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.
