Over the course of his introductory news conference as the Broncos new head coach, Sean Payton told stories about his days in New Orleans, about a car trip through Denver gone awry decades ago and about what it takes, in his mind, to build a championship team.
Flanked by general manager George Paton and CEO Greg Penner, he expressed confidence in the top level of Denver’s franchise but also said change is coming for a team that hasn’t made the playoffs the past seven years.
He likened driving home every Sunday night after his work as a FOX analyst as akin to being able to see the lights of the racetrack and smell the fuel without actually having his own race car.
