MOBILE, Ala. -- The New Orleans Saints coaches will have some catching up to do next week.
Because the Saints were tabbed to coach the NFC Pro Bowl team, the coaches are in Orlando this week instead of Mobile for the Senior Bowl.
Coaches typically play a role in the interview process with the players in the annual college all-star game, but all of those duties now fall on the scouting staff. After the Pro Bowl, coaches will likely have to do some studying of the players they couldn't watch or interview this week.
The Saints have had general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant GM Jeff Ireland sitting in on the formal interviews with Senior Bowl players this week.
