Some coaching trees are stumps. But Sean Payton‘s features multiple branches that continue grow this offseason.
Coach Dan Campbell worked for Payton with the Saints before engineering the Detroit Lions’ revival. Their relationship has helped lead to multiple transactions recently. In searching for a replacement for Ben Johnson, Campbell plucked Broncos passing game coordinator John Morton to lead the Lions offense, making him the coordinator on Tuesday, a source confirmed.
Morton worked for Campbell in 2022 with the Lions and helped the Broncos offense improve the past two years under Payton, which included the blossoming of rookie quarterback Bo Nix in 2024.
When Johnson took over as the Bears coach last week, he, too, looked to the Broncos. Perhaps it was because of a suggestion from Campbell or just coincidence. But he made Broncos tight ends coach Declan Doyle his new OC. Johnson will call the plays, but Doyle will be counted on to help quarterback Caleb Williams improve in his sophomore season. Bills offensive boss Joe Brady also worked with Payton in New Orleans, and began getting head coaching interviews in the latest hiring cycle.
