After years of fan derision, the Saints finally parted ways with LB coach Joe Vitt.
Along with Vitt, the Saints also let go Special Teams coach Greg McMahon and defensive line coach Bill Johnson. Throw in assistant ST coach Stan Kwan and assistant LB coach James Willis, and that’s five coaches let go on the day.
It’s Christmas come again for Saints fans. Especially with Vitt.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m sure Vitt brought a lot to the organization, and that the team will need to find a competent replacement. After all, when Payton was suspended for a year he chose Vitt to serve as head coach in the interim.
