We can add another name to the list of New Orleans Saints assistant coaches who may be following Sean Payton to the Denver Broncos. Nola.com’s Jeff Duncan reports that offensive assistant Kevin Petry has been offered a role on the Broncos’ coaching staff under Payton, who gave him his start in the NFL with the Saints. Petry is a Louisiana native and LSU graduate, so moving to Denver would be a big change.
Payton is actively filling out his staff from New Orleans’ roster, offering promotions to coaches like Zach Strief, Declan Doyle, and Petry while considering roles for a group of former Saints coaches that includes Dan Roushar, Kris Richard, and Joe Lombardi. Payton made a lot of connections over the years in New Orleans so some departures should be expected.
