Payton mulls stepping down to help Belichick break record

After the Patriots fired Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, who had just finished his first year with the Broncos, entertained the notion of stepping aside as assistant head coach to focus on running the offense. Payton believed this could help Belichick reach Don Shula’s 347‑win milestone, a goal that would have required 15 more victories. The proposal, however, was ultimately dismissed as overly complex and תא unrealistic, according to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham. noplasticplease.life
