This news comes just days after Broncos head coach Sean Payton decided to fire offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and Denver's 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC Conference Championship game. The timing of Lombardi's firing was also interesting, as it seemed to coincide with when it became clear that Webb was one of Las Vegas' finalists for the head coach job. Presumptively, Webb is in line for a promotion and will be the Broncos' offensive coordinator next season.
Obviously, this also limits the Raiders' final candidates, with the general feeling that the organization is putting all of its eggs in the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's 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's also scheduled to meet with the Arizona Cardinals. The Raiders and the Cardinals are the two head coach openings remaining in the NFL.
Both meetings are being held in Seattle as the Seahawks prepare for the Super Bowl, and neither club can officially hire Kubiak until after the big game on Sunday, Feb. 8.
The Raiders have also held an in-person interview with Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who would be the next likely candidate if Kubiak heads to Arizona or stays in Seattle now that Webb is no longer in the running. Las Vegas also had a virtual interview with Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, but Joseph has not been brought in for a second interview yet this week.
