The Denver Broncos just concluded one of the most inept failures of a season in the history of the franchise. Yet, now that Nathaniel Hackett is out the door and many signs point to Sean Payton, a Super Bowl-winning coach with 10 or more wins in nine of 15 years as a head coach, as replacement, excitement should be flowing into the seats, right?
Not so fast.
Would a guy like Payton be worthy of fan optimism, relief, and the belief that much better days are ahead? Sure. The man’s record speaks for himself.
