Sean Payton Denies He Didn’t Want to Coach Kyler Murray

Broncos coach Sean Payton has addressed a report that stated he didn’t want the Cardinals coaching job because of quarterback Kyler Murray. 

Payton, who was linked to Arizona’s coaching vacancy, allegedly “didn’t want to work with that quarterback” in reference to Murray, according to Payton’s former Fox Sports coworker, Terry Bradshaw. However, in a Thursday interview on the Up & Adams show, Payton was asked why the internet thought he hated Murray, which he vehemently denied. 

“I don’t hate Kyler Murray,” Payton said. “I like Kyler Murray. My son is his biggest fan. After the interview [with the Cardinals], my son sent me a combination of all his high school throws, college throws. I think, the other day Terry Bradshaw was interviewed, and I love Terry, that group I worked with has been amazing. But when Terry gets interviewed, you hold your breath because you don’t know what’s going to come out.
