Former Saints coach Sean Payton, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn have emerged as the main coaching candidates the Broncos are considering, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Each candidate is coming from a completely different background and circumstance—making it an interesting candidate pool to say the least.
Payton retired from coaching after the 2021 season but is still under contract with the Saints. If he were to want to coach for another squad, the Saints would be looking for a first-round draft pick in return, per NFL Network. The Broncos, Texans and the Cardinals were all granted permission by the Saints to interview Payton, per an earlier report from Rapoport.
