Broncos playoff win impacts NFL coaching searches, Bills fire McDermott, and Broncos' Webb emerges as a coaching candidate
The Denver Broncos advanced to the AFC Championship Game after defeating the Buffalo Bills, which delays coaching interviews for Broncos assistant Davis Webb, who is a candidate for NFL head coaching jobs at the Raiders, Ravens, and Bills. Webb has gained recognition as a rising star with strong NFL connections, including his history with quarterback Josh Allen and notable NFL quarterbacks like Mahomes and Mayfield. His youth and limited experience make him a risky but intriguing candidate, with some reports indicating teams are impressed by his interview performances. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott shortly after their playoff loss to the Broncos. The search for a new coach is already underway, with NFL insiders suggesting that former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, now with the New York Giants, is a top candidate. However, many believe the franchise needs a philosophical shift rather than a return to familiar faces, criticizing the decision to consider Daboll due to past performance and advocating for fresh ideas to elevate quarterback Josh Allen and the team. The Broncos' playoff success has complicated coaching plans for other teams, as interest in Webb increases and coaching interviews are postponed until after the AFC Championship. Webb's potential to become one of the NFL's youngest head coaches is balanced by concerns over his experience, but his strong interview feedback suggests he remains a prominent candidate in this coaching cycle.
