Sean would make an amazing politician the way he danced around that Russ answer was a masterclass
No dance. It was more like; "Look... we are looking for a new car, but if we can't find one, the car we have will be what we drive"
I've been saints fan my entire life, since I was 10 years old in 1990. I know coach Payton well. Believe you me, he WISHES he could tell the truth, he really does. He has been instructed and forced to lie. Likely to protect any trade value Wilson has. Lol you aint never met somebody who likes to tell the truth as much as Payton. He really is his father's son, and by that I mean to say if you're talking to coach Payton if you closed your eyes you'd swear you were listening to coach Bill Parcells himself.
“Me and Russ have a great relationship.” And the lie detector determined that was a lie.
Source: "Trust me Bro"
drben , you are so funny! This conversation tells me the owners have told Sean Payton, " Look, we are not going to pay two QBs. We are not going to pay Russell Wilson to leave when he brought the Broncos up to 2nd and third seed position this year!"
So, you are going to have to work with Russ until his contract expires, or we will find a coach who can work with him!"
Payton has some fire kicks
I wonder which kicks those areee ??
So apparently he is the only NFL coach to have a shoe deal supposedly its with Jump man. Heard that tid bit on the local radio not to long ago.
@@msald7763those are Jordan 11 that color way is pretty mid but there’s way better ones just my opinion tho!
That was 15 minutes of “I’m not saying squat about anything you ask.”
Great question about the onside kick in the SB and getting a behind the curtains look at his mindset. Fantastic as always Rich.
Was fascinating.
Saints fan here. The play was called "ambush" and he actually had to speak with the referees about it before the game even started so they were ready and could call the play properly. He just didn't tell them WHEN lol. Lots of folks don't know this, and don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE coach Payton, always will, but that superbowl was all God. That entire season was filled with so many miracles you can't count them. God did it. He used Coach Payton, but make no mistake,
God did all the heavy lifting. From Drew even coming here to our owner miraculously deciding after 30 years to actually spend money for once yo individual plays ( like sharper having 5 pick 6s on the year) I could go on and on.
Sean would make a good pol. Amazing non answer about Russ. One of the best I've ever heard.
Because he’s a professional and the decision hasn’t been made yet. Try it sometime
He doesn’t have an answer for that right now. He quite literally said the evaluation period for the QB position (or any position) hasn’t even begun yet. The day after the Super Bowl is when they start developing their offseason plan.
@@ethanlculver That decision has been made. Their relationship is shot. His injury guarantee is over $30m. Cutting him in March means over $80m dead cap hit for '24. They have to wait until June 1 to spread the cap hit over 2 years.
@@CJK-bt4ll Probably. 95%. But Sean isn’t going to say that. No coach would say that in an interview before the offseason even begins. Duh. It’s called being a professional. Doesn’t sound like you’d be up to being a professional if you had to be.
@@Brendacho You think a guy like Payton is just getting started on the evaluations? He's thinking two years down the road & has already studied the QBs in the draft.
Broncos face a massive $85 million dead cap hit if they cut him in March. Broncos will designate Wilson as a post-June 1 cut & spread the hit out over two years, something like $35 million in 2024 & $50m in 2025.
If the Broncos have Wilson on the roster for the5th day of the '25 league year (March 17), another $37 million will be added to the Broncos’ contractual obligations (from the base salary).
That Super Bowl story is crazy
Great Question , he said on Wilson - LOL ,
Excellent interview, you can tell Sean genuinely likes Rich.
*obviously he danced around the Russell Wilson/QB question, what do you expect* still an entertaining interview in my book
He said Russ wants to come back……he clearly didn’t say he wants Russ back. So that was enough for me at this point. The narrative is in place. I’d say a 5% chance Russ is back. Based on how it looks at this point.
