Sheesh. Sean Payton knows he left the New Orleans Saints and walked into a mess, telling USA TODAY Sports’ Jarrett Bell that the 2022 Denver Broncos “might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That’s how bad it was.”
Payton took aim at ex-Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett and his staff in a lengthy interview, pointing to the number of areas in which Denver fell flat after stunning the NFL world in a blockbuster trade for quarterback Russell Wilson. The team Payton inherited ranked last in points scored, and he knows it’ll take a lot of hard work to clean it up.
