Denver. Per Tomasson, Webb is the \u201cleading candidate\u201d to get the position.<\/p>\n

He is the third candidate to be interviewed after Ronald Curry and Brian Johnson. Webb was one of the names that popped up during this year\u2019s coaching carousel. He is seen as one of the most brilliant, young, innovative minds in football.<\/p>\n

Webb has to live up to his potential<\/p>\n

Being an OC in the NFL is no easy job, although having Sean Payton as your mentor will surely help out. Webb was getting head coaching interviews, including the Bills<\/a>. That\u2019s how good of an image he is forming within the NFL confines. Now, if he gets the promotion, he will have to deliver.<\/p>\n

The playcalling duties are Sean Payton<\/a>\u2018s, however, Webb should be heavily involved in the game planning and scouting weaknesses in opponents defenses. Webb is a former NFL quarterback, and he quickly became a coaching prodigy after his retirement. The 31-year-old played two years in the NFL but had plenty of seasons on the Bills and Giants\u2019 practice squads.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Broncos also got an update on the DC job<\/p>\n

Much was said about the future of the team\u2019s defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph. However, after the HC landscape has just one vacancy on the Raiders, and it seems to be Klint Kubiak\u2019s future job<\/a>, Vance Joseph will be returning as the Broncos DC. <\/p>\n

Under Joseph, the Broncos defense ranked second in total yards and rushing yards allowed, seventh in passing yards allowed, and the third-best scoring defense in the NFL<\/a>. Having Joseph back is a huge win for the Broncos on their quest to go back to the AFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n
