Thoughts on possible DC candidates and what is the hold up

sportsaint said

As the days roll by and we get closer to the Super Bowl, it seems that Payton is waiting for one of the assistants/coaches of the 2 teams left to find his new DC. Which might mean that Romeo is not in the mix until Payton finds out that someone from the 2 teams left isn't interested or isn't allowed to make the move. Just a thought...

Romeo is likely either Plan B for DC, or Payton hopes he can be the D-line coach. Remember that Romeo is owed money next year from the Browns AS LONG as he is not a coordinator/head coach. Or Crennel is just one of MANY DC candidates and the Saints want to bring them all in for interviews. So they are waiting for their DCs on their list (among them likely position coaches from 49ers) to finish Superbowl.