Of course russ isn't coming back...his teammates don't like him apparently, and his coach has almost no confidence in him at all,and by all accounts he is in decline. Add to that he ran to the media when they asked him to restructure his deal and made things a circus. We restructured Drew's deal every year,sometimes twice a year ( we're STILL paying him) and he never went running to the media. They're not gonna tell anyone they're gonna cut him, till after the draft so it doesn't hurt their chances of landing a QB, which will probably at #12 be Bo Nix. See in New orleans we were set to draft mahomes at 11 and got leapfrogged out of nowhere, so Sean learned from that lesson. The "russ is coming back" thing is all tied to the broncos need to DRAFT a QB.
Always love to hear from coach. Great personality and sense of humor.
Not a Broncos fan but I feel bad for Denver. They deserve better. Credibility and humility are not words I'd use to describe the current HC.
He's the NFL version of Doc Rivers. Living off that 1 championship, with a HoF QB.
The only difference is that Doc is actually very likeable in terms of personality. People love working with him; he's just a fine coach but not a good coach.
Sean Payton is an arrogant sack who takes no accountability. When the HC is good, you get all these players come out to the media and compliment them, aka Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, Pete Carroll and etc. I haven't seen one player come out and speak glowingly about Payton.
@@runningwithcat6195 Have you heard of a guy named Drew Brees? Seems to be a big fan of Payton. Just admit you dont know what you are talking about
Well we have been through several not arrogant, humble, nice guy coaches and it hasn’t worked out well so I'm good!
You are ridiculous. Sean Payton is a great professional, tells it like it is and is very very professional and authentic.
Great interview
Sean Payton talked about how he would coach Wilson and create a game plan for him, and then he threw Wilson under the bus when his coaching didn't work
Can’t coach the uncoachable…
Wilson is a tad arrogant
30 td and 8 ints is wild, narrative is all over the place. Russ played good but Payton didn’t coach well 😂😂😂 yeah alright
That was a whole lot of words to say we have no idea what we’re doing. lol
I'm born and Raised here in Louisiana. I will always be thankful for Coach Sean Payton when he was with the ⚜ He is a great coach
Remember Sean Peyton was giving bonuses to the Saints player who would hurt and put players out
Payton is clearly smarter than most. The game is about culture!
Sad how he has treated potential HOFer Russell Wilson.
You did Russ wrong, and I'm not a fan of Russ. If I were a player, I would never play for him. Glad he's coaching the donkeys. It fits his personality.
12 minutes in and not a single mention of russell wilson 😂
I think Sean Payton likes Russell Wilson as a person. He just doesn’t like him as a timing QB. Payton can embrace Wilson’s mobility and he still has a strong arm, because no one talks about it, but Russell Wilson threw the two longest passes in air yards this season. Russell Wilson just breaks the pocket earlier than Payton likes and Wilson never seemed to change this throughout the season, and Payton got fed up with it. The problem is that Jarrett Stidham was not a good replacement for the last two games, plus after Russell Wilson brought the Broncos back to tie the Patriots game with 2 minutes left in the game, Payton made the mistake of calling timeouts that basically help put the patriots in position to kick a FG for the win and Payton benched Wilson to get the attention off of him for losing the game more so than Wilson. The patriots were playing for overtime until Payton called those timeouts. Wilson would’ve won the Charger game the next week and gave the broncos a better chance to beat the Raiders than Stidham.
Seans offense's are progression reads and timing. Russ just rolls out and dances around in the pocket till someone is wide open. They just aren't a good fit. I dunno why Sean gets so much flack for not wanting this type of QB. People really don't understand football. Sean gave Russ probably one of his best years with TD schemes in the Redzone that left guys wide open. His playcalling was insane. I've been watching football for 30+ years and some of the redzone stuff he did blew my mind. We just need a better QB. That said, Russ still has some magic left and can succeed somewhere else too. In a more RPO system like in Baltimore.
your career is no f better than Russell's don't act like you are a football guru and RW is just some dumb not-Bree-like QB
It's funny the place I think is the best spot for russ nobody is talking about, MIAMI backing up Tua. Two similar playstyles and skill players that lend themselves to russ strengths.
Who knew Rich played softball 🎉😂
He opened last season with an onside kick and lost
Ask him about that
Imagine if Sean Payton were the coach of Denver during the 2022 season instead of Hackett. They wouldn't be in this situation right now.
