As the regular season was winding down and Broncos’ coordinators were getting calls for coaching positions around the league, head coach Sean Payton recalled similar poaching while he was with the Saints.
And he told ownership then what he told reporters again a few weeks ago — you shouldn’t be worried when other teams are coming for your coaches. You should be worried when they don’t.
Well, Greg Penner and Gary Paton don’t need to worry then because the coaching staff has been a hot commodity around the NFL of late. Passing game coordinator John Morton is reportedly headed to the Lions, TE coach Declan Doyle signed on to the Bears’ OC job and assistant GM Darren Mougey is moving on to the Jets’ front office.
