'Everybody’s got a little stink on their hands,” Payton told USA Today. “It’s not just (quarterback) Russell (Wilson). It was a (poor) offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That’s how bad it was.”
ENGLEWOOD — Don't look for Sean Payton and Nathaniel Hackett to exchange Hallmark cards anytime soon.
That was a jab. Wednesday, Payton delivered a haymaker in an exclusive interview with USA Today, saying Hackett's coaching performance"might have been one of the worst in NFL history." The Broncos have missed the playoffs seven straight years and posted six consecutive losing seasons, the longest streak since 1963-72, pre-dating their entrance to the NFL. The offense bottomed out last season, averaging a league-worst 16.9 points per game. Wilson posted career lows in touchdowns and completion percentage . He received a cascade of criticism for his play, office in the building, social media posts and tone deaf"Let's Ride" endings to press conferences after losses.
Payton said the Broncos were embarrassed last season. His messaging is always intentional. In a move out of the Bill Parcells playbook, Payton is taking the attention and pressure, providing players cover, while insisting that he will be upset if the Broncos don’t reach the playoffs. This confidence and urgency has not been lost on players.
