Is it Broncos vs. Fox for Sean Payton? What does Dan Quinn need to do differently in interview this time around? Those two rank as the top candidates.
DENVER — Snowflakes cascaded across Colorado on Tuesday night, their shape evolving on their journey to the Earth's surface.
That leaves Payton, Quinn, former Colts and Lions coach Jim Caldwell, Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, ex-Stanford coach David Shaw, Broncos defensive boss Ejiro Evero and Ryans. Will Payton trust Penner to give him control and stay out of the way regarding football decisions? Will Penner see Payton's demeanor as confidence or arrogance? And will Penner be open to Payton wanting his hand-picked general manager? When I appeared on WWL radio in New Orleans on Tuesday night, Bobby Hebert and Mike Detillier suggested Payton would want to bring former Bears GM and 14-year Saints executive Ryan Pace or Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland with him.
The Broncos' previous three head coaches — Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio and Nathaniel Hackett — entered the job with no head coaching experience at any level. There was talk a few weeks ago that Payton would want Fangio as his defensive coordinator. Fangio has interviewed with the Panthers and talked with the Falcons on Wednesday about their DC job.
