New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton said he would take his time hiring a new defensive coordinator after firing Steve Spagnuolo on Thursday. It doesn't mean the Saints will take their time in reaching out to potential candidates, though.

The Saints have reached out to former Chiefs Coach Romeo Crennel to discuss the team's defensive coordinator job, a league source said. There also could be interest in former Jets Coach Eric Mangini for the vacant defensive coordinator position, ESPN reported Friday. The report also said it was possible that Crennel and Mangini could wind up on the same staff in New Orleans in two separate positions.