Magnificent coach.
Off season better be better than last year!!! Guys better be in shape. Dont get crushed by the dolphins again.
Sounds to me like Russ is cooked.
Let's Cook!
Yeah rt you ready to get rid of Russ!! Good relationship huh!! Lie!! Coach if you take time let Russ play his game you guys will be a very dangerous team!!
Idk why but part of me hopes they find a way to keep Russ there, the free agent options aren’t great. Kirk is most likely going back to Minnesota, baker is most likely going back to Tampa, the options after that aren’t any better than Russ. Obviously you’d rather not pay him what his contract is but that’s an issue from the old regime you may just have to live with & they’re not high enough in the draft to get a qb worth anything
We don’t want him.
You need draft capital asap. His trade was terrible and he isn't worth it. Let him go to another needy team that will accept his Injury clause and invest in the future
Give up some of your salary. You’re not worth it. Wilson worth every penny. He could take over the offense.
Naw, sorry but your dead wrong. You all can't afford even a top "bridge QB" right now...much less Cousins. Even coming off injury. They sit at #12 with pat surtain, and Jerry Judy on rookie deals plus next years 1st 2nd and 3rd. It's funny I've been watching Payton so long and know the history so well ( the way the chiefs jumped us to steal mahomes at #10, same spot) I can tell you the play. They're going to be "keeping Wilson " until after the draft. They will draft a QB and it's likely to be a small trade up to say #8 or #9 to pick up Bo Nix. Or he may even fall there to #12 but I doubt Payton risks it. That's the play. Your welcome. Of all the QBs only really 3 fit Paytons system that's Drake Maye, Micheal Penix,and Bo Nix. Maye will go way too high. Penix likely will too but has past injury concerns so they'll stay away from him most likely. McCarthy is erratic. Nix is the pick, and Jaden Daniel's and Micheal Penix strong showing this year will create the perfect atmosphere for him to fall to #8-#12
This fool stuttered so much I thought something was wrong with my phone
As a Chargers fan i was very angry and disappointed when the Spanoses didnt hire Payton.
Now im glad they didnt and even more glad cuz we got Harbaugh and the Ponies have this guy. Who’s got it better than us?? NOBODY 😂😂⚡️⚡️
RAIDERS! ☠️🏴☠️
Hey win a ring first. Then talk to me 😂 Go Broncos!
And to answer your question of who has it better than us??? Chiefs. Yea don't chant that stupid crap.
Baker in Denver...🤔
Won’t happen. He’s getting a contract we can’t afford. Jj in the draft
Look I understand you alls frustration and cluelessness. You've had bad leadership so long you don't know what to expect. I've been a saints fan since I was 10 in 1990. I know coach well... you all are sitting so pretty and don't know it. Here is what will happen. You will hear NOTHING about the QB position the entire off-season. Payton will target Bo Nix in the upcoming draft ( that's why all the beating around the bush and non-answers) Payton is going to right the wrongs of the 2017 draft when the chiefs stole mahomes from Him/us. Now you can laugh me out the comments section and call me a boomer if you like I'm just telling you what's gonna happen so you fellas don't worry. He's gonna take Nix and find players to put around him ( I believe Courtland and Javonte are both safe they're his type of players, hard nosed,tough,play hard) and use him to go right after Reid and the chiefs. He literally does not care that the media and all of you worship the chiefs to him they are in the way. He us going to put together a team and own them. He's going to do it with YOUTH and specific matchups.
Such an over rated coach. He pissed away a first ballot hof qb by being pass happy it is truly sad that first run the 2006 nfccg that idiot refused to run the ball in Chicago in January and he is from there. The saints one season with true balance they won a ring.
As a huge broncos fan. I'm really not a fan of this guy.
When they hired him I said it is a big mistake and I got killed in the comment section. The Parcell’s tree is out of fashion now which is why Vrabel and Belicheck didn’t get hired but the Broncos didn’t get the 📝. Get prepared for lean times! The Chargers are going to improve under Harbaugh, the Chiefs and the Raiders all out to prove that the coach the players wanted to stay called is successful.
bounty boy Payton throwing Wilson under the bus the way he did is just another disgraceful moment in his grossly overrated career
hope he didn't hurt russ's feeling either, after all he's such a great QB.
