Parcells’ top offensive aide picked for Saints' job
The Saints named Cowboys assistant head coach Sean Payton, 42, as their new head coach on Wednesday. Payton is considered a creative offensive coach with a QB background. He has an attractive lineage � Payton most recently worked under Bill Parcells in Dallas � and was chosen by general manager Mickey Loomis to lead the Saints back into New Orleans and out of the NFC basement after they finished a conference-worst (based on schedule strength) 3-13 to earn the No. 2 overall draft pick. The Dallas Morning News reported Payton requested permission from the Cowboys to hire LB coach Gary Gibbs as his defensive coordinator and OL coach Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator. Another report tied former Packers coordinator Jim Bates to the Saints.
