New Orleans Saints to restructure front office if Sean Payton stays, CBS Sports reports

01-04-2016, 07:27 PM

The New Orleans Saints would undergo a series of front-office changes that would give them a new general manager if coach Sean Payton stays beyond the end of the 2015 season, CBS Sports reported Sunday.

The report said Mickey Loomis would have less daily involvement with the Saints and become more involved with the New Orleans Pelicans. Also under that scenario, the report said Jeff Ireland, hired in the offseason as an assistant general manager and college scouting director, would assume Saints GM duties.

The report also addressed the possibility of Payton leaving after the season, with the San Diego Chargers and New York Giants listed with the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins as having interest in the coach.

A possible candidate to replace Payton in that case would be Doug Marrone, a former Saints offensive coordinator and current Jacksonville Jaguars assistant head coach and offensive line coach.

wow... all things in the balance

If Loomis isn't GM then Payton can walk free and clear with no compensation

i think they're saying Loomis has been spread too thin. I still think Payton is staying and Brees extends contract and spreads out cap hit over years freeing money.

I hope Ireland runs a tight ship.

Brees will stay no doubt. He already said he would restructure. Its Payton I am worried about. Why would they make changes if he stays opposed to if he goes?

This is getting worse than the presidential race with everybody making **** up just to get people to look at them!

My 2 cents, for what its worth. I think both guys are joined at the hip, Drew and Sean. Not a big fan of Jeff Ireland. I like Doug Marrone.