Looks like Sean has been hitting the bottle in the off season.
How so?
@@Krazedehis face is swelled up, classic hitting the booze a bit hard look
That's not all! This is why he went off on Russ! They have that look and trouble staying focused!
Sean Payton is overrated. I can't wait for him to be fired...
As a chiefs fan!
I can’t wait until he’s fired too
He’s a loser
Over rated is your opinion 😂
Zach Wilson is going to Denver
Edit: because The Jets are to stupid to see what they've got. Zach will be a badass!
Payton going make the Broncos great again just wait! (Coming from an Atl fan that's just happy he's not an aint anymore)😂
Payton for Commisioner
If I am Russell Wilson I will be a fool to return to the Broncos after what happened this past season on the sidelines with is on tape forever
Sean probably punches air every morning for not waiting a year for the Charger job.
Giants upset SF because Joe got hurt and taken out of the game. Stop with the Payton butt kissing. Ask him about his year suspension! Ask him about his and the Donkeys CS treatment of Wilson!
I think what alot of broncos fans are missing is that Russel Wilson's physical ability is in decline, because of this he even "hears footsteps now". Sean doesn't hate Russ, it's just he JUST went through this for 3-4 years with an actual hall of fame QB who was a precision pocket passer that did all the little things right( all the little things Russ doesnt do)...and we still couldn't get back to the superbowl, even with a top 10 defense. You have to make the defense defend every blade of grass, or in pressure situations you go out like Drew did in his last game against Tampa in the playoffs, or like russ has the last couple of seasons. It's quite possible he just saw no future in it. I will say that negotiating such a ridiculously over the top contract and yourself an office like you're part of management probably didn't endear russ to anyone. The whole reason Payton left us in New orleans was he wanted a clean slate, a fresh start, not trying to win with someone else's accrued bad decisions. With 6-7 potential starting QBs in this draft I just believe Payton could see the ceiling with russ on this team and in this system and made a judgement call. Everyone whining about how Mims is used need to realize he is a rookie. No one gets to play on paytons teams based on talent alone. I've seen him draft a 1000 yard rusher out of Ohio state in the top 125 picks no less and cut him before the season even started in favor of a UDFA that never gained over 700 yards in a season...but averaged over 4 yards a carry for his career and helped the saints win a superbowl. He doesn't grade players by measurables, stats or physical measurables. He grades them on execution and understanding of the playbook...in paytons offense it's the NUANCES that kill, the weekly wrinkle, the wrinkle upon the wrinkle upon the wrinkle in week 13 you can get to work in the 4th quarter because THE DEFENSE HAS NEVER SEEN IT. If you're a one trick pony though and you can't master the nuance there's not a whole lot to build on to be successful.
This guy loves to hear himself talk.
he’s literally just answering questions. like what
Exactly what I thought. Just would not stop blabbing
Who would listen to Payton. Other players should beware hog signing with the broncos. Payton cannot find a way to coach some of the best players. He’s not a coach.
Has no idea what he is doing😂😂😂 disrespecting your qb only to turn around and and say you want him😂😂😂
Sean Payton is the worst.. lol
I see turbo tax sponsors Rich's show. So ill ban it, and use H&R Block
Broncos need to trade Wilson and salvage whatever they can get for him. Go get Bo Nix or someone to invest in. Someone like Brees who Payton is familiar with
No one is trading for any of these 50 million dollar QBs. Not even Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Hirts or Dak Prescott is worth trading for with a 50 million dollar price tag on them. Patrick Mahomes is the only QB worth that kind of money and maybe Aaron Rodgers if he’s healthy, because they’ve won a Super Bowl before. Russell is worth it more than those other guys because he’s won it also, but in reality, having any QB other than Mahomes will handicap your team from acquiring other players needed to fill positions on the team. If the Broncos had Josh Allen, they’ll turn the ball over more than Wilson did, might go 10-7 and for sure lose in the playoffs because Josh Allen is a choke artist, but everyone will make excuses for Josh Allen losing.
