Colin Cowherd (whom I listen to daily) is known for his strong and sometimes outrageous takes. However, he also backs up his claims on why he goes with those takes.
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton was a frequent guest of Cowherd’s in 2022, and Cowherd often sings his praises as a bright coach with an impressive understanding of offensive football. So it makes sense that despite the Broncos not making the playoffs with an 8-9 record last fall, Cowherd still puts Payton as a top coach in the league. How high? Top 5. Number four, to be exact:
Payton’s pedigree as a Super Bowl-winning coach has preceded him in Denver. But is this ranking too high, or just right? On one hand, Payton has turned the Broncos from a five-win to an eight-win team. On the other hand, it isn’t the playoff or Super Bowl-contending results expected from his big contract. Be that as it may, Payton will have to produce wins to validate his top-five rating bestowed upon him by Cowherd.
