The NFL released the list of finalists for the NFL Coach of the Year honor and, surprisingly, Los Angeles Charger head coach, Jim Harbaugh, was not on it.

With the news Friday that the Las Vegas Raiders have hired Peter Carroll to be their head coach, the AFC West might now lay claim to having the most successful quartet of coaches in NFL history. At the very least,

Drew Brees left the Los Angeles Chargers as a free agent in 2006, joined the New Orleans Saints, and embarked on an incredible 15-year stint with the franchise.

As of Friday, the four coaches of the AFC West are as follows: Pete Carroll with the Las Vegas Raiders, Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs, Sean Payton with the Denver Broncos, and Jim Harbaugh with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Former Saints head coach Sean Payton took to social media Wednesday to challenge legendary former Alabama head coach Nick Saban on his recollection of how Drew Brees ended up in New Orleans in 2006. Nineteen years ago, Saban was entering his second campaign as the head coach of the Dolphins following a 9-7 season.

The Broncos were projected to max out at five wins with the NFL’s “worst” roster in 2024. Sean Payton instead took them to the playoffs.

Just four teams have drafted fewer players than the Saints since they promoted Mickey Loomis to GM. Years of trade gambles haven’t paid off:

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is unlikely to hire special teams coach Mike Westhoff, but that doesn't mean the guru can't assist in the hiring process.

The Broncos are looking to be elite. The post Former Sean Payton Cohort Linked to Broncos After Surprising Decision appeared first on Heavy Sports.

A common joke is that the NFL stands for “Not For Long.” Players have relatively short careers, and head coaches have very little job security. Which coaches have developed a program consistent enough to be perennial contenders?
