Sean Payton is walking back his biting comments on predecessor Nathaniel Hackett’s stint in Denver.
The former New Orleans Saints head coach also took shots at the Jets during his interview with USA Today, implying that the team is “trying to win the offseason” and public relations game rather than put in the work – comments that“As far as what we have going on here, you know I kind of live by a saying that, ‘If you ain’t got no haters, you ain’t poppin.’ ’ So hate away,” Saleh said Thursday.
“I think the world of Robert,” he said. “I know him. I don’t know Nathaniel. But at the right time. It certainly will bring more interest in the game when we play them, but that seems like years from now. But I’ll handle it the right way.”The Broncos disappointed last season, going 5-12 and finishing last in the AFC West during the first year of the Russell Wilson era in Denver.
“There’s so much dirt around that,” Payton told USA Today. “There’s 20 dirty hands, for what was allowed, tolerated in the fricking training rooms, the meeting rooms. The offense. I don’t know Hackett. A lot of people had dirt on their hands. It wasn’t just Russell. He didn’t just flip. He still has it.
