Sean Payton reportedly wants Vic Fangio to be his defensive coordinator as he eyes a return to the NFL
Dec 24, 2022
It is no secret that former Saints head coach Sean Payton has been eyeing a return to the sideline following a year off from coaching. Now, he appears to be lining up a coaching staff.Payton would like an “all-star staff” at his next spot, which would include Vic Fangio as his defensive coordinator. Fangio, a longtime defensive coach in the league, spent three seasons as the Broncos head coach before losing his job following the 2021 season. He, like Payton, has spent the 2022 season away from the NFL instead of jumping back into the league immediately after getting fired.
When it comes to assistant coach options, it is hard to get someone better than Fangio running the defense. The 64-year-old has been a defensive coordinator for five different NFL teams in his career, but his work as an assistant for the 49ers and Bears is what got him a head-coaching job., with either the Chargers or Rams, should one of those jobs open, though neither is a guarantee.
The Saints are 5–9 in their first year under Dennis Allen, Payton’s defensive coordinator from 2015 to ’21, as coach.
