Payton denies Ryan hire imminent, speaks in-depth on BountyGate
 

If Rob Ryan is going to be the new defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints, it has not happened yet, at least, according to Sean Payton.

The Saints head coach was a guest on "Mike and Mike In The Morning" Wednesday morning and addressed that situation, as well as "Bountygate" and lingering bitterness moving forward regarding the suspensions.

Was Romeo just a pipe dream? I'm curious to know what happened and why he is isn't the front runner based on his background and running the 3-4.

Re: Payton speaks on DC hiring...
 

Romeo is still being paid from his KC contract. He would actually lose money if he coached this year because no one would match his salary from being a HC to a DC. It's in his best interest to sit 2013 out unless it was for a HC job with 5 year deal.

Tomsula!!

Re: Payton speaks on DC hiring...
 

go with an up and coming coach please. and do the same in the secondary.

A Tomsula hire could mean some FA from SF coming here. say Isaac Sopoaga

Re: Payton speaks on DC hiring...
 

I was listening to Sirius and Adam Schein said the Saints hiring Rob Ryan as DC was a BIG MISTAKE. Jim Miller was more kind...said given the current state of the D, not a bad thing.

I am not in favor of Ryan as the DC for the Saints. Not now, not ever!

Re: Payton speaks on DC hiring...
 

I wish these people saying we HIRED him already get their **** right. This is what happens when people take Schefter's tweets as Gospel. He's been wrong before u know..... And SEAN PAYTON HIMSELF ON NATIONAL RADIO THAT HE HASN'T EVEN INTERVIEWED THE GUY.

How hard is that to comprehend?!?!?
