Saints ready to make a call? The Saints should decide by Wednesday at the earliest who they want their next head coach to be. Cowboys offensive coordinator Sean Payton and former Packers coach Mike Sherman have a slight edge over other candidates. Former Rams coach Mike Martz is also in the mix along with Maurice Carthon, offensive coordinator of the Browns. Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson also interviewed for the job. The Saints did a good job of putting together a good list of candidates, which is much stronger than anyone thought it would be. They have two former head coaches with winning records and several bright, young assistants. It is GM Mickey Loomis' decision to make, and he isn't supposed to be restricted financially when he makes it.

Also,

Haslett the guy for Lions? Former Saints coach Jim Haslett has a great chance at getting the Lions job. The final three is expected to be Haslett, Steelers offensive line coach Russ Grimm and Bucs defensive line coach Rod Marinelli. Grimm can't be signed until after the Steelers finish their playoff run, and that could kill his bid for the job. The Steelers are playing in the AFC title game and won't become available until next week at the earliest. Expect Haslett to have a second interview this week with the Ford family, which could lead to an offer.
