Denver Broncos‘ newly appointed head coach Sean Payton didn’t stay mum after recent criticism of his operational methods. A Mile High Sports radio host and reporter went after Payton’s lackluster handling of the new job at hand. And Payton wasn’t just going to sit by and listen.

Co-host of the Morning Drive on Mile High Sports, Eric Goodman, thinks Sean Payton is taking too long to gather his coaching ensemble. However, it looks as though Goodman hadn’t researched enough, owing to Payton’s secretive methods. And that gave the former Saints HC the perfect reply opportunity.

Who all are going to fill the remaining positions?

Based on Payton’s offensive expertise, the majority of the sixteen coaches hired are assumed to have filled the offensive duties. And with the Broncos keeping a lid on their hiring activities, some pretty big names have flown in and out of Dove Valley in the last few days and weeks.
