Sean Payton becoming the Broncos coach ends the long time speculation that he would become the coach of the Cowboys in the near future. The former Cowboys assistant was linked to Dallas for the last year, despite the team not having an opening as Mike McCarthy remains the team’s coach.
On Thursday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones commented on Payton’s new job and the overall direction of the Broncos.
“[I] Think the world of Sean,” Jones said, via Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein. “It’s well-known how much I respect him as a coach. They’ll make an effective team, ownership and coach.”
