Saints plan to interview ex-49ers coach Jim Tomsula for defensive line opening.

Outside of coordinators, assistant head coach hires in the NFL rarely qualify as splash moves, but one man the New Orleans Saints plan to interview would qualify

The Saints intend to interview Jim Tomsula, the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2015, for the defensive line coach opening with the Saints, according to a source.

Sporting News reported Friday the Saints interviewed Tomsula earlier this week, but the source said the interview hasn't yet happened.

Prior to his promotion, Tomsula coached the 49ers' defensive line from 2007-14, a unit that was among the best in the NFL at times during that stretch. Tomsula, 48, did not coach in 2016.

We asked for it, and now we have it.

According to Alex Marvez of the Sporting News, former 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula has interviewed with the Saints for their vacant defensive line coaching gig.

The Saints are looking for someone to replace Bill Johnson, who was fired as part of a staff shakeup there. Johnson landed with the Rams.

Tomsula went 5-11 in his one season as 49ers head coach in 2015, and was defensive line coach there for the eight years prior.

He was out of football last year, living off the $14 million the 49ers paid him for one season of work.
