It looks like there's a third potential candidate for the New Orleans Saints' vacant defensive coordinator position.
Last night we learned Sean Payton and staff will be interviewing Rob Ryan tomorrow and Georgia's Todd Grantham today for their vacant defensive coordinator position.
But it looks like there's another potential candidate the team will consider. Fox reporter Jennifer Hale caught up with the Saints head coach at last night's Hornets game and he revealed a juicy little nugget of information. Hale tweeted: "Just interviewed @saints Sean Payton at @hornets game. No decision on DC by Friday bc he's bringing in a 3rd candidate early next week."
