A front-runner has emerged in the race for former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, from the vantage point of the 59-year-old’s preference.
According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the Denver Broncos appear to be Payton’s desired landing spot as he likes them as an organization, admires the ownership, and would be happy to work with Russell Wilson.
Wilson’s struggles in his first year as the team’s quarterback beckon concern, considering his hefty contract. Pairing him up with a coach of Payton’s caliber is bound to be interesting, at the very least.
Maske also noted that the Dallas Cowboys could insert themselves into the sweepstakes if they opt to move on from Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the nearing postseason and it’s believed that an early exit could cost McCarthy his job.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insists that Sunday’s result will have no immediate bearing on McCarthy’s future yet that isn’t expected to hold any weight should the Cowboys find themselves languishing in disappointment again.

The Cowboys possibly deciding to move on from their current HC isn’t expected to impact Payton’s decision, though.
