Who’s going to be the next Broncos head coach? One name is rising to the top, according to one oddsmaker.
Former Saints head coach Sean Payton has -110 odds — meaning a $110 bet would win $100 — to become the successor to Nathaniel Hackett in Denver, according to Draftkings Sportsbook on Tuesday.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is next at +275, followed by 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans (+400), Broncos interim head coach Jerry Rosburg (+1,200), former Lions coach Jim Caldwell (+1,500), former Stanford coach David Shaw (+1,500) and Denver defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero (+1,800).
It’s a leap for Payton from last week when he had +225 odds, behind then-frontrunner Quinn’s +150.
Some notable longshots on the list include former Broncos quarterbacks Peyton Manning (+10,000) and John Elway (+15,000), former Denver receiver Jerry Rice (+15,000) and Hall of Fame tight end turned Grizzlies criticizer Shannon Sharpe (+15,000).
