The Broncos ownership group plans to begin interviewing finalists for the vacant coaching position this week. Broncos CEO Greg Penner has not tipped his hand as to a favorite, but many in the NFL believe Sean Payton has the inside track to the job.
DENVER — The Broncos ownership group plans to begin interviewing finalists for the vacant coaching position this week, and Sean Payton brings the best resume and most experience.
Penner, who is spearheading this search and selecting the new coach, has operated methodically, befitting his corporate background. The plan has always been to conduct a second round of interviews, mindful of what happened a year ago. Payton is tentatively scheduled to interview with the Carolina Panthers on Monday. The Panthers and Broncos are considered his most serious suitors. Payton was interviewed by Zoom with the Texans, and has not spoken with the Indianapolis Colts. However, according to Howard Balzer of PHNX, Payton will meet with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, so it's unclear if that will move Payton's follow-up with Denver.
Payton brings offensive acumen and that is a top priority for the Broncos, who ranked last in points per game in 2022. The Saints averaged 27.7 points per game from 2006-2021, second in the NFL. And Payton is open to working with quarterback Russell Wilson, who cratered in his first season with the Broncos . Wilson, according to radio host Colin Cowherd, has reached out to Payton, not a surprise given a friendship that started at Pro Bowls.
