INDIANAPOLIS — Sean Payton is stepping into a new phase of his decades-long head coaching career.
The Broncos head coach confirmed Tuesday that he is handing primary offensive play calling responsibility to new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Payton said he would still call some plays and be heavily involved in game planning.
Payton once temporarily handed the work to former assistant Pete Carmichael when Payton fractured his leg and had to watch games from the box, but he has otherwise been the primary play caller every year he’s coached since he arrived in New Orleans as the head coach there in 2006.
“He’s extremely talented,” Payton said of Webb at the NFL Combine. “With regards to play-calling, it’s something that I think he’ll be really good at it. I know it’s like, man, are you going to give up play-calling? And I would only do that if I thought it was going to help our team.
“I’ll still be involved with what we do offensively, just like with what we do defensively. But I do think he has a gift. I think he’s real sharp. I’m glad on he’s on our staff.”
