Payton’s Belichick Record Gambit | Denver Broncos News
Description
Sean Payton pitched a wild plan to bring Bill Belichick in for a short stint to help break Don Shula’s all-time wins record—Payton would step down to assistant coach, then reclaim the head job once the milestone was hit.

Even though it never happened, the proposal underscores Belichick’s enduring legend and the high-stakes chess match behind NFL coaching moves.
