Episode Details

Sean Payton reportedly hatched a wild 2024 plan to bring Bill Belichick to the Denver Broncos as head coach—temporarily—so Belichick could chase Don Shula’s all-time wins record, while Payton ran the offense as assistant head coach. The scheme, born from their shared Parcells era, was deemed too complicated and ultimately never materialized. Meanwhile, Payton led the Broncos to an 8-9 record in 2023, nearly making the playoffs before QB Bo Nix’s season-ending injury derailed their run. The episode reveals the intricate, often surreal strategies behind NFL front offices—and why Belichick’s 2024 pursuit was never just about coaching.
