According to sources, Sean Payton is so interested in returning to coaching in the NFL that he's already putting together an all-star staff that includes a former Broncos head coach.
As the NFL's coaching carousel is expected to continue to spin later this month with what experts expect to be somewhere between five and seven head coach openings, sources say that Saints head coach Sean Payton is keeping an eye on the situation.
The Colts and the panthers will be rid of their head coaches.
He will not be cheap and is considered the top available head coaching candidate. According to sources, any team that wants to hire the former Saints head coach will have to make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the game and give New Orleans a draft pick or multiple picks.
A coaching tandem that brings instant credibility and respectability is what any team that decides to meet the Saints' price will get.
One of the game's top defensive minds, Fangio is expected to be in demand from more than just Payton. In an ideal world, Fangio and Payton would be able to form a top coaching duo if they joined forces.
In September of this year, when he stepped down as the Saints' coach, he said that he would be interested in a return to coaching. He coached New Orleans to the only title in franchise history with a victory over the Colts in the Super Bowl.
Fangio was let go by the Broncos in January of last year. He's worked as a defensive consultant for the Eagles this season and has experience as an NFL defensive coach with the Bears, 49ers, Texans, Colts and the Carolinas.
