"We've gotten it right before," New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis told a reporter in his year-end media session. To bring clarity, that was nearly two decades ago when the franchise hired a confident and youthful Sean Payton. Indeed, he did not refer to Dennis Allen, although he stated, "I don't regret" his hiring.

After Liam Coen declined the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New Orleans Saints may have competition for Joe Brady, if they want him.

Mike McCarthy eyes the Saints' top job; Trent Baalke exits as the Jaguars' general manager. Robert Saleh could potentially land the lead role with the Jaguars.
