Sean Payton does not like being lied on.
The Saints head coach, who is expected to be moving on to a new team, took to Twitter and denied reports about a potential problem with Denver Broncos ownership, saying he had a “great visit” and that “ownership was fantastic” during their meeting.
“Zero truth to this. We had a great visit and @Broncos Ownership was fantastic!!” Payton wrote.
Mark Maske of the Washington Post initially reported Payton “fears a potential power struggle with a member of the ownership group” after interviewing with the team.
Denver is a team that has been largely connected to Payton and considered a favorite to land him, per Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com, after the two sides met for several hours in Los Angeles last week.

Payton also interviewed with the Carolina Panthers, but the vacancy was filled by Frank Reich on Thursday.
He has also interviewed with the Houston Texans.
If he is taking his talents to Denver, the franchise will be giving up at least a first round pick in a trade for him. If Broncos’ ownership thinks he can fix Russell Wilson, they will do that and more.
