It seems like New Orleans Saints fans have been clamoring for changes on the defensive coaching staff for years, and probably for good reason. A carousel of underwhelming defensive coordinators including Gregg Williams, Steve Spagnuolo, Rob Ryan, and Dennis Allen has been spinning for years, but the position coaches remained mostly-constant.
That changed early this year when the Saints parted ways with linebackers coach Joe Vitt and linebackers assistant James Willis, defensive line coach Bill Johnson (who has since joined the Los Angeles Rams), special teams coordinator Greg McMahon and special teams assistant Stan Kwan.
