Far from it.The Broncos’ offensive coordinator spent 10 seasons as a quarterbacks coach and two as an offensive assistant under the Super Bowl-winning coach in New Orleans. The countless hours in meeting rooms and on the sidelines means Lombardi is well-versed in Payton’s fiery attitude, unwavering self-assuredness and extreme attention to detail.In Denver, Lombardi is among seven coaches on the staff with a previous relationship with Payton.Payton’s reasoning behind adding some New Orleans flavor to his Broncos’ staff was simple: They know what he wants.And for Payton to be competitive first season in Denver, he needed coaches to deliver his expectations to the players while he’s busy with other obligations as he attempts a franchise turnaround.“When we have to make a decision, you have a good idea for what (Payton) wants to do,” Lombardi told The Post. “You are not always right, but you try to b...
