FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Saints coach Sean Payton was asked would he be interested in the Giants’ head coaching job during a conference call on Wednesday.
Payton has ties to the Giants organization where he was the offensive coordinator from 2000 to 2002.
“No, I’m focused on this game,” Payton said alluding to Sunday’s game against the Jets. “I’ve got a lot of good friends back there and I’m sure they’ll make the right decision. But it seems like a different universe right now when it comes to those other things. We can’t keep track of the regular news let alone the sports news.
