New head coach Sean Payton addressed the proverbial elephant in the room last week at the Combine when he told the media just why he hired Vance Joseph to be his defensive coordinator.
“Rex [Ryan], Matt , Sean Desai—all those guys—were outstanding.” Payton said. “But in the end, there were a few things that I felt that Vance was going to bring—and not necessarily because he had experience in Denver—but really, more what he was able to do, believe it or not, in Arizona. That was a tough job for a number of years. So we’re excited to have him on our defensive staff.
