Saints GM Mickey Loomis said that the team wanted to get the best coach possible and that they weren't in a hurry. They've also had months to prepare for this ever since they were out of the playoff mix. The new head coach will also be able to make a decision on the coaching staff.

Former LSU football passing game coordinator Joe Brady won’t be returning to Louisiana. On Saturday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Brady opted to stay with the Buffalo Bills and removed his name from the Saints’ head coaching search.
