Former Saints head coach Sean Payton took to social media Wednesday to challenge legendary former Alabama head coach Nick Saban on his recollection of how Drew Brees ended up in New Orleans in 2006. Nineteen years ago, Saban was entering his second campaign as the head coach of the Dolphins following a 9-7 season.

With the Dallas Cowboys hiring Brian Schottenheimer as head coach on Friday, the New Orleans Saints are the only NFL team that still has a head coaching job available. Now that there's no competition, they can take their time finding their next leader but have already interviewed a strong list of candidates.

The matchup for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans will be finalized on Sunday after the AFC and NFC Championship Games. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will play for the AFC title and the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders will play for the NFC crown.
