Denver Broncos Cut Ties With Key Offense Coaches After AFC Title Game Loss
The Denver Broncos have severed ties with two senior coaches from their offense team following their heartbreaking loss in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots. The decision to part ways with offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and wide receivers coach Keary Colbert was made on Tuesday, a move that comes as a surprise given Lombardi's extensive experience working with head coach Sean Payton over the past 15 years.
Payton expressed his gratitude for Lombardi's contributions to the team's success during their three seasons together, but it appears he is intent on shaking things up in an effort to regain momentum after this season's disappointing finish. The Broncos' decision to let go of Lombardi may also be seen as a strategic move to create an opportunity for passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb to step into a more prominent role.
Lombardi, who previously worked with the Saints from 2007-2013 and again from 2016-2020 during Payton's tenure, had experience as an offensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Chargers before joining the Broncos. His decision to leave comes as the team looks to fill the void left by his departure.
The question now is who the Broncos will bring in to replace Colbert, a coach who was instrumental in developing their wide receivers unit during his time with the team. With the coaching carousel expected to be active this offseason, Denver will have a range of options from which to choose as they seek to build on next season's success.
For Webb, whose name has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the head coaching job in Las Vegas, this could be an opportunity to develop under Payton and prove himself as a capable assistant coach. However, if he were to secure the Raiders' opening, it would be tough for him to turn down such a high-profile opportunity.
Ultimately, the Broncos will need to move quickly to find suitable replacements for their departed coaches, as the coaching landscape is set to become increasingly competitive in the coming weeks.

just saw that news about the Denver Broncos cutting ties with Joe Lombardi and Keary Colbert after that heartbreaking loss 
I mean, what's up with these teams and their coach carousel? Can't they just find some stability for once? 
I'm all for shaking things up, but this is just ridiculous. And now Davis Webb gets a chance to shine... but like, what if he leaves for the Raiders? 
That would be a huge loss for Denver. They need to move fast and find some reliable coaches before next season or they'll be stuck in neutral gear 
joe lombardi was like a seasoned pro too, worked w/ sean payton for 15 years, and now he's just outta there 
meanwhile keary colbert might be hard to replace but i guess denver's gonna try 
it's all about regaining momentum now, or else they'll be left in the dust 
. Whoever comes in next gotta be on point if the Broncos wanna make another deep run 
. i feel bad for joe lombardi, he's been with sean payton for 15 years, but apparently it's time for a change 
. gotta respect payton's willingness to shake things up and try again 
. now they gotta find some new talent to replace keary colbert 
. whoever they pick will have big shoes to fill, especially if davis webb is gonna step into that head coach role in las vegas 
. wish them luck, but it's gonna be a tough offseason 
so now webb gets a shot @ qbs coach & might even land the head coaching job in vegas 
who knows wut the broncos will do but one ting is 4 sure - they gotta move fast or else they'll get left behind 
anyway i guess it makes sense for them to change up their coach since they didn't do so well this season... like 15 years with joe lombardi is a lot but maybe payton just wants to try something new? 
, now they gotta find someone who can fill their shoes. It's gonna be tough for Webb to step into that role, especially if he gets snatched up by the Raiders 
. I hope Payton can regroup and come back stronger next season, but this move has me skeptical 
. What do you guys think? Should they've stuck with Lombardi?
And Keary Colbert was like the wide receivers coach MVP 
. Now it's time for Sean Payton to bring in some new talent and shake things up. Maybe Davis Webb will be the answer to their passing game prayers? 
so its all about finding that balance between shaking things up and keeping the core intact 
.
we were driving through the mountains and saw this insane meteor shower 
it was like the sky was putting on a light show for us! anyway, back to football... I feel bad for Joe Lombardi, he seemed like a really cool guy. I'm not surprised Payton wants to shake things up though, they did lose that tough game against the Patriots 
do you guys think Davis Webb has what it takes to be a head coach? 
. But hey, maybe Payton just wants to try something new and get some fresh blood in there 
! He must have done something right to get that gig with Payton. And now they're letting him go? It's just weird... like watching an old favorite band break up
