According to ESPN, Bill Parcells will not become the interim coach for Saints this season.

"While there has been minimal communication between the Saints and Parcells in the past week, a source said that Parcells indicated to Payton in a recent conversation that he preferred to remain retired."

Now it looks as if the Saints will turn to Joe Vitt, the assistant head coach/linebackers, as the interim coach when the Saints begin their offseason program on Monday, the day that Payton begins serving his one-year suspension.
