"Payton has been in NFL coaching circles since the late 1990s, ascending to the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints in 2006 and spending 15 seasons across two stints with the organization (Payton didn't coach the 2012 season due to a suspension). He led the organization to nine trips to the postseason -- including a win at Super Bowl XLIV -- before retiring at the end of the 2021 campaign."
"After a year away from coaching, Payton returned to the NFL to lead the Broncos, with their record steadily improving under his tutelage. A 10-7 record with a wild-card exit last season has turned into a 14-3 mark and a trip to the conference championship, one win away from the team's first Super Bowl since 2015."
"Perhaps the best modern example of a coach who found a stronger second wind at a second coaching destination, Reid enjoyed a successful 14-season spell with the Philadelphia Eagles -- including eight regular seasons with double-digit wins -- but came up just short in his lone trip to the Super Bowl. Following his time with the Eagles, Reid headed west to take over the Kansas City Chiefs -- a decision that would prove wise. Reid got the Chiefs humming, finally breaking through in 2019 for his first Super Bowl win in a lengthy coaching career ... and then two more in the five seasons after that."
Sean Payton rose through NFL coaching ranks beginning in the late 1990s and became New Orleans Saints head coach in 2006. Payton spent 15 seasons across two stints with the Saints, missed 2012 due to suspension, led the team to nine postseason appearances and won Super Bowl XLIV, then retired after the 2021 season. Payton returned after a year away to coach the Denver Broncos, improving the team from 10-7 and a wild-card exit to 14-3 and a conference championship appearance. One more win would send Payton to the Super Bowl and place him among coaches who led two franchises there.
