Sean Payton's interest in the Broncos is real. So what's next in search? Two interviews remain with San Francisco's defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and Cowboys defensive boss Dan Quinn. Read more from Broncos Insider TroyRenck:
CEO Greg Penner can't afford to miss on this choice. He did not create this mess, but another strikeout will set this franchise back years.
While prepping for much longer, Penner launched the search two weeks ago. He has been joined by owner Condoleezza Rice and general manager George Paton for six interviews, with two remaining Thursday night with San Francisco's defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and Friday afternoon with Cowboys defensive boss Dan Quinn.
Payton appears the front runner based on his positive interview on Tuesday — the Broncos were selling themselves to him as much as he was to them — and the latest snippet from Colin Cowherd's show Thursday that Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has contacted Payton and that"he wants Sean Payton." Payton, 59, won a Super Bowl, seven NFC South crowns and had only four losing seasons in 15 years with the Saints. He went 7-9 three straight years from 2014-16, but posted a 58-23 mark over his final five seasons.
Quinn, as noted on Wednesday, brings experience, a Super Bowl appearance and a 43-42 winning record as the head coach of the Falcons. His Cowboys defense the past two seasons has drawn rave reviews, leading the NFL in 2021 and 2022 in takeaways with 67.
