Saints, Vikings interested in former Dolphins coach Dan Campbell

The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings are among teams that have interest in hiring former Miami Dolphins interim coach Dan Campbell, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder.

Saints coach Sean Payton coached Campbell when he was a tight end with the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and Saints (during the 2009 offseason before being placed on injured reserve). Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was on the Cowboys’ staff when Campbell played there from 2003-2005.

Payton described Campbell as “a fantastic guy,” “tough and strong” when Campbell became the Dolphins’ coach earlier this year.
