The NFL’s five head coach vacancies are fast approaching. As is often the case, when one person hires, the others quickly follow suit.
Some believe the Broncos can go first Wednesday. Former Stanford University coach David Shaw has also emerged as a strong contender.
Sean Payton has multiple jobs. The prospect of Payton waiting for her year is starting to gain momentum. As of Wildcard weekend, it reported that it was a 50/50 proposition for Peyton to get the job this year or wait until 2024.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was also interviewed for a Denver job. He coached the Falcons his six seasons and took them to Super Bowl LI. He is believed to bring in former Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevel. It’s not known if former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is on board with that possibility.
