Advocate staff photo by SCOTT THRELKELDNew Orleans has reportedly lured special teams coach Mike Westhoff out of retirement, according to ESPN.
Westhoff is something of a legendary special-teams mind. He served as the coach for the Dolphins from 1986-2000 and then moved to the New York Jets, where he coached the special teams until he retired in 2012.
The Saints apparently lured Westhoff out of retirement on Wednesday by allowing him to oversee the entire special teams.
