Sean Payton has seen better days … a lot better days. The one-time Super Bowl-winning head coach suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in NFL history on Sunday, with the Dolphins humiliating the Broncos 70-20.
Needless to say, Payton wasn’t overly thrilled with the team’s performance on the field. That trickled over into the press conference, where he got into a heated exchange with a reporter.
When a reporter attempted to get Payton’s thoughts on the outcome, the head coach snapped multiple times.
“What’s the question,” he said. “What’s the question?!” When the reporter then asked for how Payton felt about the game, he responded, “I just finished telling you. Next question.”

No head coach is going to be thrilled to speak with reporters after that type of outcome. Clearly, Payton just wanted to get out of the stadium as quickly as possible.
I mean, what can you really say after suffering a 50-point loss?
