PHOENIX — Sean Payton’s team won’t start playing for more than five months, but the new Broncos head coach has already made a clear impact on the franchise in his boss’ eyes.
“He immediately set a different tone coming into the building,” CEO Greg Penner told a small group of reporters at the league’s spring ownership meetings here Tuesday.
“As a head coach probably the most important thing that you do is the staff that you hire and right away he came in and he’s built a staff that’s diverse. And I mean diverse across multiple dimensions — it’s age, you’ve got everyone from (75-year-old assistant head coach) Mike Weshtoff to (28-year-old quarterbacks coach) Davis Webb, diverse backgrounds from different coaching trees and perspectives — and that’s probably the most impressive thing.”