Look!! I always talk like I’m the smartest guy in the room🙄
Does he say “look” a lot?
Man, did he answer even ones question properly? Was he drunk during the interview?
Major D Bag
The chiefs played 2 decimated defenses and a raven's rookie fumbled into the endzone. KC is coming off a half where they were shut out and the 49ers are coming off a half where they scored 27 points, let's not exaggerate the chiefs being hot when they haven't scored 30 points all post season.
Imma hit you up in about 10 hours and see how you feel
It’s been more than 10 hours but how do you feel?
@23gaming12b that it took a botched punt and missed XP just for lucky mahomes to get into OT? He didn't do anything special, the 49ers lost its not debatable.
We need to fucking win sb 59
Y’all got spoiled with Peyton stick behind the line
Let’s have Russ fight Peyton bare knuckles…
Rich I love you but, this guy is miles away from head Coach material. Laughing stock of the NFL
Lamar threw so poorly against KC that almost NFL team could have them beaten them that day.
Payton starting to look like the Airheads candy balloon face
Russ is cooked. Atlanta can have him.
Y’all do t even know how to gather I formatio
This guy should be fired by week 8 man... He only won because he had Drew Brees and a DC who was paying players to injure opponents.
Sean Payton sucks.
Quick possibly one of the biggest dirtbags associated with the game. He’s worse than a politician.
awkward interview
I didn’t get that vibe
@@vw2430 didn't mean in terms of tension between host and guest. I meant Payton sounded off, and didn't give much care to being interviewed.
Reduce soft tissue injuries? Bounty? Hmmm?
Really lost all faith in this person… you realise he has lost his mojo by the way he waffles his answers
They got what they deserved and its not over. Denver is toast and will be bottom feeders in the Afc West for years to come.
Man if you said it... It must be true 😮
One of the most overrated coach’s of all time.
Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders need to beat KC.. Tired of seeing this garbage every year.
Payton and Wilson are like oil and water-I think Wilson has had his day and he should take his 39 milion and walk away
Peyton is half a step down from Urban Mite on satans ring of honor.
I'm not a Broncos or Russell Wilson fan but how many coaches with losing seasons, walking around the festivities, doing interviews, wearing his Jordans that he's being paid to do while wearing a Super Bowl ring that he won 14 years ago, on his married RING finger!? Im sorry Broncos fans, you guys have a selfish, has-been, overrated coach who used a Super Bowl winning, future HOF QB as his whipping boy to hide his inadequacy as a HC in today's NFL.
Dude doesn’t even have the decency to wear Broncos brand clothing. WHERE has anyone ever seen a winning culture with a HC who constantly belittles their starting QB? I'll wait.
Payton so overrated
Terrible coach and speaker!
It seems to me that Payton sure has a problem stringing together a sentence without pausing, stalling, stuttering & getting his thoughts straight. Maybe thats why Russell had a hard time, it took too long for Peyton to send me the plays. BTW i think Peyton is over-rated.
Sean Payton. A Bill Parcells wanna be.
Play calling was fN terrible! Why didn't he fire Vance Joseph!
Peyton sucks! What a little Napoleon piece.
The O needed a spark so he went with Stidham??? DOES HE Really BELIEVE HIS OWN BULLCRAP???? This clown pulled off greater con job than Wilson did on the dumb Broncos owner
Hilarious! Cheater and liar Payton is a disgrace to the NFL. Broncos will suffer miserably due to the bad karma from Bountygate, "pocket full of drugs" and drunk Payton.
One of the most overrated coaches ever. His SB win will was made possible by gambling on an onside kick.
Russ is toast
U can tell he's a coach! Not one straight answer he all over the place
He does that on purpose. If you listen closely and infer by tone, body language and expression he will give you all the answers that you need. Did he say anything was "completely unfounded" nope he espoused his relationship vehemently but never espoused Wilson's future with the team with the same gusto. He benched him, same as Raiders did Carr. I think Wilson can still play, not like he once did, and that's the problem. Sean went through this with drew once already.
