Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Jul 07 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony react to a wild Seth Wickersham report claiming Sean Payton once considered a plan to hire Bill Belichick as Broncos head coach until he broke Don Shula's all-time wins record, with Payton stepping down to offensive coordinator and reclaiming the job afterward. The hosts call the idea "lunacy" and question how a proud, established coach could ever hand over the keys to his franchise, drawing comparisons to the messy Parcells-to-Belichick Jets transition years ago. Despite the absurdity, Ken admits he still trusts Payton given his rapid turnaround of the Broncos from cap hell to a 14-3 season, saying he'd take him over Todd Monken in Cleveland in a heartbeat, while Anthony pushes back hard on the entire premise as pure carnival sideshow.
