Aaron Kromer, Pete Carmichael, Steve Spagnuolo hold the keys to New Orleans Saints immediate success

By now, suspended coach Sean Payton's lasting mantra of "Do Your Job" probably lingers in the dreams and nightmares of every New Orleans Saints coach and player. The slogan is stamped on T-shirts. It's echoed by many on a daily basis. It hangs in all caps high along the wall on a billboard of the team's indoor practice facility, with Payton's face captured in a moment where he's staring someone down for not doing their job.

Yet the three coaches most noted to possibly become the interim to the interim head coach, once interim coach Joe Vitt leaves for his six-game suspension, didn't know their full job description. Now that Aaron Kromer has been dubbed as Vitt's replacement leading into Week 1 against the Washington Redskins, he, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo understand their responsibilities for the first seven weeks of the 2012 season.

Carmichael will be the mastermind of the offense. Spagnuolo will focus every ounce of his coaching days on the defense. Kromer will take over the role of head coach while maintaining his duties as offensive line coach.

It all sounds clean, tidy and bulletproof, right? The Saints sure hope so.

What can't be denied is that all three assistant coaches will feel the added pressure that will come with this unprecedented situation, thanks to the NFL's penalties for the alleged bounty scandal.

A little dry at points, but overall... a good read.

Kromer expressed the last thing he wants to do in his six-game stint as head coach is change the philosophy and routine left behind by Payton. He feels this is Payton's team. His team may be down the road. But right now, Kromer wants it to feel like nothing has changed and wants as much input from his fellow assistant coaches as possible.

Our team is in good hands with, Vitt, Kromer, Carmichael & Spags.
It is funny though how many coaches it takes to fill Payton's shoes.
