Good morning, Broncos Country.
Roll back the clocks a few years ago and doom and gloom clouded the minds of many across Broncos Country.
And for good reason. The short-lived Nathaniel Hackett experience and the failed Russell Wilson trade reasonably made the most optimistic fans turn pessimistic in a real hurry. In order to get the franchise back to their winning ways, the Denver Broncos needed a coach with experience to help get the proverbial train back on the track.
While their preliminary coaching pursuit started elsewhere, the Broncos wound up trading off premium draft capital to the New Orleans Saints to make Sean Payton the franchise’s 20th head coach.
