The 58-year-old Payton left the Saints, after a record of 12-89 in the regular season. He won the Super Bowl. And in 2006, he received the AP Coach of the Year Award. He was interviewed by several other teams, but he ended up with the Denver Broncos. Payton had many potential suitors like the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and Houston Texans.
After Nathaniel Hackett was fired, it took almost a month for the Broncos to hire a new head coach. They interviewed other candidates before hiring Payton.
With Payton back as a coach in the Denver Broncos, one this sure that his coaching career was never on the edge.
He showed his excitement to play with the Broncos, as Payton told Jeff Duncan, ”Great fanbase. Great tradition. The ownership group is fantastic, and I love the way they competed last year. It’s a great football city like we had in New Orleans.”
