A playoff caliber team outside of a couple key spots, an amazing GM who knows how to work the cap, and a ride-or-die fan base.
This is going to be a great spot for whoever is the next coach. https://t.co/0OzP6fBDwS

I’ve worked out for one NFL team, during my crazy journey @Saints. @SeanPayton was the first NFL coach to give me a shot. And in 9 years was the only one to release me as well. Appreciate you giving me an opportunity, keeping me humble and grounded, along with motivating me ✊🏼💯

Expect the #Saints to interview Dennis Allen — considered the leading candidate — and #Lions DC Aaron Glenn for their now vacant HC job. https://t.co/7v8gr8GW0c

The Saints really are in cap hell. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. This is worse than anything they dealt with while Brees was on the roster. If there was a time for them to fire sale and rebuild, it’s now. https://t.co/GYUx7jW3gf

Was just looking back at the 2005 Cowboys staff Sean Payton was hired off of …
• Pass-game coordinator Sean Payton.
• Run-game coordinator Tony Sparano.
• DC Mike Zimmer.
• RBs coach Anthony Lynn.
• WRs coach Todd Haley.
• DBs coach Todd Bowles.Parcells could pick 'em.
