NEW ORLEANS —If Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints part ways over the next few days, here are several candidates who could possible take over as head coach.
2. Mike Riley
University of Nebraska head coach
I don't think Riley would be the No. 1 guy but he is extremely close to Loomis. After a disastrous stint as the San Diego Chargers head coach maybe Riley is ready to return to the NFL, especially working for a general manager he's got a great relationship with.
Riley was the Saints associate head coach in 2002 under Jim Haslett.
