The Denver Broncos named Sean Payton the 20th head coach in franchise history Friday
The Broncos reached an agreement earlier this week to compensate the New Orleans Saints, who had Payton under contract for two more years.
“It is rare in any sport to hire a head coach with Sean’s credentials and we appreciate the first-class manner in which the Saints approached this process,” Penner said. “We also appreciated the opportunity to meet and learn from the other highly qualified, outstanding coaches we interviewed.Article content
The Broncos went 5-12 last season, extending their playoff drought to seven years. Hackett was fired on Dec. 26 with a 4-11 record, making him just the fifth head coach not to make it through his first season in NFL history. Interim head coach Jerry Rosburg went 1-1 to close out the Broncos’ sixth consecutive losing season.
The Seahawks own the Broncos’ No. 5 overall selection in the upcoming draft. The first-rounder they sent to New Orleans for Payton is No. 29 overall. They obtained that pick from the Miami Dolphins in the Bradley Chubb trade last year. The pick originally belonged to the San Francisco 49ers.