The Broncos have to watch the train go by, because they have neither cap space nor draft capital
He should be in jail for paying people to hurt football players.
Yes.
15 years. Fifteen. 5478 days. How long you’ve been crying.
Wow! Russ and his wife JUST put their house 🏠 up for sale in Colorado. It's on FOX31 Denver. Sean is lying and trying to dodge the question and cover his own rear because he doesn't want to take any more heat for how he treated Russ over Brees.
Payton is a fraud. Whatever was going on with Russ last season, he did not deserve the disrespect from Payton on the sideline. I do not expect the Broncos to much during his tenure as HC.
russ got just what he deserved, stop the whining already!
Sean is as good of a BS artist as they come. Dude’s a sleaze ball.
"He and i have a great relationship...."... 🤣😂☠️🤨
This is what a lie looks like, study it lol
sez the warden about his convict
Miss seeing him in a Saints visor. Broncos be patient, he’s a hell of a coach
Used to be
@@ryanandtheworldhe still is wym like wtf bro we don’t even have our puzzle together wait til we have our team together and we will be coming for the afc
As a bronco fan, I can only hope he knows what he’s doing … maybe the mess Hackett left was worse than imagined..
The dude had 4 losing seasons with Drew Brees at QB, nevermind with Russ or whoever else in the future
@@173jaSon371Those losing seasons were when we had the leagues worst defenses in each of those 4 seasons.
As a saints fan, trust me bro y’all will be fine. It just took the first year to rework the building, it’s up from there. He showed growth by being able to get Russ turned around and by being able to beat the chiefs and bills. Sean’s specialty is he’s gonna figure out the other teams weakness and exploit it to victory. And you throw in a high level QB & he’ll really start clowning opponents
@@will3prAnd you had top 5ish defenses in all your winning seasons
It wasn't. He could've made Russ work. He showed that he could. He also showed that he didn't want him to succeed. Russ worked well out of shotgun. Anyone with eyes could see it. Sean forced him under center to sell a run game that never got going because despite the stats, our OL was hot garbage.
He's disingenuous.
I think russ proved he wasn't a bad QB this year, but I also think he proved that he wasn't a good fit for a Payton offense...and that's ok, Jameis wasn't either really, and as much as I love Taysom he struggled too...but Teddy B made it look very easy. So did Drew. They could pass for 150 yards and totally control the flow of the game.
Mark it down: QB Spencer Rattler to Broncos
Dudes smaaht huh
"I have a great relationship with Russ." Um, okaaaay. Is it Cap Busting great?
I swear I'd die of shock if even one of you spoke even passable English, but you're all too damn cool 😎 👌
Sean Payton has a future in politics. If that's how well he can dance around questions without answering them, no wonder teams keep wanting to hire him.
You prefer he say " yeah, hey other 31 nfl teams, we will be targeting a QB in this upcoming draft at picks #8-#12 so go ahead and leapfrog us" come on bro use your head. It's pre draft and the broncos can't afford a FA QB. Nor Can they afford 50 million a year for mediocre. They tried to work with Wilson to limit the teams financial exposure due to his regression and aging but he was combative and ran to the media. They weren't even taking it from him, just asked him to delay it a couple months, and he cried to the press. We used to restructure Drew's deal every year, sometimes twice a year. In fact we are still paying Drew. Im a saints fan since 1990 when I was 10, I know coach Payton well. He is likely drafting Bo Nix. That's the play. But nothing will point to that. They will talk about Daniel's, Caleb, or Maye but the target is Nix. I just know. Bit anyway you can't tip your hand my dude. There are sharks in the water that smell blood and love to see denver stay on the bottom. Paytons not gonna let that happen. Like Marlo Stanfield "his name is his name" you'll see. Pat Surtain and Jerry jeudy will likely be traded along with pick 12, and next years 1st...this is because you need a LT and a QB much more than you need a CB and an underperforming wr. With a good QB Payton can protect a defense.
