Former NFL player Ryan Clark criticized Sean Payton’s behavior as the head coach of the Denver Broncos, calling it “boorish unprofessionalism.” Clark highlighted the contrast between Payton’s treatment of Russell Wilson and former quarterback Drew Brees, suggesting that there may be an underlying issue between Payton and Wilson. Despite personal reservations about Wilson, Clark acknowledged the validity of Payton’s perceived unprofessional conduct.
“Let’s be honest: Sean Payton has behaved as a thug since he became the coach of the Denver Broncos. Immediately when he gets in the building, he starts to undercut Russell Wilson personally and professionally from his first press conference on.”

Further Ryan Clark said: Russell Wilson and Sean Payton – a personality and schematic mismatch, urging professional accountability in coaching.
I don’t think there was a thing Russell Wilson could do to make Sean Payton like him. From a personality standpoint, it was a bad match. Schematically, it was a bad match. But my point is this—let’s hold Sean Payton to some sort of professional accountability. His behavior as the head coach of the Denver Broncos is unacceptable. If I’m the Walton family, I do not want somebody representing me this way.
