Broncos head coach Sean Payton is showing interest in bringing a number of Saints employees to Denver with him.

Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Saints quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Ronald Curry will interview to become the Broncos offensive coordinator. Curry joined Payton’s staff in New Orleans in 2016 as an offensive assistant and also worked as the team’s wide receivers coach before moving on to work with quarterbacks in 2021.

Curry has also interviewed for the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator vacancy.

The news on Curry comes after Monday brought word that the Broncos are pushing to hire Saints assistant offensive line coach Zach Strief as their top offensive line coach. Strief played 12 years with the Saints before joining Payton’s staff for his final season in New Orleans.

Duncan reports that the Broncos have also made an offer to Saints assistant to the head coach/offensive assistant Kevin Petry and Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports that Saints offensive assistant Declan Doyle is up for tight ends coach in Denver.

  2. Wow! This guy is awesome. He was National High School Player of the Year in both football and basketball.

  4. Payton does all the play calling. It’s strange/interesting when the HC is really the coordinator. I’d guess the coordinator just becomes a ‘yes’ man to keep their job.

  5. Curry was pretty much a bust at UNC in both football and basketball. Yes, national HS player of the year coming from the 757 in Virginia, committing to UVA on an ESPN national broadcast with two of his HS teammates, before Nike swooped in and redirected him to UNC. Sort of a generation ahead on NIL, I suppose. Never lived up to hype as QB and worse as a point guard. Serviceable as a WR for the Raiders for a few years at least and sounds like he has found a niche in coaching.

    Didn’t live up to the enormous hype, but a bust?

    He left school as their all-time passing yardage and total yardage leader. Won 2 Bowl games, MVP in both, after Mack Brown left, with constant turnover.

    3 of his offensive assistants have been named head coaches;

    Dan Campbell, Doug Marrone, Aaron Kromer (after the Bounty Gate suspension)
