My Take
I think of Sean Payton as a coach who carries a city's emotions on his shoulders. Steering the New Orleans Saints to their first Super Bowl in the 2009 season, just years after Hurricane Katrina, gave that win a weight that went far beyond football for me. What I admire is that he didn't coast on that legacy; taking over the Denver Broncos shows a restlessness I respect in someone who'd already reached the mountaintop. He's also intriguing because his playing days bounced between the NFL fringes and Canadian football before he made his real mark on the sideline. That's a long, unglamorous road to the top.
