Saints have interest in Mike Vrabel, Gruden mentioned

FWIW, Underhill stated the Saints are going to move slowly to hire the next coach in NO. He expects at least 10-12 people including college coaches they want to talk to.

Expect the search to be long and cast a wide net.

I hope so! I'd like them to find the next Sean Payton or Jim Mora, minus hi OC of course. Both Vrabel and Gruden are both in the "Just Above .500" club.

The Saints and the FAN BASE deserve better than RETREAD coaches.

Ben Johnson voter here.

Pats have asked for permission to talk to Ben.

I swear, if Loomis hires that ball sack as our coach, I'll swap teams.

For real. Dude won the Super Bowl 23 years ago.

For some reason when I read this I read "retread" as "retarded"

In the Pete Carrol sort of direction, if we wanted to hire a caretaker coach, which I think could make sense in a rebuild, another option could be Gary Kubiak. He is basically the same age as Sean Payton, but has had some bad luck in the past with health scares. I think he is the type of leader who could preserve a winning culture even if we have 1-2 seasons where it is unlikely to actually win a lot due to a rebuild. I think we would be better off with Kubiak that Rizzi in most respects, and I dont think Kubiak would insist on a long term deal.

FYI ...

Saints completed an interview with Aaron Glenn today

Would love to see them hire Glenn, but it's very possible he gets a better offer.
